It was sprinkling this morning, but just barely so I decided to go for it and run. Well, of course it started to rain harder while I was out, but I was already wet so I did 5 miles and went home. I am not used to this much rain. What is the deal? According to weather.com it's going to run Christmas ... Read More about Run 12/22/2008

No run 12/21/2008
Since it was a rest day I started the morning with a 40 minute walk with the dogs. I ended up taking another walk in the afternoon when I got home from errands. I love walks :) I just wish there was a yoga studio near my home - I would be all over that if there was! ... Read More about No run 12/21/2008

I have been craving pancakes for a couple of weeks and finally had the time to make them Sunday morning. I made them with oat bran, a little ww flour, egg whites and almond milk. Maple syrup and a naner on the side. I was out running errands until 4pm! I ate an apple on the road and some grapes (no ... Read More about Eat 12/21/2008
Run 12/20/2008
Before my run this morning I wasn't really hungry, but thought I should at least eat some toast with PB. I usually don't eat before a short run so my body isn't that used to it. My run today was supposed to be 19 miles. It was super cold which is good running weather, especially for a long run! I ... Read More about Run 12/20/2008
Eat Part I 12/20/2008
Surprisingly, after running for over 3 hours I was not hungry at all. My stomach even felt a little upset, but I didn't eat anything during my run and only had a piece of toast before so I knew I had to eat something. I don't have any fruit at home so I stopped at TJ's for some blackberries, ... Read More about Eat Part I 12/20/2008

I was working from home and got hungry around 10:30am, I figured a snack wouldn't be bad because I was going to yoga at noon and would have a late lunch. So, I had some almonds because they were right in front of me.Then I got some pretzels with nutella...and 2 crackers with a piece of provolone ... Read More about Eat 12/19/2008

How, despite the fact that I have a super obsessive blog where I talk about everything I eat, am I still gaining weight? Natalie Dee does not have the answers, but she does make me laugh... ... Read More about Natalie Dee "gets" me

No Run 12/19/2008
Today is a rest day - I am planning on going to yoga on my lunch with my new mat!!! Woo-woo. I used to just use the mats the studio has there, but I don't really like to. If I have to smell anyone's feet during yoga it should be my own.I have been dying to go to yoga for a month now and just haven't ... Read More about No Run 12/19/2008

I am blogging on the BF's computer today and for some reason it is being weird with me, so I apologize if this post looks jacked up. I started my day with my fave oatmeal. Lunch was PB&J on flax bread - this bread is super healthy in terms of nutritional info, but it is also super dry. I don't ... Read More about Eat 12/18/2008

Thanks to everyone who commented on my jacked up foot tendonitis. Since I don't really have a running partner I have to blog it up to see if anyone has had a similar experience. Today I did 7.5 miles and the foot felt fine (say that 3 times fast). Good deal. We'll see how it holds up on a long run ... Read More about Run 12/18/2008

No run, I decided to do a spinning class today and give my foot another day off. Mother Nature was in agreement with this decision as it's pouring again here! It never rains this much. Is this an El Nino year or something? I am hoping to take a walk later as spinning does not get all my energy and ... Read More about Run 12/17/2008

Hungry Girl Bananas VitaPack
Hungry Girl and VitaTop get together a couple of times a year and offer a deal on a special package of VitaTops. Often this deal includes free shipping. I think free shipping is the biggest selling point since shipping costs around $14.00 from them! I think that is outrageous and only buy VitaTops ... Read More about Hungry Girl Bananas VitaPack
Foot pain update
I went to the podiatrist this morning, because despite running this morning I DO NOT want to run on an injured foot if I should be staying off of it. I needed to know what is wrong with my pata and how I can fix it. The verdict, is just as I suspected: tendonitis. That is actually good news, since ... Read More about Foot pain update
