I actually ate this meal for lunch today, but since my breakfast was pretty boring and I think this is more breakfast-like, I’ll share this one today. One of my favorite combos is apples and almond butter on toast, but today I also wanted to use up half a banana that was in my fridge. [...]

Brrr!

Now remember…cold is relative! After my Team in Training group ran each Saturday morning with the temperature never below 85* all summer, yesterday’s run with 60* temps felt freezing! A little cold front has come through here recently, and we got to take advantage of it yesterday during my last Team in Training group run [...]

Saturday morning (wow, more than two days ago!) I set my latest personal distance record of 12 miles. I have run ten miles twice before, but this was my first dirty dozen and also the longest I will run before Nike Women’s, which is in fewer than three weeks!! I tried to make this run [...]

I woke up yesterday morning so excited about running 10 miles again. That means I’m officially crazy, right? Oh well, at least it made it a whole lot easier to get out of bed when my alarm went off. And since the quality of sleep I get on a Friday night here in college isn’t [...]

Double Digits!

I somehow pulled myself out of bed at 5 this morning and met my Team in Training group for 10 awesome miles. To me, this is remarkable considering several things: I didn’t have a great night’s sleep. I didn’t eat a proper dinner last night and just ate a really big snack right before I [...]

Life Updates

Welcome! I do sincerely apologize for being away for so long. I’m really trying to get a hold of this whole school/blogging/organizing my life thing right now. Thankfully, Gmail is one of the greatest inventions ever. Do y’all know about the powers of Google? I have integrated Gmail, Google Tasks, and Google Calendar to create [...]

I made it! All moved back into my dorm room no worse for wear. But as usual, I’m starting the day from the beginning. Move-in day started with an early wake-up call for my Team in Training run. My running buddy and I had a “we really are runners” moment this morning. We were standing [...]

Beware: even if you buy a fresh, boneless salmon fillet from the store, there could still be little bones. If you’re not careful, one of those said bones could get stuck in your throat. Thankfully, we have a lovely, local emergency room and I was in and out in probably under 20 minutes. That is [...]

Hello again from Boston! I was up and at ‘em early this morning to meet Kate and blog reader Amanda for a run around the Charles River. I was pleased to step outside the hotel and find that it was a wee bit chilly! I am so used to running in 90-100* that this felt [...]

Too Much Excitement!

I don’t even know where to begin. Guess we’ll start with that! I am a proud new owner of an iPhone, and I couldn’t be more excited. I got it this afternoon and have been playing with it ever since. Can’t wait to have fun with it this weekend in Boston! [Speaking of Boston, let [...]
