This morning my cat asked to go outside again. He must have read the weather report and saw that today will be another gorgeous day in Southern California :) I started my day with an easy 3 miler before my early class. I am determined to run across the Golden Gate bridge this weekend and want ... Read More about Gorgeous Day and Intuitive Eating takes work

Too Hot and Too Hilly
I really should have checked the weather report before I got dressed for my run this morning. Long sleeves were a bad call. Right Now Feels Like: 93° Run: I set off in my long sleeves for a tempo run. The goals was to do a 1 mile warm up and 1 mile cool down with 5 tempo miles in the ...

Happy Halloween!
Can you guess what I am? Let me give you a hint: the green ball shaped things on me have “girl” faces. Ben is quarantined. He says it’s the scariest costume you’ll see all night because you don’t know what he has. Question: What is my costume? ... Read More about Happy Halloween!
Los Olivos Wine Tour
Hello! I spent the day in Los Olivos with my friend Lisa. But, before I went I did a 10-ish mile run. I’m not sure how much because my Garmin stopped at mile 2. I reset it when I turned around, but I’m not sure the official distance. On the way to meet Lisa I stopped to get scones. Pumpkin Pecan ... Read More about Los Olivos Wine Tour
Flashback Friday – Halloween
My cat is still warming up to this place. But, I don’t think he’ll ever warm up to me sticking the camera in his face all the time. Too bad. Before I left for an afternoon class and errands I had a yogurt. I used to love these, but I don’t like them as much any more. I hit up Whole Foods for ...

Ready For Halloween?
Are you ready for Halloween? I’m not. I have no idea what I’m going to be or how much candy I’m going to eat. My little brother won a contest at school today for his costume – a Chilean Miner. I told him to tell the ladies, “I’d like to take you out for a drink. But I can’t, ‘cause I’m a miner.” ... Read More about Ready For Halloween?

Fall in Love
Since I was a little girl my mom told me I was an Autumn or Fall complexion. I learned I looked best in earthy tones. I was called a pumpkin head and carrot top. But, I surprisingly liked the names and embraced my key colors. I also embraced my dog a little too roughly, but that’s besides ... Read More about Fall in Love
Tofu Tuesday and Too Many Treats
I love leftovers! Today I used the leftover bean, bell pepper and onion mix I cooked for my Mexican Meatless quesadillas for lunch. I micro-waved a sweet potato and topped with it the black bean mix.
