Happy Super Bowl Sunday! Any good plans? Not here, just chilling at home and hopefully getting dogs out for a long walk while it’s not raining. But I did run the Super Sunday Run 10k this morning at Sacramento State University where there was lots of football festivities and even some runners carried a football […]
Settling into 2017
It was great having yesterday off work, we stayed home most of the day in the rainy and windy weather working on projects, hubby fixed our fence with our neighbor, I cleaned and sorted out the closet and made some other minor repairs I’ve been meaning to get to – so nice. Today was back […]
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 […]
Christmas 2016
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I am thankful to have today off work, much needed after the busy holidays. For most adults, the day after Christmas is more like Christmas – the pressures of the holiday celebrations are over, no more cooking or rich eating, and hopefully a relaxing time to enjoy gifts. I’m […]
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 […]
Wine Party & Tapering for the List
Just wow on Thanksgiving almost being here! I’ve been invited to a couple of vegan Thanksgiving dinners through local vegan Meetup groups which is awesome, it’s so great knowing there’s a large group of vegans in the area that want to celebrate together. This year we’ll be spending it locally with family, but it will […]
