I casually mentioned that I was starting my new job today. I don’t really want to talk about it too much since I’m not sure if it’s cool with them for me to talk about, but I can tell you I’m working as an Office Administrator in Orange County very close to my soon to be new condo 🙂 The…

I Break for Cherries
One of the best parts of living around here is the random things you can buy on the street corners. I’ve gotten mangoes, oranges, flowers and more. Does this count as shopping local? It should. Today Ben and I scored a bunch of amazing cherries. They are super sweet and delicious! I break for cherries 🙂 I have been loving…

Crap Free Week Part II
I’ve done Crap Free Week in the past, so this is CFW Part II. The last few weeks have been crazy – I moved across the country again, moved back into my mom’s for a month and partook in lots of celebrations. I have been eating way too much processed food and sweets. I mean, after a day full of…

I hope this commercial worked as an effective diversion from my horrible eating. I let myself get too hungry and was starving by the time I got…

5K Friday!
Yesterday I read a suggestion for 5K Fridays on Twitter. At first I declined since I usually take Friday as a Rest Day. I mean, rest days are sacred in my book! But, last night when I was re-writing my training plan I realized I could fit it in, so I wrote it into my calendar. The original idea was…

Who Else Is Going To Tri?
I never posted again yesterday because I got caught up in errands and then spent too long re-writing my marathon training schedule so it would incorporate training for my first triathlon! Now that my new training program is settled I can blog and write and pick a winner. So, who’s the lucky person to join me in an upcoming Iron…

Dehydrated?
I don’t know if it was smog or dehydration or what, but I felt like lead stomach and legs today on my run. I was over a mile in and still couldn’t get into it, so I did 2 miles and took a walk break. Well, the walk break ended up lasting until I got home. So that’s what it…
