Finally Friday tomorrow! I’m feeling a bit tired and strung out this week thanks to dog sitting, being on call at work and getting calls at unholy hours of the morning and a couple of family birthdays to celebrate. I’ve forgotten how miserable it can be running on a lack of sleep, I’ve been in […]
Still Feels Like A Monday
For some reason I’m still watching local news during early morning workouts, I think because my brain is still waking up and a high-energy workout playlist just isn’t appealing at that hour. I need to stop watching it though because it’s getting depressing and infuriating. They try to stuff in a cheery nugget of information […]
Tomatoes & Tasty Tomato Mush
Hey, where did the weekend go? I swear it was just Friday! Sunday night and I do not get along so well, I always feel like I’m in a manic rush to get things ready for the week – laundry, food planning, vacuuming all the pet fur balls, sterilizing the kitchen while trying to enjoy […]
Dog Ranting & Hemp Curry Dressing
TGIF! I’m seriously ready for a little down time after the last few weeks and weekends being so packed with work, training and lots of little stuff in between. But I’m not looking forward to the house and yard work catch up we need to get to. There’s nothing worse than feeling like I’m running […]
Butternut Roasting & Girls Night Out
This has been a crazy week full of loooong days, I think I’m still catching up after a hectic weekend. After the half marathon Sunday, I was pretty useless and lazy for the rest of the day and am still a little sore today. I want to run again tonight, but still debating if I […]
Sore, But Happy
Woohoo, I survived my first half marathon yesterday, the Urban Cow, and I can still walk today … kind of. I finished in 2 hours & 24 minutes averaging 11-minute miles. Not overly amazing, but great to me considering I didn’t get as much time to train with an ankle injury in August. The distance […]
Wasabi & Quinoa Soups, Race Nerves & Spicy Salad
I’m glad the weekend is here, but this isn’t exactly a relaxing one while preparing for the half-marathon tomorrow which I’m pretty nervous about and not looking forward to leaving the house at 6 AM! I’ve been combing over many articles and books for last minute advice on eating, marathon manners, what to pack, etc. […]
More High Protein Tofu & Eggplant Curry Recipe
Whew, I’m so glad it’s almost Friday! This has been an abusive week with a lot going on at work and home while training for and stressing about the Urban Cow Half Marathon this weekend. I’m looking forward to it and getting it over with because trying to juggle a training schedule with the summer […]
Acorn Squash & A Huge Meal
Well it’s fall and you’d never know it here, our high today was 100! My long run Sunday was brutal in the heat, I did it in our neighborhood and had to line up water bottles on my front porch to swap out as I emptied them and I still felt dehydrated after. I also […]
Chia Seed Sticker Shock & Fall Kefir Water
Hope everyone is having an awesome weekend so far. I’m feeling pretty wiped after a long run in our unseasonably high heat today, it definitely affected my speed and water consumption. So far it’s been a chaotic, but fun weekend. Just call me dog sitting service because I’m sitting both my mom’s and dad’s dogs […]
