We went to Eagle Castle Winery for lunch, oh yeah and wine tasting of course! This winery is designed like a Medieval Castle. It is decorated full of period pieces that give it a very old feel even though it's relatively new. This winery was founded by a couple who love castles and have traveled ...

Starbucks Oatmeal Review
Normally when I am on a trip I pack breakfast foods since I am a cereal or oatmeal girl not really eggs or restaurant breakfasts. When I pack oatmeal I make hot water with the coffee maker and mix it with oatmeal packets. When I pack cereal I buy a non-fat milk from Starbucks (or wherever) and ...

Happy Monday :)
Happy Monday! It's a short week - working Monday through Wednesday then off for the holiday! I love Thanksgiving! I think it might be my favorite holiday, or really it's tied with Christmas. It's one of the few days a year that I enjoy an indulgent meal guilt free. Guilt free is the key term here, ... Read More about Happy Monday :)

Eat 11/22/2008
I had the BIGGEST bowl of cereal for breakfast after my run. Then, I added more. It was good :) It made me happy. I am simple like that. For the drive up to Paso Robles I packed some snacks: grapes, pineapple, apples, a huge sourdough bagette, crackers and goat cheese. I thought all that stuff went ... Read More about Eat 11/22/2008
No Run 11/23/2008
Rest day -No run today. I dragged Cindy out on a walk, but it was pretty short because she got tired. She needs to get it together! "Cindy, get it together." Cindy is my BFF since 1st grade. She came with me to Paso Robles because the BF had to bow out last minute because of school stuff. I lover ... Read More about No Run 11/23/2008
RUN!!! 11/22/2008
15.75 miles (I walked the .25 as a cool down, so I won't call if 16). My legs feel tired and sore now. In better news...I am leaving for Paso Robles right now! So, I have to go, but I will be back later tonight with the fun details :) I think after all that running I deserve some wine tastings! ... Read More about RUN!!! 11/22/2008
Run 11/21/2008
No run today since I have a long run tomorrow. I did 8 minute abs and then walked 4.26 miles around the neighborhood. It was pretty relaxing. I love walking, it's my meditation :) ... Read More about Run 11/21/2008
Denny…
Do any of you watch Grey's Anatomy? I don't get it. I love Denny, I do. But, it just makes me sad when he comes back. I know he can't stay and he's still dead. It's just sad :( I am torn - I like seeing him, but I just remember how tragic it was when he died. Boo. ... Read More about Denny…
Eat 11/20/2008
I wanted something a little different in my oatmeal this morning so I added half a Quaker delights bar. I used the banana coconut one and it was so good!I was hungry around 11 for lunch and tried to hold out as long as I could. I ended up eating half of my PB&J at 11:30 and half around 12:30p ...

Steak Din-ah!
My friend Adriel used to have neighbors that would walk around their apartment yelling, "Steak Din-ah!!!" I thought that was so funny that I still say it. Ha. Anyways, Why do people love steak dinners so much? Because it's fancy or something? Well, I'm not having steak but I am having my favorite ... Read More about Steak Din-ah!
Run 11/20/2008
7 miles with my new Garmin :) It was fun to run aimlessly without knowing when I would turn back! Now, I just need to figure out what the heck else this contraption does... One of my co-workers had a funny comment when I first bought the Garmin during my lunch Monday and brought it back into the ... Read More about Run 11/20/2008
Eat Part II 11/19/2008
After a very snacky lunch (I took no pics) I was hungry for a snack around 3:30pm. I thought it would be a great idea to make a pumpkin shake so I started with pumpkin as a base and proceeded to add everything in my freakin' freezer to make it taste good. I didn't have my go-to ingredients for a ... Read More about Eat Part II 11/19/2008
Foreman Update
I forgot to mention the deal I got on my new toy. Costco sent out a booklet of coupons a week or two back and I saw a coupon for $40.00 off the Garmin Forerunner 305. The coupon became effective Nov.17th and is valid for about 2 weeks (sorry I don't have the book with me for the exact date, but I ... Read More about Foreman Update
Eat Part I 11/19/2008
I had a handful of shredded wheat before I went on my run. When I got back I couldn't decide between oats or cold cereal (it's still warm here) and finally decided oats because the naners were so ripe. But, I still ended up eating some cereal while I was cooking, I guess I wanted that more - I ... Read More about Eat Part I 11/19/2008
Run 11/19/2008
This morning I ran with my new running partner - my Garmin Forerunner 305!!! This is what I bought yesterday at Costco (the present to myself for the GRE pain I put myself through). I had just got it yesterday and only took it out of the box for a minute at work so my co-workers could make fun of me ... Read More about Run 11/19/2008
