While We Were Away…

Over our time away, it’s important to make sure we stay active and focus on our interests. One of the things I have been focusing on during this time is Volleyball. Without access to a gym, I have been doing some at home drills and workouts that are designed to have benefits that will help me become a better player! The first workout I am doing is a two mile run with 30 second sprints. This will...

My time on this "coronacation" has been very boring. Thankfully, the amount of extra time I now have has helped me pick up some new hobbies, like working out. Instead of "Netflix and Quarantining," try taking a break, maybe for even an hour, and get active. According to mayoclinic.org, there are many benefits to an hour of exercise such as: weight control combats health conditions and disaeses ...

I love cooking, so I'm using my time away from Del Val to play with some new, original recipes. I will be posting one recipe each day of a meal that I made for Mrs. Smith and myself.  I spend most of my free time watching Food Network and reading my 200+ cookbooks (I'm not kidding), and I do my best to create something new in my kitchen every day.  Here are the creations that I came up with while...

I've been training for a half marathon since November, and it was scheduled to take place at the end of April. On Monday, I received an unfortunate email explaining that they had to cancel, but I'm going to try and see the training plan through!
