Instead of sleep walking I was "Sleep Running" this morning. So. Tired. I have been wanting oatmeal, but kinda picked the wrong day to make it since I am super hot now. It's finally getting hot here and it was super humid this morning. It might be overnight oats (which I just kinda like) or cold ... Read More about Sleep running

Lick the pan
I made a great peanut sauce today and basically licked the pan clean. Note to self: Make sure the pan is no longer hot before you lick it! Dinner was ww Noodles and broccoli in this delicious sauce. I ended up topping it with a bunch of Sriracha. My mouth was burning, but it was AMAZING!!! *I ... Read More about Lick the pan
Knotty by nature
I don't know if it's the humidity or what but my hair has been getting ridiculously knotted on my runs :( This Saturday it was REALLY BAD and I ripped a bunch of my hair while trying to get the knots out. IÂ was so frustrated! I braid my hair in a pony tail to prevent knots, but that isn't even ... Read More about Knotty by nature

Here is my stock tip for you today: Buy stock in garbanzos beans. I just realized that they amazing straight up for a snack. I was eating them out of a tupperware yesterday and thought I would bring them to work today as a snackie. Best decision I made today. Do it. I sprinkled some season salt ...

Four Fast
Finally I had a good run! It's been a long time since I've had a good run and I've been getting very discouraged. I only did 4 miles today, but they were speedy (for me) and I felt good :) I had a bowl of Kashi GL Crunch and Flax Plus topped with raisins and almond milk. From past experience I know ...

Gathering sticks
I feel guilty that I sometimes think I need certain material things. I think it's ridiculous that Target has so much crap and we are almost trained to want this stuff! That being said, I went to Target today to get some stuff for the apartment. As I was driving home (feeling guilty) I realized in my ... Read More about Gathering sticks
Leave it to IHOP
Sorry I didn't post last night...we got home at 1:30am and didn't get to bed until after 2! Then, we had to wake up early to unload the truck and get it back to the rental place. Oh, and the trip all the way to NJ was kind of a bust because the fam had recently had a yard sale and sold most of their ... Read More about Leave it to IHOP
Where am I?
I love exploring new areas on foot, but it does get kinda frustrating during a long run when I hit a dead-end in the path and have to turn around and find another route - over and over! I am happy to report that it is pretty cool for July (maybe it's always like this in July and I'm used to CA?) and ... Read More about Where am I?
A new runner?
I needed to go to a running store for fuel belt replacement water bottles and ended up at Roadrunner. Anytime I go into a running shoe store I check out any clearance items they have in case they are selling something cheap in my shoe/size. Luckily (?) I have massive feet and often score!!! I got ...

Start you watch
Apparently pressing "Start" is a little too much for me to remember and I was half way through my run before I realized I never started my Garmin. Oh well, I was there, I know it happened :) I am having trouble uploading pics, so I thought I would treat you to bore you with a pic of the people and ... Read More about Start you watch

My lunch was AB&J on a sandwich thin...I have a lot of these remember? Oh yeah, if you read the ... Read More about Business Casual…
Sunken Treasure
Rest Day from running meant a visit to the apartment's gym today. It's pretty small, but it was completely empty, which is nice. This was my first visit so I wasn't sure what to expect. It has 2 ellipticals, 2 treadmills, 1 recumbent bike and some weight machines. I stuck to the elliptical for ... Read More about Sunken Treasure
Walking distance
I think anything is walking distance if you have enough time. This drives Ben crazy because on the weekends I will suggest we walk places and realistically that means it would take the entire day so we don't. Boo. I walked home from work today which is about 3 miles. It seemed like a good idea ... Read More about Walking distance
Fork it
Rachel Ray says you should separate english muffins with a fork. And since she is so likeable :) I choose to follow her advice. I made a smoothie and english muffin breakfast. I bought a huge batch of naners from Costco this weekend and didn't realize that even though they are still green (!) they ... Read More about Fork it
