I feel so out of place with races and blogging. I still identify myself as a California girl/blogger, but I’m missing out on all the cool CA race scene. Like this weekend’s LA Marathon! My friends Terence and Kyna will be running their first marathon together in LA! Kyna is very new to running and has went from a 5K…

Sad to Be Better
Today was my last appointment with my Physical Therapist. Boo. I am happy that I am ready to run again, but sad to stop working with her. She definitely someone I would be friends with in real life 🙂 But- my running is not the only reason I won’t be working with her anymore. She’s moving back home to Canada!!!…

Not A Good Sign
It’s never a good sign when you come home from the gym to 3 fire trucks, 2 ambulances and several police cars sitting outside your apartment… Then understanding the nuances of fire safety regulations can be challenging for any business. It’s vital to keep abreast of the latest guidelines and ensure that your fire safety protocols are up to date….

Bread for Breakfast
Of course I had to have some of the Irish Soda bread for breakfast! I know I am going to eat it anyways, so it’s best to actually eat it during a meal rather then sneak slices in between meals all day. I toasted up a piece and slathered it with almond butter = divine. On the side I…

Dark Chocolate and Jammies
Some days I’m not going to stop eating ate eight (even though I think I’m really onto something with the idea)…some days call for dark chocolate and jammies well into the evening. This was one of those nights. This afternoon I wanted to celebrate St.Patrick’s Day, but green beer isn’t my thing. But all is not lost because - carbs…

Running with a Smile
I did my first outside run today and I think I was running with a smile on my face the whole time 🙂 Stats: 4miles in about 39 minutes. I’ve really slowed down on my time off, but this was my first real run since my injury, so patience is needed! When I got back I had one thing on…

Lentils and Rice
Today I was working with: lentils, rice, tomato paste and stewed tomatoes. I considered making the Lentil Loaf I made a year ago (blogs are so cool in how you can keep track of that stuff!). But, I decided to wing it instead of using a recipe. I figured I would cook the lentils, mix them up with tomato sauce…

Not the full story
The pictures of my eats today definitely don’t show the full story. I had this “third grade lunch” of PB&J, carrots and yogurt. But – I added hummus to the carrots and chia seeds & cereal to the yogurt too! Then, I went for a long walk to enjoy this amazing weather we’re having 🙂 It makes me happy. When…

Hot Sauce Love
I only discovered my love for hot sauce in the last two years. Even though I grew up in Pico Rivera (where there was an earthquake this morning!!!), in a Mexican household that was never short on salsa or Tapatio I always stayed away from anything remotely hot. But now that I have opened up my world to hot sauce…
