After a l-o-n-g day of travels I finally made it to Princeton! We stopped on the way from the airport at Panera. That made me happy :) After a tour of the campus at 11pm and a snack we went to bed around 2am. Then, I woke up at 6:30am to give myself a running tour of the area. Apparently my ...

Take a breath
I'm typing this post in the plane on the way to Atlanta for a layover before I finally make it to NJ. This morning was crazy, but that's pretty much the theme of my life right now. I tried to accomplish as much as I could before going out of town, but still wasn't able to do it all. As I was ... Read More about Take a breath
Observe and report
After a night that started out like this... I barely got any sleep last night! Beverages and dancing! Ben's away so I played with my friends! Oh, and some of this...

Reality Blogging
So many people say their life should be a reality show, but really I think mine should be one right now! There is so much craziness going on with my personal life, friends, fam, wedding, work and more. A lot of this stuff I can't even talk about because not everyone close to me even knows yet! But, ...

Matt meets the monster
I made Matt a Green Monster for breakfast this morning. He liked it, but didn't finish it, so I don't know if he was just being nice or the green color weirded him out.       After a 5 miler with hillsI wanted a smoothie and PB toast for breakfast too! I used a scoop of  Amazing Grass, ... Read More about Matt meets the monster

Whose opinion counts
No matter what other people tell me about my running, clothes, body, etc I have my own opinion on it. And their opinion will never be more important than mine. I appreciate feedback and other's thoughts, I often ask for opinions on certain things. But I never ask for opinions on my body. It doesn't ... Read More about Whose opinion counts
My body said what?
The second principle of Intuitive Eating is "Honor your Hunger". The book explains it as "keeping your body biologically fed". I have been trying to work on this one which is one of the reasons my eating was so random this weekend. But years of ignorning hunger signals because it's not "time to ...

Cutting a Watermelon
It's Sandia time! Here is a quick video on my watermelon cutting technique. I know it's not rocket science, but I think the way I do it is pretty simple and fast. Also, making the video prevented me from eating all of it as I cut, since I knew you'd be watching :) How to Cut a ... Read More about Cutting a Watermelon

Shop smart
This time I don't mean shop smarter price wise - I mean pick the best options for what you want to eat. This morning I wanted a traditional American breakfast with eggs, sausage and toast. I used these things - egg beaters, veggie sausage and Perfect 10 bagel. Swapping these choices for real eggs, ... Read More about Shop smart

It's very hard to get motivated for a long run when you're not actually training for a race! I am going to pick my next 2 races tonight so I have a Reason to Run!
