After preparing and rushing for a half marathon and losing an hour last weekend, it’s been nice to chill a bit this weekend and Miko is always ready to chill on his favorite soft couch blanket with me while binge watching X-Files. Leela made herself a cozy bed in the pile of warm blankets that […]
Avocado Miso Dressing
Thank you for the kind words on the Shamrock’n half marathon, it’s been a tough training season which makes me look forward to better running weather ahead with a more aggressive training schedule. It’s been spotty this week while still recovering and keeping busy with work. But nice to rest a little. Sweet Miko continues […]
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 […]
Avocado House Dressing
It looks like it will be perfect weather for the Shamrock’n half marathon this weekend, can’t complain about highs in the 70s and slightly overcast. Let’s just hope my performance can hang in there too because my legs are feeling tired after my final speed training session at the gym. The pups will be ready for […]
Creamy Basil Quinoa
The weather is odd here, it’s not cold but it is cold … you know? Temps were in the 50s for my long run Sunday and it felt much colder thanks to the moisture and strong winds. I was really regretting not wearing running gloves by mile 6 when it became clear my hands weren’t […]
Great Eats and Community for the List
Happy Sunday! I love weekend mornings to enjoy quiet times sipping coffee and catching up on email while not worrying about rushing for work. Currently I’m motivating myself for and thinking about today’s long run while the weather figures out what it’s doing. The hourly forecast showed no rain for the next few hours, but […]
Creamy Dijon Roasting Sauce
Ah, thank goodness the weekend is almost here! There is more rain in our weekend forecast, but I’m not gonna let that bug me for Sunday’s training run. At least that’s the plan, we’ll see. :-) Sweet Leela has been very clingy and hungry lately and even tolerates more hugs. I worry about her because […]
Dilly Hummus Dressing
It’s interesting that Miko’s diet has adapted so much to ours. As soon as he hears me chopping carrots or broccoli in the kitchen, he comes racing into the kitchen because he knows I’ll share. He gets so excited, you’d think I’m tearing open a bag of phony bacon or some other awful processed dog treats. […]
Sushi and Crap Run for the List
I hope everyone is having a great weekend! This one seems to be flying by after a leisurely long weekend last week – I got spoiled by that. And I have been dragging this week – not sure why, maybe the weather, work stress, and maybe wrapping everything up with my Rouxbe Forks Over Knifes […]
