I’m looking forward to the half marathon in October, but not training during our triple-digit heat this summer. Active.com has some helpful tips for adjusting workouts to deal with the heat. Trying to cram in morning runs before work is not an option for me now having to leave the house at 7AM, I’m just […]

Whoa, today was a busy day that still felt like Monday to me. Loads going on at work and lots of errands and tasks I need to get to this week. I am feeling the additional physical activity with more running and training in the form of being exhausted at night. I am still watching […]

Happy Meatless Monday! It’s hard to come down from such an eventful, great-tasting weekend, my meals today seem plain compared to what I was spoiled with the last two days. But the challenge is on to recreate my own versions soon! For lunch I threw together a spinach loaded salad with kalamata olives, avocado, cherry […]

How was everyone’s weekend? I’m sad that it’s almost over, but it was a weekend of many great eats! My poor hubby was stuck working all weekend, so I busied myself with eating out, tackling house projects and continuing helping my sister get settled into a new house which is a seemingly never ending project […]

I know that’s not too impressive, but good for me and hopefully I can do better next weekend at the Fleet Feet Women’s Fitness Festival. I started this morning as I usually do, with a […]

I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. Yesterday for lunch, I had a lot of zucchini and broccoli to use up, so I made a messy snack plate using Gena’s Broccoli Hummus, carrot, cucumber and red pepper sticks. It made a wonderfully filling lunch, perfect before running out the door for a noon appointment and […]

It’s an odd Monday here, windy, cold and a little rainy, not very springlike, but more creepy and kind of feels like an episode of X-Files. I enjoyed this tidbit about a male athlete and vegan, Scott Jurek. Though it does not go into detail on why he is a vegan beyond health reasons, but […]

The good news is I’m feeling much better! The bad is now hubby has the cold. :-(  And I’ve got a messy house and long to-do list for the weekend thanks to the not-so-productive week. Oh well, I’ll feel miles better after getting things under control. Yesterday I tried a new snack with lunch – […]
