Today I had a boxed lunch. Luckily, it was boxed by me so it was exactly what I wanted 🙂 A tuna wrap, carrots and grapes. I also ate the apple of course. Jealous Much? My friend Rondell has a production company in California (how LA, right?). Meb aka “the best US male marathoner/NYC marathon winner” came to his studio…

Gear: Target Running Pants
This morning I took my new Target running pants for a test “run” – ha, get it? I am in serious need of cold weather gear since I never ran with capris or tights in California. I loved them! They were a little thicker than my other tights I got from a dept store (JC Penney?) and I like that…

Mint Chocolate Chip Yogurt
I found this yogurt at the store on Friday – Breyer’s Mint Chocolate Chip, and had to try it. I love mint & chip ice cream and hoped this would be as tasty. I knew it would be a reach, but I thought I’d take a shot. It was okay. It tastes a little artificial, and it’s not ice cream,…

Back to school
For the last year I have been considering going to grad school to further my career, I even took the GRE and filled out some applications. But after much thought I have decided to take some classes at a local community college to get more web knowledge – which is what I want more than anything right now. I’m back…

While we were waiting for a table a hostess brought us warm apple cider to enjoy. Love small touches like this! And it was cold…

18 miles and counting
I like to think of my miles as my children, so today you can call me Mrs.Duggar because I busted out 18 miles. While I know running is nothing like childbirth, I can’t help but get delirious around mile 14 and think up weird posts like this. I also enjoy finding ways to reference my vagina in my posts (see…

She’s back
Today is a rest day from running so I decided to bust out a DVD – Jillian’s 30 Day Shred. Yep, she’s back! I did levels 1 & 2. I forgot how hard it was! I think I am going to do the 30 day Challenge a try and do it 3 times a week for the next 30 days….

A whole new level
Since I have a deep and passionate love affair with chickpeas I knew I had to try peasandthankyou‘s recipe for Pumpkin Spice Roasted Chickpeas after seeing it on Kath’s blog recently. This was perfect because I had a baggie of frozen chickpeas leftover from the last Costco can of them I bought! Roasting chickpeas until they are crunchy brings my…

What the fox?
I saw a fox on my run this morning! It startled me and I didn’t know if I should keep running or turn back. I kept running a bit and it seemed to walk away, but then it turned back and looked at me like it wasn’t going to run away. Then, I remembered this story that I read about…
