Brussel Sprouts are my favorite vegetable of the Fall and Winter. I am a HUGE SALAD girl during the warmer months, but when it comes to cooked veggies – brussels are the way to go. I roasted up a sheet pan of them and Ben and I ate them all with dinner. The sauce: 1 teaspoon each: soy sauce, rice…

Wake Up!
Today I went on a mission for energy beverages to give me a boost during my afternoon slump. I came back with two things – Zevia soda (which I’ve already tried) and Zenergize. Both are sweetened with Stevia 🙂 Zenergize are drink tablets with B vitamins, anti-oxidants, ginseng and caffeine. I haven’t tried them yet, but I’m excited to see…

Off Schedule
My schedule is “off” lately because I’ve been getting up later, running later and eating breakfast super late! This means I am super empty for a big breakfast and throw off the rest of the day’s eats. Before I left for my run this morning I had a small bowl of Clifford Crunch because it was on sale I want…

Stink No More!
Remember when I was all excited about my new running shoes? Well, after running in them a few times I’ve decided they didn’t offer enough support so I took them back today. I traded them in for a pair of old faithfuls, Adidas Supernova… The salesman mentioned that I get 25% off of everything today (and today was the last…

Own worst critic

20 mile break down
I kinda wished I could have titled this post “20 mile Break Dance” and tell you how I did crazy break dancing moves on my run today and got the cars passing by to honk. But, that would be a lie. After Panera Bena nd I hit up Costco for samples, I mean groceries. When we got home I had…

Twenty is More Than Plenty
I did it, I completed 20 miles today. BUT – I walked a lot in the last 5 miles or so. I basically walked all hills and at that point I didn’t care. Well, actually I did care when I would see other runners coming towards me. I wanted to say, “I’ve already ran 15 miles, and I have 5…

Coffee and a Run
Good Morning! This long holiday weekend was great 🙂 But, now my family is back in California and I must get back on track with training and healthy eating. I am off for a run. Let me be more specific — I am off for a l-o-n-g run. This is the part of marathon training I don’t like. Once my…

Thanksgiving ’09
I started the day with a 6 miler. My legs are tired from running four days in a row, but I wanted to get in some good mileage before all the eats! Breakfast was oat bran. I needed something warm after a cold run! I made the whole Thanksgiving spread with the help of my mom. This was our first…
