Sunday started way too early as my sister and I had to be at Raley Field by 7:15 AM for the Shamrock’n half marathon which was actually 6:15 AM with spring forward. Ick! Because this race is always the Sunday before St. Patrick’s Day, it often happens on the morning of spring forward but still […]
Pre-Race Week for the List
Hello and happy Sunday! I am feeling wiped after the Shamrock’n half marathon and enjoying sitting a bit before finding energy to walk dogs. The race recap is coming soon after I finish sorting pictures and resting. The week leading up to the half was jam-packed with work stress, but also great eats. Sweet hubby […]
Avocado House Dressing
It looks like it will be perfect weather for the Shamrock’n half marathon this weekend, can’t complain about highs in the 70s and slightly overcast. Let’s just hope my performance can hang in there too because my legs are feeling tired after my final speed training session at the gym. The pups will be ready for […]
Creamy Basil Quinoa
The weather is odd here, it’s not cold but it is cold … you know? Temps were in the 50s for my long run Sunday and it felt much colder thanks to the moisture and strong winds. I was really regretting not wearing running gloves by mile 6 when it became clear my hands weren’t […]
Great Eats and Community for the List
Happy Sunday! I love weekend mornings to enjoy quiet times sipping coffee and catching up on email while not worrying about rushing for work. Currently I’m motivating myself for and thinking about today’s long run while the weather figures out what it’s doing. The hourly forecast showed no rain for the next few hours, but […]
Creamy Dijon Roasting Sauce
Ah, thank goodness the weekend is almost here! There is more rain in our weekend forecast, but I’m not gonna let that bug me for Sunday’s training run. At least that’s the plan, we’ll see. :-) Sweet Leela has been very clingy and hungry lately and even tolerates more hugs. I worry about her because […]
Dilly Hummus Dressing
It’s interesting that Miko’s diet has adapted so much to ours. As soon as he hears me chopping carrots or broccoli in the kitchen, he comes racing into the kitchen because he knows I’ll share. He gets so excited, you’d think I’m tearing open a bag of phony bacon or some other awful processed dog treats. […]
Sushi and Crap Run for the List
I hope everyone is having a great weekend! This one seems to be flying by after a leisurely long weekend last week – I got spoiled by that. And I have been dragging this week – not sure why, maybe the weather, work stress, and maybe wrapping everything up with my Rouxbe Forks Over Knifes […]
Tahini Curry Sauce
The rain is finally gone, we got sunshine here and little hints of spring with trees starting to bloom. Miko is happy as long as he has snuggle couch time with hubby. And I am happy this week because I have one of my favorite squashes – an organic kabocha squash from Whole Foods. It […]
Working Through the Forks Over Knives Program
Today was the last day of rain for a few days at least and thank goodness! It literally rained all day yesterday nonstop. Miko was not even interested in the backyard, but happy to cuddle in his favorite blanket. I know we should be thankful for the rain and I am, this is the wettest […]
