Recovery is going nicely from Sunday’s marathon, getting back to running this weekend should go okay. I have been a little tired getting through the work week which is to be expected. We’re getting freezing temps and rain this week and that’s fine, getting the rain is a good thing and I’m still so thankful for […]
Finished the California International Marathon
I am sore, but still alive after completing my first marathon and what a crazy weekend adventure it’s been! Lots of ups and downs in this race story that starts early Saturday morning at the CIM Expo at the Sacramento Convention Center. I figured I should get there when it opened at 9 am to pick […]
More Pre-Marathon Eats
Okay, maybe now I’m starting to get a little nervous and excited about Sunday’s marathon. I also learned that Scott Jurek will be running it too, how cool is that? I hope I get an opportunity to meet him! Today was my final training run at the gym and it was only 2 miles. It […]
Final Marathon Training Week Eats
Still trying to grasp that the marathon is less than a week away! Not feeling very nervous yet and just trying to go with it. The final 2-mile training run followed by 2 days of rest will feel strange I’m sure after logging so many miles. Just trying to be calm and enjoy our Christmas […]
New V-Dog Products for the list
It’s hard not to feel a bit of the Sunday blues looking at a full work week ahead after 4 days off and lots of family fun, but getting a Christmas tree today and decorating helped while watching Prancer. I got some new products from V-Dog this week – Mini Bites Kibble for smaller dogs […]
Chill Thanksgiving
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! This week has been a bit of a disorienting blur with Thanksgiving planning, Christmas shopping, odd work schedule, and maybe stressing about my upcoming first marathon! So I’m grateful to relax today, not participate in Black Friday madness, and maybe go for a leisurely run. Wednesday at work […]
Simple and Healthy Taper Eats
Things are kind of a blur here after two really busy days at work, Thanksgiving planning, marathon planning, Christmas planning, Rouxbe Cooking Program, and trying to help update the local vegetarian society websites. That’s all good busy though and Miko wants nothing to do with it, snuggling under blankets and in front of the fireplace are […]
Wine Party & Tapering for the List
Just wow on Thanksgiving almost being here! I’ve been invited to a couple of vegan Thanksgiving dinners through local vegan Meetup groups which is awesome, it’s so great knowing there’s a large group of vegans in the area that want to celebrate together. This year we’ll be spending it locally with family, but it will […]
Fueling the Week
Miko was not thrilled on our walk this morning, he kept trying to drag me back to the house. Because it was cold enough for frost! He didn’t appreciate me stopping to admire the pretty frosted leaves. It’s been an interesting week, hasn’t it? Election tensions are still heavy, I’ve been avoiding political conversations daily […]
Easy One Pot Meals and Leftovers
Leela is getting pickier about her food as she ages, maybe sensitive teeth. Lately she’s been lightly snacking on her dinner bowl throughout the night in stages. I need to get her the smaller V-Dog kibble soon, so glad that’s an option for small dogs now! Smaller kibble should absorb water and veggie broth quicker for […]
