This weekend has been so great that I’m not ready to go back to work tomorrow. It’s been relaxing and productive. After a week of solid rain, the weed and grass growth in the yard has been insane. Literally one day, nothing, next day 3-foot-tall spiky weed is there! It was nice getting the front […]
2016 Shamrock’n Half Marathon
It’s nice, sunny, dry, and in the 70s here today. But it wasn’t Sunday for the 2016 Shamrock’n Half Marathon! My sister and I drove to Raley Field together very early in the dark, cold, wind, and rain to meet friends and our shoes got drenched just dashing through the flooded parking lot. Somehow, even with the […]
Race Stressing for the Weekend List
Happy Saturday! Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Me, well, not so much. I am really stressing about a half marathon I’m running tomorrow morning from a combination of issues. The weather is a huge factor, it has been raining, very windy, and stormy here most of this week with flooded areas. Again, great for […]
Simple Eats Lately
Rain, rain, and more rain here lately. That’s a good thing, California needs it! But things tend to get a little cranky after many wet and gray days. We got a beautiful break in the rain Sunday morning, perfect for a 10-mile run. A little windy and the clouds were starting to build for the next […]
Rain for the Weekend List
Rain, we’re finally getting tons of it here! Along with strong, crazy winds yesterday which the dogs were not thrilled about for their backyard trips. I’ve got to get them out for a long walk and myself out for a long run before it starts again today! This week has been draining and I did not […]
Logging Miles for the Weekend List
Miko has been doing a lot of his favorite thing all week – snuggling in his couch blanket. Such a rough life! I’m on a 2 week countdown until the next half marathon and last week’s training run went really well. But I’ve been feeling a little tired, sore, and sluggish this week and hoping […]
Sprouts and Rain for the Weekend List
Wow, Sunday got here quick! Busy weeks fly by and nice, long runs outside help balance out the stress. We got a break in the rain last Sunday for a 7-mile run in the morning, perfect before being inside the rest of the day working on projects during the rain. I got in a little […]
Snow and Great Eats for the Weekend List
It has been a week here preparing for Christmas and working. Usually working over the holidays does not bother me too much, but this year seemed extra stressful for some reason and I really did not want to be at the office on Christmas Eve with everyone else on vacation. Better put in for extra […]
New Name for the Weekend List
What do you think of the new domain and name? I’ve been meaning to update the name for awhile now since this blog has shifted to being about running and all things vegan as well as raw vegan recipes. When I first started this blog over 6 years ago, I was driven to transition to […]
Beating the Blerch for the Weekend List
Happy Sunday morning, I’m enjoying a quiet morning listening to the rain outside while the sun is just starting to come up – so pretty. It also rained last Sunday here and we got caught in pretty heavy downpours on our long runs. It was fine, running in the rain was actually kind of refreshing […]
