It’s the El Nino! I can’t believe how much it has been raining in SoCal! Luckily the rain let up for a bit and my mom and I took the dogs for a walk. When we got back I made banana oatmeal and topped it with dried fruit and Smart Balance PB (which I do not think is good). The…

Roll With It
I got a foam roller!!! I haven’t used it yet, but I’m about to 🙂 I am full on going to have to take this as a third carry-on on the trip back to MD (I hope they don’t give me the business). I made a couscous salad to go with the guacamole (which I consider the main course!). It…

You Don’t Have to Run
The first thought that went through my head when I decided to take a week off of running was, “Oh no! I’m not going to be able to lose weight now!” But, I know that is not true. You don’t have to run to lose weight. I actually first started losing weight by walking. I took walks with my friend…

Two Miles
This morning’s run was a major fail. First, it started to sprinkle as soon as I was ready to leave and then my knee started to hurt around 1.35 miles and I stopped running at two miles. Boo. It pretty much stops hurting as soon as I stopped running so I walked home fine. The only reason I went on…

Nine and Nine in Nine

Night night
I don’t know how I am keeping my eyes open right now! Suddenly out of nowhere my long day caught up with me and I am exhausted. I am currently typing from 10,000 feet in the air on my way to the John Wayne airport. Usually I’ve been flying into LAX or Long Beach, so let’s hope my mom remembers…

Something to look forward to
Since I’ve decided to lay low on running a bit I need something to look forward to! I’ve been wasting a lot of time planning out my next races on Active.com. It is a great time killer, and helps me look forward to my 2010 Race Calendar 🙂 Lunch was my last meal at home before leaving for CA and…

Weird Waffle Wednesday
I knew I had Kashi waffles in the freezer that were on their last leg so I wanted to make them for Waffle Wednesday this morning. But, one waffle was a lot thicker and a little bigger around then the other! It resulted in one of them getting burnt in the toaster even though I cooked them for the same…
