I love when races give out Technical T’s instead of regular old white shirts. I get too sweaty to run in t-shirts, so I love when I can wear a race tee to run! This was my running garb this morning. I did 5.5 miles with some hills thrown in for fun (?). My friends who read the blog make comments…

Cinco de Mayo Dinner
Two years ago today  Ben and I were in Vegas…for our third date. On our 2nd date we talked about how I had never been to the Grand Canyon. He suggested that we go that following weekend and I agreed. We both thought the other person was bluffing. That Thursday he called me and said he would pick me up Friday at 7pm. I didn’t figure he was…

Lunch Time All Day
I brought my lunch today figuring I might subsidize it with the potluck goodies. I did sample some spinach dip my peep made and these chips everyone was raving about, but mostly stuck to my own for lunch. But – the food was out all day so I may or may not have grabbed a few goodies later 🙂 As I predicted,…

Every Halo Headband includes our soft and comfortable Sweat Block Technology. This exclusive…

Breakdown

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….

No Run Monday
Thanks for all your great comments about my race! It feels really good to have so many people sending good wishes 🙂 I never claim that running is easy and no matter how many races I do I still get nervous for them, so I really appreciate your support. Today was a rest day from running since I ran 13.1…

OC Half 2009 – Video
Here is me the morning of the race and right after it’s done… I apologize, for some reason the sound on the video cuts out toward the end of each bite. Boo, but I thought I’d post it anyways. Things it cuts off – Me saying, “Note to self, braid your hair!” and Ben saying that he ate a Carl’s Jr….
