Run Eat Repeat

Today I didn’t get drenched from my own sweaty run. No, I got drenched by God. My marathon training program has Wednesdays as rest days, so I was going to take a stroll and give my mom a call. Well, 1/2 mile away from my apartment it starts to POUR out of nowhere. And I mean POUR! I was immediately…

Warning: This post contains the worst news you are going to hear today. (Unless you found out your dog died, in which case I am very sorry and this joke isn’t funny.) Anyways, I went to TJ’s again today looking for my beloved almond butter. It was still MIA. I asked and was told TJ’s Almond Butter with flax seeds…

When I went to Ben’s annual college reunions a few weekends back I made the mistake of bringing “cute” shoes instead of comfy ones. I didn’t realize there was so much walking involved and ended up getting blisters on my toes 🙁 I was dying to get my shoes off, but could not find a place to buy some cheap…

Tonight we held the final meeting of the Chickpea Lovers Club 🙁 As you may know, Rose (the only other member of CLC) is moving to Pennsylvania and I am moving to California. For a short time we were in the same state with the same passion for chickpeas, but unfortunately this time has come to an end. I am…

When I went to the New Harvest conference a few weekends ago they gave us a kit to test the Omega-3 levels in our blood. Then, after 30 days of taking New Harvest we can test it again and see if and/or how it’s changed. I haven’t had time to stab myself until today and thought I’d share the experience…

I conveniently “forgot” to take pictures of the bowl of cereal and granola bar I had today – hence the name of this post to remind me. I’m still within a good range of cals, so I’m not mad at me. Other eats are documented with pictures and not clever commentary because it’s Sunday and I’m taking this day off…

I’ve decided to start my training a little early since I will be traveling a bit over the next few months and will miss out on some key runs. Hopefully a head start will relieve some of the marathon training stress! I will be okay with missing some runs or making them up at another time so I can focus…

Since I have 5 pounds of chickpeas to eat before they go bad, I knew roasted chickpeas were in order. They work as a snack or part of a meal 🙂 When I’ve roasted chickpeas in the past I make a sauce for them, but I wasn’t in the mood for that. Instead I made a “Hummustard Sauce”. I mixed…

Six miles used to be my favorite distance (it technically still is for mid-week runs) but I’ve been happily running nine miles the last few weekends.  I think nine miles is my favorite long distance weekend run. Before I left I had a piece of toast with PB, banana and jelly. Oh, and a lot of water. When I got…
