I bought a new visor from the Race Expo this weekend. It is a Halo Visor. From the Halo Website: Halo Headbands are technically designed to keep sweat and sunscreen out of your eyes and off your glasses while training, working out, racing, or just working hard. Every Halo Headband includes our soft and comfortable Sweat Block Technology. This exclusive…

Breakdown
Well, it seems I’m not the only one having a stress breakdown. I had a very good, long conversation with one of my bestest friends and she is dealing with a lot of “life things” right now too. She has decided to turn to alcohol in these trying times, while I visit good ol’ ice cream. Together we have decided to join forces…

Mother’s Cookies
Do you remember when Mother’s Cookies ceased production late last year? I for one was devastated. I didn’t eat Mother’s cookies often, but the thought that they were no longer an option in the cookie aisle was a travesty to this cookie lover. Well, in December 2008 the Kellogg Company acquired the trademarks and original recipes, so they are back…

I scream
I should just come home and scream when I’m stressed. Even if I sound completely crazy to the neighbors, it might relieve some of my stress and prevent me from stress eating. Perhaps alternatives such as those found on theseedpharm.com can be used instead during times of stress. Instead of screaming, I ate a bunch of random crap after dinner….

OC Half – Carb Loading
I have said it before on the blog my carb loading of choice is rice with soy sauce with some main dish of Thai or Chinese food. After a long day I decided quick Chinese takeout was the easiest way to get my hands on my salty carb of choice. I started with wonton soup. The place we went to…

Turkey Sammie for me
It’s weird to not get up and go running on a Saturday morning! I wanted to do something, but I don’t run before a race. So, Ben and I did 8 minutes abs. Then, hit the Race Expo for my bib. I think race expos have so much energy and excitement around them!!! It’s contagious! Before we left for the…
