Good morning! The soreness continues. I think speedwork makes me more sore than lazily running long distances. Perhaps it's the insane pounding? For breakfast, I made Egg White French Toast Waffles and I dressed them up with blackberries, half a banana, and slice almonds. YUM! After lightly toasting two frozen waffles, I dredged them [...]

The Need for SPEED! Ok, I'm officially addicted to speedwork. My 5K made me want to push myself harder and harder and get faster and faster. Of course, I still love long distances, but with my knees being the way they are, my new passion for short and fast is probably a VERY good [...]
I have developed a serious obsession with Weather.com. Yes, I know 10-day forecasts are BS. I also know we're 18 days away from W-Day. BUT, I cannot help but check the forecast obsessively. Pray for warmth! It looks like a cold spell is coming in at Christmas, so maybe a warm spell will be [...]
Morning! WOWZA. I am SORE from yesterday's 5K race. Not Half Marathon-sore, but tons worse than any of the 10Ks or 15Ks I've done recently. Do you think it could be speed-related? The back of my thighs are on FIRE!!! Today is my last Monday at work before the wedding. Yes -- in total, [...]
After my 5K, I took a nap, showered, and had a Clif Bar. Meghann gave me this today and I was very anxious to taste the elusive Holiday Clif bars! Verdict -- it was OK. Not amazing like a Spooky Smore Z-Bar or anything, but still very good. Then, we went to the mall [...]
I came, I ran, I WON! That's right! I WON my first race (well, I won the female division of a 80-person race, but I don't like to minimize accomplishments, so WHATEVER!). I felt sooo horrible last night (killer headache), and I wasn't sure I would be up to racing today. I decided I [...]
I am laying on the couch, very sick. I must be running a fever that makes me agree to pretty much anything, because I just gave Future Husband verbal clearance to buy a 60-something inch flat screen TV. Oh my. I really, really hope he doesn't come home with a ginormous box. [...]
Hey guys! I've felt better, so I'm going to take a blogging break. See you tomorrow for a 10K race recap. Love, Caitlin
Evening! Thank GOD it's Friday.... only 5 days of work before I'm freeeeeeeeeee on a glorious month- long vacation! My mid-afternoon snacks consisted of.... Yogurt and Grape Nuts... and... another Z-bar (two in one day)! And some cereal (honey bunches of oats)... I filled out insurance forms and marked "Single" for the last [...]
Does the post title remind you of TLC "Crazy Sexy Cool"? If you are too young to remember the AWESOMENESS that was TLC in the early 1990's, I hate you. :) Mid-morning snack was the same as yesterday.... Z-bar and tea! And lunch was a crunchy savory sweet sammie... My sammie contained [...]
Morning! I feel like such a lazy pants -- I kept telling myself I'm going to go for a morning run, and then my alarm clock goes off and I just lay there, debate, hit snooze, and go back to sleep. I try all my old tricks -- thinking about how good it would feel [...]
I just got back from my 2nd dress fitting, and my wedding dress fits soooooo well now! An extra inch of fabric goes a loooong way. Most importantly -- I can BREATHE and SIT DOWN now! This fitting was to make sure the new waist fit and to get the bottom hemmed. While I [...]
The Holistic Doctor Is In! As you all know, Future Husband, his parents, and I have been diligently working for more than six-months to launch an online supplement superstore. www.TheHolisticDoctorIsIn.com is an extension of his father's (Dr. Cushing) holistic clinic, which Future Husband manages part-time. More than just an supplement superstore, www.TheHolisticDoctorIsIn.com was [...]
"Date night" with Meghann was a success, as always! We met early at Target to find book #3 in the Twilight series. It was there! Hooorah! I now have a complete set (I'm finishing up book #2 now). Then, we did a little shopping (or... I did!). I saw a gorgeous dress in a [...]
