Happy New Year’s Eve! Hubby and I are having a quiet evening at home watching movies, playing video games, and playing in the kitchen. I’ve never been a huge fan of celebrating New Year’s, when we’ve gone out to parties in the past, we rarely had much fun – too much alcohol, drunk strangers, crazy […]
Back at Monday
Wow, how did Monday get here so fast? And it was a hectic Monday because the flu is running through our department, one person was out sick with it last week and three called in sick today! Ugh, keeping my fingers crossed I’m not next! Yesterday I had a severe case of the blahs, I […]
Fall Stir Fry & Hot Pink 10K
It is nice to be relaxing at home now because it’s overcast and chilly outside and I’m a bit wiped after running a very hilly 10K which I’ll be feeling tomorrow for sure! Last night I got creative with a sweet potato for dinner. Even though I adore them, I haven’t been cooking them as […]
Survived it!
After a lot of debating yesterday, hubby and I decided to run the Urban Cow Half Marathon today we signed up for back in July even though we weren’t ready, him with a sore ankle and me with sinus issues, and the other two family members we were gonna run it with weren’t able to […]
The Incredible Vanishing Weekend
This is one of those weekends where I’m not gonna be able to fit in all I want to and need to because it’s already been a whirlwind! Today I have a long list of chores to tackle and shopping to do for the week before preparing food for and hitting another birthday party tonight, […]
Parkway Half Marathon
I completed my 4th half marathon yesterday and it was fabulous crossing the finish line! My new ASICS GT-2160s did well, no unusual pains in my feet, ankles, or hip from the half or all the training. The Parkway Half Marathon is another big annual half marathon in Sacrament that’s on it’s 6th year, but […]
Tempeh Spaghetti & Eating Cheap
Today was my final long run of my half marathon training, the race is next week! I figured a little carb heavy dinner was in order last night to prepare and indulged in something I never make at home – spaghetti. I also wanted it to be high protein and decided to experiment with a […]
Gym Time & Snacking
I did a crazy thing yesterday – joined a gym. It’s only $10 a month and gives me access to a lot more cardio and weight equipment and allows me to mix up my workouts more. And it’s just a couple of blocks from my job, easy access for after work workouts. I tried the […]
Hard Run & Hummus Stacks
Spring forward is a dirty trick! I woke up nice and early this morning thinking I had plenty of quiet time before having to hit the gym and dash out to get the day going, then looked at my computer clock and remembered we lost an hour. Not fair! But Miko doesn’t seem to care, […]
Random Things
TGIF! So happy Friday is here and I have a pretty random post since that’s about all I’m good for after another mind-frying day at work! 1. We’ve been having a chihuahua party here the last two days with three of them in the house watching my mom’s chihuahua while she was out of town. […]
