Ben is very well aware of Michael Pollan’s amazing quote: “Eat food, not too much, mostly plants” He’s also been flipping through Pollan’s book Food Rules. But randomly as he was taking off his shirt to go to sleep last night he said: “Wear clothes, not too much, mostly pants.” Ha! ************************************************** We stayed up a little past our bed…

Track Time
Ben and I took a walk this afternoon. We found a high school track and thought about going for a 400m run 🙂 But I decided not to because my knee feels a little “annoyed” and I want to keep it happy! Don’t mind me, just wearing Ben’s sweatshirt looking like a tragedy… We are dorks 🙂 While I was…

Too Much Cinnamon
Usually I really pour cinnamon on my oats like it’s going out of style, but this morning I actually poured way too much 🙁 It didn’t taste too bad, but some bites were rather bitter. This morning I woke up and slammed a Green Monster so I’d have some fuel before going to the gym. I took a spinning class….

D.C. Zoo
Ben and I went to the D.C. Zoo today. It was such a beautiful day we wanted to do something out doors. The first we saw were the lions. I always love looking at the animals since I love all big ol’ fuzzy things, but then I feel bad that they are all caged up. Do they you visit animal…

S-t-r-e-t-c-h and Making Health the Goal
I rarely stretch, but my IT Band issues are making me realize that I should incorporate a good stretching program into my daily life (at least after running!). I found this video on Sparkpeople that shows some good stretches. The moves in this video are for the lower body – just where I need it. But, I think we all…

Two Weeks Notice
I have good news and bad news about my knee… The bad news is – my physical therapist is moving to Canada in two weeks!!! Boo. I really like her too 🙁 and I have only been working with her for two weeks so far. The good news is – both my PT and I are super motivated to get…

Frantic Friday
I woke up today feeling stressed out. I hate that! It’s because I have a lot of things to do today and they will bother me until I am done. I made breakfast before working out this morning. My body is “off” from the long day of traveling last night. I ended up eating an apple on the way home…

Be More Careful
Usually, RER is pretty light hearted, but I thought I’d use this post to talk about something very serious… Police found the body of a girl believed to be Chelsea King yesterday. She is the 17 year old who went on a run last week in the San Diego area and never came home. The suspect believed to be responsible…
