Happy Thursday, best day of the week! My April fools was filled with silly eight-year old tricks (Mrs. Unger my I forgot my homework…April fools!!) I started early with this apple at about 5am… But this shiny little friend was playing a joke on me…it was mushy and icky. So, I gave it to Punky … Continue reading »

I’m a crazy person.
I let very few people into my crazy psyche. I think four people in my life have ever seen me lose it. Maybe five. But, I’m about to reveal a crazy moment to you all: Today, I set an arbitrary goal to run 2 miles/sub 14:00. This might not sound awesome to a lot of … Continue reading »
Exercise Eraser
I love exercise. Meeker and I just finished an old crossfit workout: 8x400s – 90 seconds rest between each. It totally erased the terrible afternoon I had – more on that later. We were so out of food this morning, I had this x2 ww pita with walnut butter and agave Then, an apple for … Continue reading »
Blueberry ‘Stache
I started this morning with the best green monster I’ve ever had. I just keep adding liquid or fruit until I get the consistency that I like. This was so dang good and it kept me full for FIVE hours. That never happens, folks. Vanilla soy milk Frozen raspberries Frozen banana Vanilla protein powder Lotsa … Continue reading »
Again, please.
I wish I could have this type of day every day. It may lose its appeal after some time, but it was just right for today. Breakfast was so leisurely, it felt indulgent. Good thing I’m still on vacation. I used my new stovetop espresso maker to create a semi-latte. And what I mean by … Continue reading »
Love, Hate.
I woke up this morning and realized I didn’t have pins for my race number, so I had to go the grocery store at 5am. I told you I wasn’t prepared for this race. WHY I LOVE RUNNING… However, despite that, I really enjoyed the race. After the 1st mile, I forgot about the pain … Continue reading »
Banana Overload
I had a question last week about what I eat before runs. Usually, I like to go on an empty stomach. I have a pretty finicky tum, and most things don’t sit will when I am movin’ and groovin’ (as evidenced by last week’s run). Two things that are usually “safe” for me to consume … Continue reading »
Staples and Thumbs
So, the post-work run was about 10x harder than the 5am run. I think it’s just my body’s natural clock. It likes mornings better. However, when I came home to clock my total miles, I realized that my loop was actually 4.5 miles – which makes my total for today around 9 miles. Not bad … Continue reading »
The Perfect 10
I woke up with some running anxiety this morning, so after a quick breakfast (¼ cup pumpkin granola and vanilla soy milk) I was out the door to pound it out on the pavement. I had a 10 miler scheduled for today, and the weather was cloudy and cooperative the whole time. I actually had … Continue reading »
Dessert for Breakfast
I did an arduous 4.5 miles this morning with Punky in tow. Why is it that the medium distance runs are sometimes so much harder than the long ones? Oh well, it’s finished with – I don’t have to think about it for the rest of the day. The open can of pumpkin in my … Continue reading »
