Yes on this week almost being over. It seems strange to me that I feel frazzled at times when we don’t have kids. But sometimes just working full time, running a house, taking care of fur kids, and maintaining fitness is a lot too. How sad is that? Work has been very consuming lately without […]
Life & Simple Meals
I am pretty happy this week is almost over and I didn’t get called in for jury duty, woohoo! I was on call having to check each night to see if needed the next day this week, so that was a relief. And it actually got chilly here again this week – lows in the […]
Marching On for the List
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 […]
Over this Week
This week is almost over, woohoo! It has been an off and strange week for me and I am ready to end it. The 4-mile Valentine Run I did on Saturday with my sister did something awesome – they let us download the race photos for free! Normally I don’t care about them, especially for shorter […]
Wrapping up 2016
First I’m kind of addicted to these 2016 memes, can you relate? After trying to avoid the crap storm a negative news and social media. And not successfully doing it, ugh. There were disappointments for everyone this year. I like to see the ups and downs of 2016 as a reminder to focus on the […]
Keeping It Stress-Free
Wow on Christmas almost being here. For some reason I was feeling the stress earlier this week which is just silly, I know. But there’s a lot going on with work, projects outside of work, and Christmas planning. That mixed with just being busy in general the last few months and feeling the stress of […]
Thankful and Comfort Eats
It has been raining hard and windy all day today, Miko is not happy and refuses to even go into the backyard. He just wants to park it by the fireplace. Or bring me his toy for indoor playtime. That doesn’t sound too bad, wish I could have stayed indoors all day today! After this […]
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 […]
More Pre-Marathon Eats
Okay, maybe now I’m starting to get a little nervous and excited about Sunday’s marathon. I also learned that Scott Jurek will be running it too, how cool is that? I hope I get an opportunity to meet him! Today was my final training run at the gym and it was only 2 miles. It […]
Final Marathon Training Week Eats
Still trying to grasp that the marathon is less than a week away! Not feeling very nervous yet and just trying to go with it. The final 2-mile training run followed by 2 days of rest will feel strange I’m sure after logging so many miles. Just trying to be calm and enjoy our Christmas […]
