The best part of realizing my visor is now in a tragic state is also realizing that this justifies buying a new one at the expo this weekend! Honestly though I am very picky about visors, so I might have to hunt around for a while and keep this one as is. Oh well, this visor worked just fine on my ... Read More about The Best Part

Spoons
Morning! I considered waking up early for a gym class before school, but talked myself out of it because I felt so tired yesterday. I still woke up with enough time to do some Abs and light arm exercises though Then, it was time for a rushed breakfast. I got this bowl and spoon set from our ... Read More about Spoons
Tired All Day
I got 8+ hours of sleep last night, but was still tired all day I’m hoping it’s just because of “girl stuff” and not because I’m getting sick. I have big plans for this weekend (like, a little thing called a half marathon!) so I cannot get sick. All I know is I desperately wanted to fall ... Read More about Tired All Day
Mug of Love
I am cold, but cannot be stopped from making smoothies for breakfast! After an easy 6 miler this morning I tried to talk myself into different, warmer breakfast options. But, I reeeeally wanted a smoothie! So that was that. In the mix: ice, frozen spinach, protein powder, almond milk, chia ... Read More about Mug of Love
Try, Try Again
If at first you don’t succeed, try try again. Even when that comes to baking cookies where the first batch comes out super dry and flat. And even though recipe #2 isn’t perfect, the saying isn’t “Try, Try, Try Again” so I only get two tries Eggnog Cookies I had this amazing and possibly ... Read More about Try, Try Again
You Decide
Wearing my running clothes, but got side tracked with a genius baking idea… Procrastinating a run? Or Working hard for the blog? You Decide. On second thought, don’t… these cookies look a little flat… Darn it. ... Read More about You Decide
My Apologies
I’m sorry. I know there are only so many bowls of oats you can take before you start selecting “Mark All As Read” on your Google Reader. And only so many close ups of chia seeds too, I’m sorry. I know, I know, you get it – healthy people like tiny little $57.00 specs of pepper on any food they ... Read More about My Apologies
Eggnog Yogurt
I picked up another holiday flavor yogurt at Target the other day. This time it was Eggnog. I was super excited to get my first taste of ‘nog for the season, but it wasn’t very eggnoggy. I think the Low Fat version might be better since I’m used to thicker Greek yogurt now. Luckily, I got Ben one of ... Read More about Eggnog Yogurt
Despite the Cold
Despite the cold I still was craving a smoothie for breakfast. After 5.75 chilly miles outside you’d think I would want a warm bowl of oats, but nope – I wanted a green monster. I had a bagel thin with PB&PB on the side. After a year of being obsessed with Almond Butter I’m back on the PB ... Read More about Despite the Cold
Running In The Cold
If you are new to RER, let me fill you in on my life – Last year I moved to Maryland for a reporting job. I was born and raised in Southern California and my ancestors are Californios. The most important thing to note here is: I don’t like to be cold. Anyways, last year Maryland had a super cold, ... Read More about Running In The Cold
Vitalicious Breakfast Sandwich Review
It’s been forever since I’ve done a formal review! I don’t even remember the last one. Exciting. At least for me I heard about the new Vitalicious VitaSandwich on Twitter last week and was super excited. I LOVE Vitatops (maybe more than any other food now that I think about it) and was happy to ... Read More about Vitalicious Breakfast Sandwich Review
Food Hoarder
I am a food hoarder. But, I’m kinda bad at it because I was all out of bread this morning and had to walk to the store for some bagel thins. It was a craving that would not be stopped. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so give in to your breakie cravings, right? Plus it gave me the ... Read More about Food Hoarder
A Good Investment
Maybe some ‘real’ plates would be a good investment, so I don’t have to disgrace the blog (and my lunch) with paper. Or perhaps considering buying gold in Brisbane could be a more tangible investment choice. These paper plates might even save the skin on my hands, which is super dry from yesterday’s ...

Coming Home to Pancakes
Hi! I had a long run of 15 miles scheduled this morning, but decided to cut it to 14 because I didn’t bring enough fuel and decided it was for the best. I need to restock my Gu supply, because I do not like the chews I have. Before I left I fueled up with half a bagel w/ PB and coffee. It was cold ... Read More about Coming Home to Pancakes
Glutton for Punishment
I am a glutton for punishment. These just came out of the oven… But, before I went down that path, I had dinner. I made a salad with leftover kidney bean couscous and gorgonzola cheese. TJ’s has an amazing Raspberry Gorgonzola dressing that goes perfect with extra G cheese. Have some today. With ... Read More about Glutton for Punishment
Fall Cleaning
Forget Spring cleaning – I went into full on Fall cleaning mode today and could not be stopped! But before my cleaning escapade I had a massive smoothie in a bowl – ice, protein powder, frozen spinach, chia seeds and almond milk. This was another super thick one! One the side I had a piece of ... Read More about Fall Cleaning
