It may be May, but it’s cool and rainy here and will be for the next week or so. Not complaining, I am happy to enjoy more rain and cooler weather to be more appreciative when the summer heat arrives. And, California always needs the rain. Miko is not happy, he is pouting about not […]
Lentils and a New Dressing
It is pouring rain outside again and we’ve got frustrated, lazy pups wanting a walk. But Miko will have nothing to do with wind and rain and poor Leela gets disoriented more easily in windy weather. And she probably prefers sleeping after a busy play date with my mom’s dog. It’s been awhile, too long, […]
Great Race for the List
Whoa, where did the weekend go already? It’s been a good weekend, productive and I had a great 10-mile race yesterday and great run at the gym today. Friday night I made a simple pre-race dinner of curried lentils and quinoa with veggies, quinoa or any simple grain dish seems to be a great pre-race […]
Getting Better for the Weekend List
I am feeling much better and even had two decent training runs at the gym and a just okay long run outside today. The weather has not been very spring-like the last few days with chilly rain and storms. Since we’re getting sunshine today, we had to take advantage of that for yard work and long […]
Over this Week
This week is almost over, woohoo! It has been an off and strange week for me and I am ready to end it. The 4-mile Valentine Run I did on Saturday with my sister did something awesome – they let us download the race photos for free! Normally I don’t care about them, especially for shorter […]
Keeping It Stress-Free
Wow on Christmas almost being here. For some reason I was feeling the stress earlier this week which is just silly, I know. But there’s a lot going on with work, projects outside of work, and Christmas planning. That mixed with just being busy in general the last few months and feeling the stress of […]
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 […]
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 […]
New Running Shoes and Tacos for the List
I am loving this long weekend! It’s cooler out, the weather was great for my long run this morning and I think I will be taking the dogs for a long walk here in the few. It has been a tough week for training. I had the house to myself this week with hubby on business […]
Sushi and Life for the Weekend List
Whew, it is nice to sit down a minute! I did another half marathon this morning and it was much more hilly with the first 5 miles climbing a steep hill. I will be posting that race story soon after I go through all the pics. But first other stuff from the week! It started […]
