One of the reasons we were in Portland was to go to the Portland VegFest which we did last Saturday. And it was a sensory overload with a massive vendor and food hall! We had to get there pretty early on Saturday to catch Treating the Cause to and Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by […]
Fun with Hummus
It’s been a week already, I am ready for the weekend. But we are getting cooler temps finally with temps and breezy! So welcome after weeks of smokey heat. Miko has been just a sweetheart patiently waiting for more weekend time too. And enjoying the warm sheets out of the dryer before I put them […]
Chill for the Weekend List
It is finally not as smokey here, we’re getting blue skies and pretty sunrises for our morning walks, or more morning carries for Leela. Miko has been full of energy lately, ready to play and play in the evenings bringing us multiple toys from his toy box until we start throwing one for him. But […]
Time to Chill
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. The last few days have been a blur here in a good but stressful way. I’ve said it before, but for me the day after Christmas feels more like Christmas as a time to relax after all the chaos and stress and really enjoy the gifts and decorations […]
Simple Week Meals
While driving to work yesterday, I caught a story on NPR about climate change and the drastic changes we need to make now so the next generation has a chance to be happy. Nothing really new, but I found myself feeling the same way I have been on long runs lately – feeling like I’m gasping […]
October Needs to Chill
Usually October is one of my favorite months, cooling temps, pumpkins, holidays to look forward to, turning leaves – what’s not to love? But this year we got off to a bad start between scary family health problems, urgent road trips, work stress, missing a half marathon, and blah! I will say that long runs […]
Simple, Healthy Meals
Sweet Leela is a senior chihuahua who loves her long walks dearly, but crashes in a comfy bed for hours after. After our super long walk last weekend, even Miko crashed for hours in his clean and comfy blanket. I’m ready to crash after this week of working and training. It has not been an […]
Pizza and Spicy Tofu for the List
The weather is so nice today, I’m not feeling depressed that tomorrow is Monday. Lows in the 50s here make perfect morning running weather for my 8 mile easy run this morning. Pace wasn’t super impressive, but my legs and knee are feeling the extra running this week – 22.44 miles total. So my goal […]
Crazy Foodie Bar for the Weekend List
It’s been a great weekend here so far, boo on it almost being over. We wiped poor Leela out with a couple of long walks. She loves walks and begs for them, but crashes in bed after – getting older is tough! It’s been a great week of eats. When we got home last Sunday […]
Celebrate Summer
My schedule is still goofed up from our camping trip and getting a day off, lots of catch up and I have not been feeling too motivated after two very crazy days at work. I kind of wish I was still parked in a comfy chair at the campsite enjoying peaceful nature because it was nice to […]
