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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
A Cautionary Tale

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 [...]

Morning! My meals have been a little short on creativity since our kitchen supplies are running low thanks to traveling. But I did get to use a swag bag item: With my breakfast this morning! 1/3 cup oats with water, milk, one whole banana, flax, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Look at all that [...]
Back in the Routine

I was up and back in the routine quickly this morning with an easy 40-minute run. And I mean quickly since I needed to be at work early which means an early alarm. I guess I was in a different place on my route when the sun came up because I saw one of the [...]

So much to say! This will be a bit of a rambling post. First of all, posting yesterday just did not happen. Life has been super busy lately, and a little bit stressful. Consequently my meals yesterday were super-random (we’re talking broccoli for a nighttime snack…what the heck?). This morning I woke up early and [...]
All-American Breakfast

I had a little time before bed last night, so I hit the mat for a short Lunar Flow yoga practice to get rid of some of the day’s stresses. It’s a sequence focused much more on stretching than strengthening, and it felt really nice. Then after eight beautiful hours of sleep last night, I [...]
Sleep-In Sunday

Too bad I can’t sleep in past 8. Oh well! When I got up, I thought of different breakfasts I could make in order to take advantage of my extra time. Pancakes, French toast, etc… But no, all I was craving was a nice yogurt bowl. Oh well again! Here’s about 3/4 cup of Greek [...]
