Wow, another weekend flew by too fast! And Miko was hoping for more walk time this weekend, but enjoyed snooze time in the office with me and hubby and I while watching Ozark and Defenders on Netflix. I did find a new kitchen gadget to try – the Kuhn Rikon Stay Clean Scrubber as an […]
Fake Grass and Fun Eats for the List
Sunday night already, boo this weekend flew by too fast! But it was also a productive weekend. We had fake grass professionally installed for half of our backyard last week, the half that is closest to the door – easy for the dogs to get to. And on the side I’ve always had problems maintaining […]
Stevia and Better Eats for the List
I have been a bad blogger this week, I failed to write a veggie burger post for national veggie burger day and didn’t even have a veggie burger! And I didn’t run or write about running on national running day! I know. My excuse is I’ve just been busy with work and I think veggie […]
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 […]
Marathon Eats
Recovery is going nicely from Sunday’s marathon, getting back to running this weekend should go okay. I have been a little tired getting through the work week which is to be expected. We’re getting freezing temps and rain this week and that’s fine, getting the rain is a good thing and I’m still so thankful for […]
Finished the California International Marathon
I am sore, but still alive after completing my first marathon and what a crazy weekend adventure it’s been! Lots of ups and downs in this race story that starts early Saturday morning at the CIM Expo at the Sacramento Convention Center. I figured I should get there when it opened at 9 am to pick […]
Final Training Run for the List
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, […]
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 […]
