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 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 […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
Road Trip Disconnect
I am back home and still trying to get caught up and back into a routine after a whirlwind of a road trip with my sister to visit my dad after a health scare in southern California. We left early-ish Thursday to make the 7-hour drive and I did all the driving. We were making pretty […]
Highs and Lows for the Weekend List
It has been a weird roller coaster of a week and I am still feeling a little overwhelmed and recovering from it. So this will be a short, simple, and sweet post of the highs and lows of it. Let’s start with the lows, get the ugly out of the way first. Getting sick. On […]
New Smoothie Mix & Hydration Pack for the List
Hello and happy Sunday! It’s nice to relax a bit after getting out early on a 12 mile run this morning! But I need to find some more energy to take the pups for a walk soon, they are giving me the stink eye. Yesterday they were happy to share the fresh and warm blanket […]
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 […]
Weekend Fun for the List
It’s been a fun weekend here so far, but nice to relax a bit catching up on laundry and mentally preparing myself to battle the weekend crowds at Trader Joe’s today. Friday night I stepped out with four vegan friends for a girls night at Blue Nami Sushi where the rustic decor and inspirational menu was […]
