St Patrick’s Day Feast!

Posted by Sheila on February 17, 2012

Every St. Patrick’s Day Doug and I host a Feast of cornbeef, cabbage, potatoes, carrots and homemade irish soda bread at our house…well this year we will not be able to hold our feast at our house due to the kitchen (or lack of kitchen) being under construction. Yes! it is finally happening…we are getting a new kitchen!!

We still want to host the dinner but we need help! I am going to open the Studio up and invite all of you to come and enjoy a pot luck dinner! We can make it our pre-season kick-off party!

I will still make cornbeef and veggies but I will have to pass the irish soda to someone with an oven!

So bring a dish to share and your favorite drink (maybe Randy will bring some of his homemade beer).

So put March 17th at 6:00pm on the calendar! Pot Luck at the Studio (402 Fifth st, Defiance) Call me to RSVP! 419-782-6250

Early Spring?

Posted by Sheila on February 17, 2012

Well I am hopeful we have made it through most of winter! It has been mild and I like that!

So what have you been doing to keep active this winter? I have seen a few of you out on your bikes. And I have heard talk about spinning at the bike shop. What else have you been up to?

Doug and I started the Couch to 5k running program back in December. We were doing great when in week 6 Doug hurt his knee. That put him out of the running and into physical therapy! Bummer! I, however, am still running. I have to be honest it was easier to run with a partner…I have missed a couple mornings now do to cold weather! I have not missed much!

We are excited for an early riding season!! So COME ON SPRING!!

What is your PLAN for the Winter months?

Posted by Sheila on December 4, 2011

So far this fall I think we have been lucky to have so many days we have been able to ride! BUT…you know it is coming…days…then weeks…then months pass and you have not been outside on your bike! BLAH!

Do you have a plan to keep your legs? Are you going to take a class at the “Y”? How about a trainer in the house? Maybe a spin at the Bike Shop on Tuesday and Thursday nights after the holiday?

If you are like me…you just know you have to do something! Sitting on a trainer is tough for me…in 5 minutes I am ready to jump off and say okay that was NOT fun!

I think I am going to start Yoga this month…Mondays and Wednesdays…that is a start! I know my husband will not be thrilled to hear this because he has agreed to do whatever type of workout I choose with me! hehehe!

I am also thinking I would like to start running again…my knees have no say in this! Have you ever heard of the Couch to 5K? Maybe I will start that in January and I will be ready to do a 5K by St. Paddy’s Day!!! What do you think? Want to join me?

So all in all I need to keep moving! I am praying for a short winter so we can get back on our bikes!!

If you have any ideas about how to keep in shape over the winter let me know! If anyone wants to partner with me to make the time more enjoyable leave me a message here and I will get in touch!
