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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Loading Up for the Weekend List
We’re having a relaxing Sunday here, but I think Leela and Miko are missing our house guest last week. And are a little pouty at me for not having a long walk yet today since it’s been raining all day. I’m not complaining, I love the rain and we need more of it! Miko likes […]
Easy , Whole Food Eats
Happy almost Friday! I’m ready for some downtime this weekend after our whirlwind trip. I still feel like I’m catching up on sleep, laundry, etc. from it and have not had much recipe experimenting time. But I did try this treat I scored at Grocery Outlet – Parsnip Chipotle Lime Cilantro Snip Chips. Crunchy with a […]
Pizza and Spicy Tofu for the List
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 […]
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 […]
Catching Up for the Weekend List
Hard to believe the 4th of July is almost here and summer weather is in full swing with lots of triple digit heat days. I always have to remind myself it’s okay to throttle back running miles in this weather and embrace my slower pace when I am running outside because even early morning runs […]
