Today was an “optional” run day. I decided to go ahead and do a couple of miles because 2 rest days a week should be enough. I want to start going to the gym on my optional/rest days, but that takes a lot longer and I don’t really have time for that until after next Monday (I’ll explain later). Anyways,…

Tuesday started with oats, the usual…I was super bored while on a conference call (I hope my boss doesn’t read this!) and ate some uvasI went to the Farmer’s Market on my lunch for more green plums.

Glad I wasn't training for L.A.
The Los Angeles Marathon was changed from early March to Memorial Day weekend in May. It has been around the same time every year for the last 23 years and many people train accordingly. It is hard to be ready for a great marathon in March and keep that peak of fitness until May. It sounds like it’s really caused…

Eat part II 11/10/2008

I came home to find my free sample of Bear Naked granola I signed up for a while back. I love free stuff. I love granola. I…

I got one of each because the BF loves coconut (so that flavor is for him) and Matt (little bro) eats my granola bars too. So, I knew others would be…

El Cholo
The BF and I went to El Cholofor dinner. We actually first discovered this place at LAX (the L.A. airport). They have a small satellite restaurant that has an abbreviated menu. The signs all over El Cholo at the airport said they were votes to have best margaritas in L.A. so we tried before a flight last year. After that we went to one…

Run 11/8/2008
The training plan called for 14 miles today. That’s the farthest I have run in a year. I woke up early to beat the heat. It is still pretty hot here in the middle of the day, I think yesterday it was 80 or something. I wasn’t hungry when I woke up from all the junk I had last night…
