Morning! How are you? Don't forget to enter the Road ID contest! Technically, it's my Friday as I work four 10-hour days a week. Woo hoo! Several of you have asked why I don't run in the morning. I hate to be all "I Can't!" but it's true... I just can't. When we lived [...]

I am officially in love with another man: Bear Grylls. Seriously, read his wikipedia entry and you will fall in LURVE with this man! I'm super excited about your positive response to the Road ID contest! Don't forget to enter. Work vs. Caitlin - Round II There was another battle of work against [...]
Warning: Graphic (i.e. bloody) photo ahead! Last week, I wrote about a wonderful product called Road ID. Road ID was created on the concept that active people should wear ID as part of their gear when participating in outdoor activities. Road ID comes in many comfortable and visually-appealing styles, like bracelets, shoe tags, and [...]
Tonight, I won the fight! I don't really talk too much about work for privacy purposes, but I have mentioned that it has been a total doozy lately. I have SO much work to do, which in this economy and in my industry (housing) is GREAT, but I've pulled 11 hour days 3 days in [...]
Work has been kind of BLAH today. I have a lot to do and very little energy. Also, I discovered this weird swelling under my eye around 9 AM: Seriously, WTF is that? My mid-morning snack was so good! Sweet, salty, and crunchy -- chocolate, almonds, and raisins. That's the Husband's textbook. He's studying [...]
Good morning! I slept horribly last night and just wasn't in the mood to cook breakfast. Cue: cereal! I had 3/4 cup Grape Nuts, skim milk, and banana. With a coffee, of course! And, in relation to this AM's post discussion, Grape Nuts is one of the only cereals I portion out, as it [...]
I finally get to control the remote! We put a TV in the bedroom! And now it's MINE! My entire life, I've been against TVs in the bedroom, but that was before I got a Husband that watched Sports Center 24/7. Now I get to snuggle with the puppies and watch endless reruns of Law [...]
CHECK OUT Andrea's blog, Off Her Cork, for my Feet on the Street interview! Today is going swimmingly! Lots of work, and lots of good food! Let's get to it already, shall we? My mid-morning snack was a lovely orange. And lunch was a hummus and turkey wrap with a side of melon, [...]
Morning! Another work week begins. I have a lot of work to do this week, so I better get cracking! I woke up STARVING! I knew I had not made up my calorie deficit from my 10.35-miler but I simply could not eat anymore food before bed! So, I was quite happy to attack [...]
I have been a weird and lazy eater tonight! I snacked on yogurt + Fiber 1 and some melon. And dinner was pancakes and Canadian bacon. Yes, pancakes and Canadian bacon. It's all I was craving! And.... I'm out! :) Stay tuned this upcoming week for an AWESOME RoadID giveaway!
Hello! I managed to do my long run, but I ran 10.35 miles instead of 11.0. And I was terribly slow! But I kind of felt like "at least I'm getting the distance done." Basically, I was tired, hot, cranky, and bored. Not my best run! However... there was 1 bright spot. I tried [...]
My college was a bit of a "party school," and both the Hus and I used to love to go to the bars and clubs with our friends every single weekend (which for us was Wednesday through Saturday.... seriously). Now, it's fun to go and "relive" the good old days! Except now I try [...]
Best Valentine's Day song, ever! You know you love it. I'm glad I chose napping over working out this afternoon. Sometimes, it's just more important to sleep. I only missed a cross training day. No biggie. Before napping, I drank a glass of milk and ate some of a Kit Kat blondie. [...]
The Husband's Valentine's Day Surprise was a lovely picnic in a quiet park near a beautiful lake. We found a secluded spot underneath some shady trees. I promptly kicked my shoes off.... And enjoyed a small glass of dessert wine! The Husband had packed a Whole Foods picnic (oh, he knows me so well). We [...]
