The weather is so nice today, I’m not feeling depressed that tomorrow is Monday. Lows in the 50s here make perfect morning running weather for my 8 mile easy run this morning. Pace wasn’t super impressive, but my legs and knee are feeling the extra running this week – 22.44 miles total. So my goal […]
Tahini Miso Dressing
I am so happy Friday is almost here, it’s still too busy at work. But I had a great hill/tempo run at the gym after to blow off some steam. And Miko is doing much better thankfully! I’ve been adding cooked brown rice to their dinners this week and he’s been enjoying making a mess […]
Miko’s Vet Visit & Rice Dishes
Sunday afternoon, Miko was not a happy camper. He burrowed into his blanket and was not feeling very social. By Sunday night, he was very antsy and restless and could not sit still while we were watching TV. He kept climbing all over us, went to back and forth to the other couch and just […]
Weekend Fun for the List
It’s been a fun weekend here so far, but nice to relax a bit catching up on laundry and mentally preparing myself to battle the weekend crowds at Trader Joe’s today. Friday night I stepped out with four vegan friends for a girls night at Blue Nami Sushi where the rustic decor and inspirational menu was […]
Tough Training Week
It has been a tough week with work, heat, training, and other challenges. It was still close to 100 degrees when I left the gym at 6 pm today, I am ready for fall! And it’s coming, check out the leaves on our tree! Training has been tough this week, the heat and work stress […]
Getting Ready for Fall Salad
It’s still hot, a couple of days of triple digit heat here this week. But hints of fall are starting to show up, leaves are starting to turn in our front yard and the sign is up for the Spirit Halloween store already. I’m ready, bring on the pumpkin spice everything. I might even experiment […]
Flax Milk & Trail Running for the Weekend List
Wow, Sunday is here already! Miko has been all about relaxing this weekend chilling in the office with me. And getting very comfy with us on the couch watching the Olympics. Not so much for Leela, it’s been a rocky weekend for her again – last Saturday I had to remove a nasty tick and […]
Marathon Training is Getting Real
Happy Friday Eve! It is nice to chill and write after busy work days and 3 days of intense running workouts in a row. Yeah, 5 running workouts this week in the triple digit heat – things are getting real with marathon training! And 4 of them have been on a treadmill at the gym, […]
Awesome Burger & Simple Stir Fry
It’s nice to relax a bit after a couple of busy days at work, Miko has been enjoying downtime watching the Olympics in the evening with us. I motivated myself to the gym after work today for a 30-minute tempo run and weight session. It was good, but tiring since the heat was back today and […]
Running Through the Weekend List
Happy Sunday! It’s been a lazy weekend for Miko, lots of lounging and sleeping between long walks. It was a bit of a traumatic weekend for Leela, I found a huge tick on her neck that I had to remove. Poor sweetie was a good little patient and got a handful of coconut treats after. Boo on the weekend being almost […]
