Whoa, what an experience my half marathon was today! One that started way too early this morning with me leaving the house at 5 AM – ick! As much as I love races, I hate the part where I have to get up that early on a weekend day! I ran the Shamrock’n Half Marathon […]
Getting Resourceful & Stuffing Leftovers
Awhile back I caught an episode of Hoarders where the lady had a ton of jars stock piled and, as I sterilized our kitchen today, I realized I’m at risk for becoming that lady. It’s not that bad yet, but I do have a drawer full of jars I’ve saved for storing bulk ingredients, like […]
More Eating Out & CIM Relay
Whew, what a day! I survived my leg of the CIM relay and the rest of my plans for the day and am now ready to relax. Especially since it’s pouring rain outside as it has been for most of the weekend and I’m getting the stink eye from a very frustrated dog for not […]
Impossible Shot & More Leftovers
We’re officially over the week’s hump and that’s a good thing! I burned the stresses of my work day by taking a long run in our brisk, 40-degree weather and it was nice seeing all the decorations already up in our neighborhood. Quite a few of my neighbors are way ahead of us. :-) Without […]
More Kabocha & Using Leftovers
What a week! Work has been so busy, which I guess I should be thankful for, but have been feeling the need just to catch my breath lately. And catch up on housework with about 52 loads of laundry to do and some aggressive de-cluttering. I’ve been spending too much time playing on the weekends […]
New Shoes & Chickpea Stew
Can’t believe it’s Monday already … and November! I’m pretty sore today from yesterday’s mud run, my legs are making me pay for running way more hills than I’m used to. Okay, I can barely walk! But I’m one of those crazy people that actually doesn’t mind being a little sore, it reminds me that […]
Whole Foods Binge & Mud Run
Hello and happy Halloween! I’m still washing mud out of our shoes, clothes, hair and places it shouldn’t be from this mornings Merrell Down & Dirty 5k. And it was totally worth it! But more on that later. Friday night we ventured out to see a movie, Jackass 3D. I know, real mature adults, right? […]
Morning Workout Break
Hello, how’s Tuesday treating you? It is getting chilly here with lows in the 40s, time to pull down my winter clothes and throw my summer clothes into storage! I also need to start shopping for warmer running clothes because this running in cold temps and rainy weather is foreign to me! Guess I need […]
Cranky Stomach, More Squash & Pronation
At least the week is halfway over, but I am dragging through it. Apparently I’m fighting off whatever nasty cold-thing is flying around, my sinuses and stomach have not been happy the last couple of days and I’m tired. Thankfully it does not seem to be as bad as what other co-workers are dealing with […]
Kefir, New Bottle & Curried Quinoa
Happy Tuesday, how’s your week going so far? Mine is going and I’m looking forward to a day off tomorrow. Before learning about a raw vegan diet, I didn’t really think much about gluten and how it affected me. All I knew is I didn’t seem to be allergic or sensitive to it, so I […]
