Winter is a running off-season for me, I can run in freezing temps and I’m even getting better at it and enjoying it more. Still runs are rarely impressive like Sunday’s short 4-mile run in the high 20s, low-30s. I got off to a late start because of the cold and cut it short to make […]
Just Chillin’ for the List
Happy Sunday, can you believe next weekend is Christmas?! December is flying by. Smokey is hanging in there, she likes to park it between me and the keyboard on weekend mornings when I’m in the office. She is not as energetic as she was a few weeks ago, but does not seem to be in […]
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 […]
Healthy Eats & Tough Running
December can be a tough month and even tougher this year I think with stress and feelings of blah. Having a crappy run at the gym tonight did not help, it was a bonk since I’m still getting rid of chest cold remnants. But still I’m glad I got it in and I think it helped open […]
Splurging for the List
Happy Sunday – hope everyone is having a great weekend. I’m a little sad it’s almost over. Miko did not enjoy the weekend as much because it rained most of it, not a happy camper about having to go outside in it! I am easing back into running after the CIM Sunday, logging an easy […]
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 […]
Finished the California International Marathon
I am sore, but still alive after completing my first marathon and what a crazy weekend adventure it’s been! Lots of ups and downs in this race story that starts early Saturday morning at the CIM Expo at the Sacramento Convention Center. I figured I should get there when it opened at 9 am to pick […]
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 […]
New V-Dog Products for the list
It’s hard not to feel a bit of the Sunday blues looking at a full work week ahead after 4 days off and lots of family fun, but getting a Christmas tree today and decorating helped while watching Prancer. I got some new products from V-Dog this week – Mini Bites Kibble for smaller dogs […]
