I've made some references to a new project on the horizon, and it's finally here. Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce my new blog: What Would Betty ...

Food as Fuel
Food is fuel. Intellectually, I know this. And of course, logically, the healthier I eat the more efficiently my body will operate. Sometimes I forget this. Thursday was one of those days. Because the boy wanted pasta for dinner, I made a batch and reheated a couple of frozen meatballs for him. I went meatless because ...
New Project in the Works
I'm not going to bore you with the details of my new project yet -- at least not until I have more details to share -- but I will tell you that it's ...
Rest
Today, I diligently followed the instructions from Team in Training. I rested. It felt a little bit strange. Friday is not my usual "off" day, but the process was made easier by back-to-back-to-back conference calls until noon. When you can't get out the door, rest becomes easier to achieve. As part of my training, I'm looking ...
The 3rd 40: Day 34
When you start with a 6:30 run and end it with an 11:30 phone call home, it makes for a very long day. Some highlights from Sunday: After Google Maps listed only Starbucks locations that were behind locked doors in office buildings, I assumed that I would have to order room service to get a halfway ...
The 3rd 40: Day 33
A couple of weeks ago, I had a fairly successful (read: balanced) trip to Chicago. I ran every morning and stopped at Starbucks for oatmeal, a much healthier start to the day than a giant pastry from the continental breakfast. Because of the success of that plan, I decided to scope out the nearest Starbucks ...
The 3rd 40: Days 21-24
I haven't been the best at updating this, have I? I've turned a corner with kickboxing. I went on Tuesday and even though I could feel the exertion in my muscles, I never actually hurt. I went back this morning and felt like I was in a really good groove. I'm far from the best in ...
The 3rd 40: Days 15-19
It's not easy to take care of yourself on a business trip, and this one was no exception. But the weather in Chicago was gorgeous -- 80 degrees! In April! -- ...
Peruvian Chicken and Asparagus Salad
I'd had the Peruvian chicken on the menu all week -- a first-time recipe. At the last minute I was asked to fill in and deliver a meal to a new mom. I threw together the asparagus salad on a whim, not entirely sure that the flavors would work with the chicken. Fortunately, the two ...
Seeking Balance: The 3rd 40
A couple of things happened this week, the sorts of things that made me quickly realize that I need a plan of attack. The first was that I got a new client with a fairly significant project that will keep me hopping for the next three months. This is fantastic, of course. New clients are like ...
