I must have come from some kind of nomadic tribe because I cannot stop walking. Even though I ran this morning all I wanted to do when I got home from work was take a long walk. I think part of it clears my mind and I’m pretty stressed with wedding/life/work/etc right now, so it helps 🙂 I managed to…

Stop "bodering" me & my Irish identity
My stomach hurt when I woke up this morning 🙁 I tried to stall my run as much as I could, but I couldn’t wait any more so I took off for an easy and slow 6 miles. Today was going to be a few 800m repeats, but there is no way my stomach was going to let me push…

What'd you call me?
Dinner was Whore’s Plate. I don’t know if that’s really what it’s called, but my Cuban friend, Adriel, told me this. A while back I made this dish and he said that his grandma called it a “Whore’s Plate” in Spanish. It’s just rice with a fried egg on top – nothing fancy. He says they called it that because…

Tap N' Apple Lunch
Instead of PB&J I made a PB& Tap n’ Apple sandwich for lunch. Have you tried this stuff? It is just apples & apple cider mashed together. It’s not as sweet as my usual – pumpkin butter though. It tastes like apple sauce actually. Before the sammie I started with a salad with TJ’s spicy peanut dressing – this is…

Soup, salad and challah
We had a very productive afternoon that included wedding errands. We picked out Ben’s tux and the groomsmen tuxes too! Sometimes this wedding stuff is fun 🙂 Ben had to use a pair of “manny-hose” to try on the shoes! Ha. After tux picking and a trip to Michael’s Craft store we took a walk. I love that he is…

Lunch Repeat
Sundays are a rest day, but I did make it to yoga!!! Yeah! I bought a package of classes from the Yoga studio I go to and I have to use all of them by April 10th. I do not have enough time since I’m not in this neighborhood that often. I am going to make it a point to get…

Lunch was egg white salad from TJ’s an amazing salad topped with hummus and more hummus with chips. POM and seltzer for a beverage As we left for Matt’s basketball game I…

Running keeps you humble
Running keeps you humble. I was thinking about this today as I was out on a 16 miler that ended up being a 15.5 miler. (I had to talk myself into the last mile and a half too.) I have ran half marathons and recently a full marathon, I’ve been running for over 5 years, but every long run is…
