I did 5 miles today. I couldn't decide if I should do 4 or 5 the entire time I was running since I want to do a good run tomorrow and don't want my legs to be too tired. When my Garmin hit 4 I felt good and decided to just keep going. I am not sure how many I am doing tomorrow. I know there will be ... Read More about Run 11/26/2008

Eagle Castle Winery
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 :)

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

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…

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...
