Rise and shine! It’s coffee time. I wasn’t as sore today as I thought I’d be…in fact, aside from my hammies and glutes I was feeling pretty great. I still decided to milk it (why not), so I scheduled a post-race massage for this evening. I broke the fast with a peach chobz, an apple, and dried pineapple rings while watching last night’s Brothers & Sisters and reading blogs. I loved reading all your supportive comments regarding my race (and my struggle to push through the pain). It meant a lot to me… Read more >

Sunday may as well have been re-named half marathon day. It’s all I’ve been thinking about for the past month. I could hardly sleep last night my nerves were going berserk. Even though I consider myself a runner, and I exercise regularly, training for a concrete event (13+ miles no less) is very different than simply running to get your endorphins flowing. The longest organized race I’ve ever participated in was a 10K, which I really really enjoyed. So I figured it was time to step up to the plate. Half marathon, here I come…. Read more >

Of torture!!!! But I am proud to say I completed my first half marathon (!!)…and I’m still alive to tell you all about it!! My final time (according to my iPod stopwatch) was 1:43:27 Not too bad considering my goal was to finish not come in last. I actually kinda kicked some ass.

Sometimes I’m a walking contradiction. Case in point: nuts are not my thing, nut butters on the other hand, are TOTALLY my thing. I am not very vocal about my distaste for nuts, because, well, frankly, it’s a bit embarrassing in this food blog community. But today, I broke out of my shell (pun intended) and had my first nut milk experience. **A HUGE thanks to everyone who commented with recommendations on my previous post about non-milk milks.** As for the almond milk…It was…interesting? I can’t even think of any way to describe it. Definitely… Read more >

Shocker of all shockers…I actually had work today, I know, I know, you all forgot I even HAD a job because I’ve had so many consecutive days off… Naturally I packed all my goodies the night before in my re-re-recycled containers (once a hippie, always a hippie). But wait, let’s rewind to the day before (aka prepping). Since we have been in our brand new apartment with it’s brand new kitchen appliances for over a week, I felt the time had come to pop our oven’s cherry. Long overdue. Plus, I was feeling creative…and we… Read more >
