It’s nice to relax a bit after a couple of busy days at work, Miko has been enjoying downtime watching the Olympics in the evening with us. I motivated myself to the gym after work today for a 30-minute tempo run and weight session. It was good, but tiring since the heat was back today and […]
Running Through the Weekend List
Happy Sunday! It’s been a lazy weekend for Miko, lots of lounging and sleeping between long walks. It was a bit of a traumatic weekend for Leela, I found a huge tick on her neck that I had to remove. Poor sweetie was a good little patient and got a handful of coconut treats after. Boo on the weekend being almost […]
Childhood Throwback & Weekend List
I’m kind of sad that July is over already, summer is flying by fast with so much going on at work. Then again, we like to celebrate summer more in September when it’s still warm here, but not hot, and kids are back in school so popular places are less crowded. And hopefully things will be calmer at […]
Fab Eats & Weekend List
It has been hot this weekend, a high of 106 degrees both Saturday and today. The pets are perfectly content to lounge around inside and enjoy the air conditioning. I don’t blame them! It’s been a quiet weekend for me with hubby out of town at a convention for work, I got the house to […]
Another Year
Whew, this has been a crazy week, one of the craziest at work in a long time. So I’m popping in with a quick post hoping everyone is having a great week. I spent way to much time sitting at my desk working through issues and multitasking this week and looking forward to wrapping up […]
Easy Eats & The Weekend List
It’s been a bit of a quiet, maybe a little dull weekend here, not as fun as last weekend since I’m on call for work during a big migration project. Smokey is happy to have me home and has been taking every opportunity she can to get more attention. It was a little nice to […]
Disconnected Camping Vacation
Happy 4th of July! I’m back after 5 nights of camping in the Humboldt Redwoods with family. I had every intention of blogging from our campsite and even had posts ready to go, but no cell reception through most of the trip even though the coverage map showed there was coverage – it lied! Disconnecting to enjoy […]
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 […]
Weekend List & Getting Summer Ready
Happy Memorial Day weekend, hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend so far! It hasn’t been too productive here, I spent yesterday running necessary not fun errands like a service appointment for my car, but going to Grocery Outlet after the gym was fun and we scored on more cheap ripe bananas and snack foods. And soaked […]
New Shoes & First Seitan Attempt
After probably spending too much time researching shoes, I decided to try the Brooks Ravenna 7 as my next running shoes. I did a lot of reading, but went with these after the Brooks Shoe Finder recommended them. They are a little obnoxiously bright, but it was either these or boring grey. I broke them […]
