It was raining AGAIN this morning when I woke up, but I was determined to not let that stop me. Actually by the time I went out to run it stopped and didn't start up again until I was less than a half mile from home :) I think people around my neighborhood think I'm crazy for running in the rain. ...

Candy is gone, but no pics to prove it.
It was pouring this morning, so I didn't run and went to the gym instead. I really don't like the gym so, you know it had to be raining pretty hard to get me there as a last resort. Then, on the way there I saw a guy running and I was sad :( He's way more hardcore than me! I ended up doing that step ... Read More about Candy is gone, but no pics to prove it.
The good, bad and ugly Weekend Eats
Sorry I have been MIA. I was in Big Bear, CA this weekend. We actually were going up to Big Bear (BB) on Friday night and had to turn around because there were car accidents and the traffic was delayed 4 hours! Boo. So, we went back home thinking the trip was cancelled until I called my mom on ... Read More about The good, bad and ugly Weekend Eats
Happy Valentine's Day!
So, the surprise for Ben was a singing telegram in the form of a Gorilla! Ha. I thought he would think it was hysterical, but he just ended up looking embarrassed and annoyed. Boo. I honestly thought he would be laughing and dancing around with him. Oh well, I tried. Now he says he is going to get ... Read More about Happy Valentine's Day!
New running Gear and Contests
My running shirts are disgusting. Seriously, how can I put this without grossing you out? I can't. For some reason the armpit area of my workout clothes always turn yellow. Apparently I have acid sweat. It's embarrassing. Also, sometimes in the summer I will Mystic Tan (in the spray booth) and I ... Read More about New running Gear and Contests

The Book of Ayurveda
I picked up this book on Sunday from a local yoga studio that I've been going to. I have heard a little bit about Ayurveda in the blog world and am curious to learn more. I found out my dosha type is Kapha. The book has a lot of great info and a big list of foods you are "Okay" to eat and foods you ... Read More about The Book of Ayurveda
It started out so well…
I started out my day with a very healthy and happy run and breakfast : Lunch was super good too. I discovered this lunch yesterday after a disappointing Lean Cuisine pizza lunch on Monday. I had a turkey sammie, apple, carrots and a Kashi bar. After this meal I am super satisfied. I calculated it ... Read More about It started out so well…
What's the point?
Now that my training is over for the full marathon I kind of feel like, "What's the point?" about my runs. I am not setting out on a run with a specific mileage goal. I'm basically just running to run. Most of the time that's okay, but it is hard to make myself run when it's so cold outside and I am ... Read More about What's the point?

I know everyone already knows about the massive PB recall that has been going on for months now, but in case you still are holding on to some recalled Kashi foodies, here is the info on their recalled products: • Kashi® TLC® Chewy Granola Bars in Trail ...

Brrrrrrr
It is cold today! I am wearing footless tights under my pants and 3 layers on top and I'm still cold! I started my little day with a tempo run for about 45 minutes and a 5 minute walk to cool down (not that I needed to get any cooler). Â Breakfast was my usual oats. I love this hot bowl of food ...

Eat II 2/9/2009
I had a Reese's chocolate heart as part of my afternoon snack. It doesn't look like a heart that much though, but it tasted good :) I was signing my name on my Valentine's for work so I couldn't help but have one :) Look at this big pile tempting me! I better give these away asap so I don't eat any ... Read More about Eat II 2/9/2009
Rainy Run
It has been raining forever here!!!! At least it feels like forever, it has actually rained every day since Thursday. That is crazy for California. Luckily God was nice to me and stopped the rain for a bit so I could run this morning. I did about 5.3 miles, it was misting rain for a bit, but nothing ... Read More about Rainy Run
Eat I 2/9/2009
Eating breakfast at home is so much better than eating in my car. I am normally in such a rush to get to work lately I've been eating oatmeal in the car - not enjoyable. Today I had enough time to eat like a civilized person at the table. This is my normal combo - oats, naner, almond milk, cinnamon, ... Read More about Eat I 2/9/2009
Eat II 2/8/2009
Around 4pm I got hungry for a snack. I couldn't decide between a Kashi bar since I wanted to try the pumpkin flavor or yogurt with goodies. I got around this by taking a bite of the Kashi bar and giving the rest to Ben :) and making yogurt for myself. W I hadn't given Ben a taste of my fabulous ... Read More about Eat II 2/8/2009
