I survived my final 20-mile training run today and actually have enough energy left to take the dogs for a walk. The poor pups have been a little spooked this week, maybe all the political drama has gotten to them too. I caught up on podcasts during the run which all seemed to be political, […]
Tough Week Eats
Hang in there, Friday is almost here. I’m ready, it’s been a stressful and emotionally draining week. With a marathon less for 4 weeks away (ack!!!!!) I am feeling the stress and strains of training and injury paranoia. And really focusing on cleaning up my eats more with whole starches, lots of fruits and veggies, […]
Creamy Cilantro Dressing & Hazelnut Treat
Like me, the pups are tired of politics and have been acting a little rattled all evening. I think even Smokey is a little clingy following hubby and I around. I’m choosing to focus on vibrant salads instead because gorgeous, fresh veggies always makes things better. Especially when coated with a kicky and creamy tahini […]
Tough Miles for the Weekend List
Whoa, another weekend is flying by too fast. It’s been a productive and fun weekend so far that included more steamed spaghetti squash with hummus dressing and kale edamame salad. Spicy Thai cashew tofu stir fry. A deal shopping trip to Grocery Outlet. Miko enjoying a warm bed and blanket fresh out of the dryer. And […]
Still Keeping It Easy
I gotta admit I am wiped this week! I guess that’s to be expected this far into marathon training, I’m glad I’m tapering my long run this weekend before taking on the 20-miler next since I taking it a little easy resting pains here and there after Sunday’s 18-miler. And I’m starting to look forward to […]
Fun & Simple
Gosh, November already?! Well, happy World Vegan Day! I know, everyday is world vegan day for vegans. But what started as a November 1st celebration has expanded to an entire month long vegan celebration and is a great excuse for vegans to get out more and be a positive influence for the loving lifestyle. I celebrated by wearing […]
Vegan Chef Challenge Eats & the Dreadmill
Wow, another weekend flew by too fast. This was a very challenging week at work, we’ve had a lot of projects, re-organizations, and shakeups lately and training three new hires in our team while it was my boss’s last week and trying to make sure everything is covered before he moves out of state. One […]
More Easy Meals
Rain, rain, and lots of rain! It’s pretty much supposed to rain non-stop through Sunday … maybe even longer. Not a bad thing, we need it! But we’ll be seeing possible lightening storms on my 18-mile run day and I may be heading to the gym for that one. Boo, guess I’d better start finding […]
New Kitchen Toy & Vegan Chili
Fall is in full swing here and I love it even if there’s a chance my 18-miler will be in the rain this weekend. Miko is not loving the rain and protested his walk this morning on the wet pavement, he’s loving time snuggled in his warm blanket. Fall and winter means lots of chili […]
More Chef Challenge for the List
It’s been a great weekend, I would just like more of it! Friday night we had another fun dinner for the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge at the Tower Bridge Bistro. Between hubby and I, we shared tomato and artichoke heart Bruschetta, roasted rainbow carrot salad with quinoa, miso and agave marinated tofu with chickpeas, lentils, and […]
