Another weekend flew by too fast, ugh. Not for Leela, she’s been happy to enjoy our cooler fall weather snuggled in blankets. Rough life. I’ve been enjoying more turmeric smoothies this week with Garden Of Life’s Vanilla Raw Protein and Greens, frozen banana, fresh ginger, carrots, kale and broccoli. And I had an interesting comfort […]
The Parkway Half & Weekend List
Happy Sunday, hope everyone is having a great weekend. We needed to play a little catch up today with chores and yard work and I’m feeling a little wiped and sore after a challenging half marathon yesterday. Miko has just been a cute and cuddly sweetheart all week to remind us we should never go out of […]
2017 Shamrock’n Half Marathon
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 […]
Fun Finds for the Weekend List
Happy Sunday! Hopefully it’s been a great weekend so far for you. Yesterday, hubby and I headed to Grocery Outlet after the gym for fun deal surfing and there was a great vegan selection. I scored these organic sun dried Turkish figs for cheap and they’re delicious! And I had very decadent coffee this morning […]
Running Races
I signed up for my first 5k over 7 years ago, before going vegan, and before really having a passion for running. It was just a fun thing to try with my sisters. I got bit with the running bug and injured my ankle over training for another 5k shortly after. Then took a year […]
2016 Run Rocklin Half Marathon
Sunday morning I got up early for my third half marathon in a month. Spring is a great time of year for local races in the Sacramento area making it easy to train for one and keep the the momentum going with races just about every weekend. I saw a lot of the same runners at all three […]
2016 Shamrock’n Half Marathon
It’s nice, sunny, dry, and in the 70s here today. But it wasn’t Sunday for the 2016 Shamrock’n Half Marathon! My sister and I drove to Raley Field together very early in the dark, cold, wind, and rain to meet friends and our shoes got drenched just dashing through the flooded parking lot. Somehow, even with the […]
Weekend List w/ Another Half Done
It is nice to sit down and catch up after a busy morning. I ran the Urban Cow Half Marathon this morning for the 6th year in a row and hopefully I can keep that momentum going. But more on that shortly! Earlier this week I ran to Trader Joe’s to restock the kitchen after our […]
Another Half Done
I made it through another half marathon yesterday in under 2 hours, but it was an early morning and long day! We got up at 4:45 am to get ready and be out of the house by 5:45 am, picked up my sister, and headed to Land Park for the Urban Cow Half Marathon. After […]
