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, […]
Tough Week Eats
Hang in there, Friday is almost here. I’m ready, it’s been a stressful and emotionally draining week. With a marathon less for 4 weeks away (ack!!!!!) I am feeling the stress and strains of training and injury paranoia. And really focusing on cleaning up my eats more with whole starches, lots of fruits and veggies, […]
Still Keeping It Easy
I gotta admit I am wiped this week! I guess that’s to be expected this far into marathon training, I’m glad I’m tapering my long run this weekend before taking on the 20-miler next since I taking it a little easy resting pains here and there after Sunday’s 18-miler. And I’m starting to look forward to […]
Fun & Simple
Gosh, November already?! Well, happy World Vegan Day! I know, everyday is world vegan day for vegans. But what started as a November 1st celebration has expanded to an entire month long vegan celebration and is a great excuse for vegans to get out more and be a positive influence for the loving lifestyle. I celebrated by wearing […]
More Easy Meals
Rain, rain, and lots of rain! It’s pretty much supposed to rain non-stop through Sunday … maybe even longer. Not a bad thing, we need it! But we’ll be seeing possible lightening storms on my 18-mile run day and I may be heading to the gym for that one. Boo, guess I’d better start finding […]
New Kitchen Toy & Vegan Chili
Fall is in full swing here and I love it even if there’s a chance my 18-miler will be in the rain this weekend. Miko is not loving the rain and protested his walk this morning on the wet pavement, he’s loving time snuggled in his warm blanket. Fall and winter means lots of chili […]
Simple Weeknight Meals
Friday is almost here and I’m having a glass of wine to celebrate it. No, this post isn’t going Whine About It style, but I would like a wine glass that large. The problem with being really busy at work and maybe a little drained from marathon training is I’m just not feeling getting creative […]
New Hummus Dressing & Fall Treats
I’m sad the last watermelon I picked up was pretty flavorless and weak, I guess I should be thankful I can still buy them in October. But it’s time to focus on winter squash – glorious winter squash and lots of it! I can see going through 3 squashes a week just by myself and […]
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 […]
Fun Finds for the Weekend List
Happy Sunday! Hopefully it’s been a great weekend so far for you. Yesterday, hubby and I headed to Grocery Outlet after the gym for fun deal surfing and there was a great vegan selection. I scored these organic sun dried Turkish figs for cheap and they’re delicious! And I had very decadent coffee this morning […]
