(For some reason last night, I said, “Stay tuned for a post called So You Want To Run a 5K,” when I really I intended it to be about a Half… no idea why I promised a 5K post.  However, the tips below include information on how to get 5K ready, which of course if [...]

Well, Carolina Pit BBQ was the last place I expected to find my breakfast!   Back in the airport – headed to an Operation Beautiful presentation in Ohio!  I’m speaking to young girls who belong to a church group.  I’m pretty pumped because this is the target audience for the book I’m currently writing finishing!  [...]

For the third night in a row, I ate a hummus sandwich and vegetables for dinner.  My snacks were equally thrilling – fruit and nut butter.  Yawn.  Instead of boring you with that….   I spontaneously signed up for this awesome Half Marathon, which takes place in BOSTON at the end of May! This means [...]

You know what this girl needs to de-stress?   A manicure. A ride on the indoor trainer.  While watching TV, of course. And a long walk in my Vibrams with a happy puppy.   Ahhhh. I feel so much better now!   Breakfast was eaten in a rush because we had to go to the [...]

THE BIB TRANSFER DEBATE:  Out of all of the debate posts (also check out The Dog Poop Debate, The PETA Debate, The Michael Vick Debate, and the Sleeping Nekkid Debate), this was my favorite one!  Is it OK to pass off a bib to a friend? QUICHE CORNBREAD:  My most genius recipe of 2010! THE [...]

I was craving French toast this morning (Autumn Grilled Banana Sandwich, anyone?), but James asked for yogurt. After his near-death experience in October 2009, the vet told us that we should feed him organic yogurt (preferably plain) whenever his tummy is upset.  Organic has more probiotic cultures than regular!  So, I had to eat yogurt [...]

The Huz and I were so bored on our first flight back home that we actually did the “healthy stretches” in the back of the US Airways magazine.  Recommended for in-flight relaxation! :) I actually did feel better after following the recommendations (which also included drinking lots of water).   We also snagged a large [...]

World, meet Liam. Liam was born two and a half weeks ago to Nate and Kate! He is precious.  :)    Tonight, we brought over dinner and all stared into his eyes while he got milk drunk. I even got to feed him! I’ve never held a newborn before, let alone fed one!  He was [...]

Thanks so much for your feedback on my very exciting announcement!  It really amped me up, and I cannot wait to start writing.   I was planning to go the Superflow yoga class this morning, but I got a terrible headache.  One of my current non-running related fitness goals is to get through en entire [...]

Give a girl a pumpkin loaf, and she shall eat it for breakfast. Somehow, someway. In the mix:   Greek yogurt (vanilla) 1/2 cup oatmeal Pecans Canned Pumpkin Pumpkin loaf Oooooh yeah.   So – here’s something fun!  I’ve created a list of my Favorite Things.  Don’t you love the yearly Oprah episode where she [...]

More moonlighting as clinic secretary tonight.  The Husband is getting busier and busier (he is an acupuncturist and just opened his clinic in Charlotte).  Busy is a good thing.  :) That is my secretary face.  Slightly confused, but trying to be helpful.  Also, my outfit is pretty lame, but it’s hard to dress for the [...]

This is the view from my hotel room: Beautiful, I know. :)   Well, I’ve arrived and I’m alive.  I actually had a nice flight.  I read Runner’s World (the November issue was awesome).  And I read this book about the Michael Vick dogs, which was overwhelmingly sad and depressing.  But interesting! Airport food: A [...]
