The BF asked me to marry him on Sunday night!!! Â Yes, folks I managed to sucker some poor guy into thinking I am a catch. Kidding! I am really lucky. I managed to find a lumberjack/engineer with good taste in rings and a heart for loving me :) So that is why I have been avoiding you the last 2 ... Read More about So, this is the big news…

I'm avoiding you…
So, I am kinda avoiding my blog because I have a big announcement to make and I can't actually make it until I tell my fam/friends that read this thing. I don't want them to find out via blog. I am so bad with keeping surprises, so I feel that if I post something I'll just write my announcement. I ... Read More about I'm avoiding you…
Run 1/12/2009
Still weird to write 2009 for me, I am living in the past people. Today I did 4 miles on my own and walk/ran 2 with the BF. He wanted to run this morning, which doesn't happen often, so I welcomed it. I don't know how much I was actually supposed to do per my marathon training plan since I am so ...

Rest Day 1/11/2009
Finally! I made it to yoga today! I was very unhappy (that's putting it mildly) when I did not make it to yoga after driving an hour and a half after work on Friday. Since today is a rest day I made a point to make it to yoga. It was just what I needed. ... Read More about Rest Day 1/11/2009
Eat 1/10/2009
After the HUGE jambyjuice I had some cereal with some Kashi trail mix and other goodies mixed in :) Lunch was random things like chips with hummus and bread with melted cheese. The big plans for the evening were a comedy show and dinner with the BF. I love fancy dates like this every now and then. ... Read More about Eat 1/10/2009
3 Hour Tour…
So today was my last long run before my full marathon. The pressure was really on since it was my last chance to get in a long run before I have to taper back. I was nervous that I was going to have a bad run and really "psych myself out". So much of running a marathon is psychological - well not so ... Read More about 3 Hour Tour…
No Run 1/9/2009
Morning Everyone :) Today is a rest day so I just took a short walk with the perros. I wanted to do more, but I had to be at work earlier than usual so I didn't have time. I am planning to take a walk with the BF after work or go to yoga. I have so much to do today and this weekend! Today - I ... Read More about No Run 1/9/2009
Eat 1/9/2009
Word up :) I was craving a smoothie for breakfast this morning. It's kind of random because it's still so cold out here. I also had a piece of toast with pumpkin butter and half a Larabar.Since I missed oatmeal for breakfast I had super deluxe oats for lunch. They had oats, PB, raisins, Fiber One, ...

Vegan/Vegetarian Update – Not found
So, I didn't find the article my friend was referring to, but I did find this old article : Vegetarian diet leads to weightloss I also found other articles that said that vegans seem to have a slightly higher metabolic rate than non-vegans (it doesn't say how slightly). There is a lot of ... Read More about Vegan/Vegetarian Update – Not found
Run 1/8/2008
Hola Ladies and Gents, I did 7.5 miles today - this distance seems to be my fave "longer" mid-week run. The plan for tomorrow is a rest day so I can be nice and ready for a long run on Saturday. I need to figure out some kind of crosstraining for Friday so I don't get too jumpy. My legs were ... Read More about Run 1/8/2008
Question – Vegan/Vegetarian News?
I was talking about The China Study to a friend and she mentioned that she heard something on MSNBC (she thinks) recently about how a vegan diet helps you lose weight. Did anyone else see this story? I am just curious about it because she said it was very interesting and I can't find it online. ... Read More about Question – Vegan/Vegetarian News?
Run 1/7/2009
I couldn't decide if I wanted to run today or use it as a crosstraining day, but since I wasn't sure if I could make it to yoga I ran 3.5 miles. I plan on walking the perros later and searching for a nearby yoga class. I am pretty new to yoga and have attended a few classes at a studio I love near ... Read More about Run 1/7/2009

This was the only fruit in the house!I had no bread for lunch - do you see a reoccurring theme here? I need to go to grocery shopping! ... Read More about
Run 1/6/2009
As I mentioned previously my Florida trip got my Marathon Training off track. I have missed my key long run - the 20 miler! 20 miles is the longest distance I will be running before the full Mary. I reviewed a lot of training programs and most beginner marathon training plans require just 1 or 2 ... Read More about Run 1/6/2009
Run 1/5/2009
I have no idea how much I ran today because I don't have a course mapped out and I didn't have my Garmin this morning. So, I ran aimlessly for about an hour or a little less and went home. I don't know if I mentioned it, but with the whole airport debacle yesterday our bags didn't get on the same ... Read More about Run 1/5/2009
New Header
Have you noticed my new and improved header? It was made courtesy of Mara at I Made Dinner. When I saw it I literally jumped up and down with excitement because it is exactly the idea I was going for - she really read my mind! I like jumping up and down when I get excited, it makes me feel like a ...
