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 […]
Simple and Healthy Taper Eats
Things are kind of a blur here after two really busy days at work, Thanksgiving planning, marathon planning, Christmas planning, Rouxbe Cooking Program, and trying to help update the local vegetarian society websites. That’s all good busy though and Miko wants nothing to do with it, snuggling under blankets and in front of the fireplace are […]
Fueling the Week
Miko was not thrilled on our walk this morning, he kept trying to drag me back to the house. Because it was cold enough for frost! He didn’t appreciate me stopping to admire the pretty frosted leaves. It’s been an interesting week, hasn’t it? Election tensions are still heavy, I’ve been avoiding political conversations daily […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Eating & Running
We’re back down to two dogs after dog sitting my mom’s dog for a few days and I think Miko misses his friend now. They were cute little cuddle buddies sharing the couch. And Miko didn’t even mind when Dasher stuffed himself in Miko’s bed. But it was not easy walking all three dogs especially when […]
Easy One Pot Meals
Smokey had the right idea Sunday, snuggle up on the couch all day. I was tempted after my long run and long week! But laundry and house work called and so did these World Peas BBQ Fava Crisps for an afternoon snack. I wasn’t sure what to expect – can fava beans make a good […]
