To Run or not to Run. Run! And, don’t forget the lottery ticket!

I ran 4.1 miles with my vibram 5 fingers today after work at the area around the Islands Ymca.  It was a good run.  Funny thing is that I did not want to run nor workout this evening.  When I left work I was kind of run down and simply wanted to go home, take [...]

A new chianti for me

Don’t have much time for this wine review cuz I have to get back to work.
This wine is great! It kicks butt big time!
I love Chiantis & I love this chianti a great deal.
It has a nice & pleasant floral smell & it’s dry & smooth. It’s killer. You’ll love it if [...]

Tempranillo

The wine of the week, the weekend I mean, is Tapena Tempranillo.  Can you say that?  The “n” has that little “enya” sound to it -just like the lady with the  really, really nice voice.  The “ll” in tempranillo is pronounced “yo”, like Rocky Balboa would say.

Here’s a pronunciation: Tempranillo

Obviously, this wine is from Spain, [...]

Another zinfandel

Here’s another decent wine from the barefeet wine making folks. I like their Pinot noir & now, this zinf. And, another excellent thing about these barefeet wines is the price! $5.99 per bottle! That’s totally awesome.
Any way, this Zinfandel is tasty but definitely not excellent. It does have that distinct [...]

3 days til Christmas & I’m still working out. what’s wrong with me?

Ok.  Guess what I did today?  I hit the gym and worked up a good sweat on the elliptical and on the stationary bike.  It was a tough workout today for whatever reason.

I started off my workout with the abs.  I did crunches, alternating crunches, leg lifts and whatchamacallit, uhm, scissors!  That’s it scissors.  It [...]

Very good chianti

this is a darn good wine.
I’m a big chianti fan and must confess that I’m very lenient on this type. what I mean is that it is hard for me to find a chianti that I do not like.

well, I really, really like this one. it is so good. it is smooth [...]

Cardio in the great indoors!

Another evening of indoor cardio exercising.  I tore it up in the gym today.  I hit the weights first and then the cardio.  I didn’t stretch, though.  That is not good.  Unlike Jeff Galloway, I think stretching after running is a very good thing to do but I didn’t do it today.  I’m a hypocrite, [...]

Great workout, now wine

Lets see if I can drink a glass of wine without spilling it all over myself or over the table and on the rug.  Yesterday was not a good day for me to drink wine.  Three times I attempted to drink a glass of wine and all three times I spilled it every where.  What [...]

Bonaventure cemetery run

I ran 3.28 miles at the bonaventure cemetery on Sunday.  That’s the first time I’ve run outside since the Savannah River Bridge run.

I’ve been fearful of running outdoors with the nasty weather we’ve been having the last week because of the long cold I fought -fought a cold for a month!  Anyway, now that I’m [...]

Malbec is great

it’s a been a long time since I’ve drank a malbec. i had forgotten how good malbecs are.
oh yes, this is a blend. I forget. it’s a malbec/merlot blend. this is usually the only way that I like a merlot – when its blended with another varietal.

anyway, I like this wine. [...]
