For some reason, this week made this whole “training” thing seem more real. I guess because now we’re officially 3 months out from the race. And the “long runs” are getting…well…long! Yikes… Here’s what I did this week: Monday: I don’t remember, but I think I did some extra stretching. I know I took Nina [...]

Half Marathon Training Week 4
Oh my, am I really a month into my half training! One down, three to go. This week, I feel like I slacked off on my training, but looking at it again, I think I did OK. Monday: Nothing. I was going to do some yoga, but ran out of time. Tuesday: 3 miles. I [...]
Half Marathon Training Week 3
I am pretty proud of my efforts this week. I made the time to do all my workouts, didn’t sacrifice sleep, and had some pretty good workouts, if I do say so myself! I also tried to keep better track of what I did, for blog and record-keeping purposes. Please skip to the end if [...]
Half Marathon Training: Week 1
Happy Sunday! Well, that might be some sort of oxy moron, but still. I’ve had a whirlwind weekend, and next week and next week is going to be insane as well. I’m going to Las Vegas with my dad next weekend, because that’s where all fathers and daughters go for quality time right? Anyway, I [...]
Windfall
My mom called me awhile ago and told me she has some random food items that she thought I might like (her fiancé ordered a bunch of food online and I guess this came with it). Not going to lie, when she said “organic raw pecan butter” I got really excited, because hello, that stuff [...]
Valentine’s Day Hike Recap and a Vegan Recipe
Hello! How was everyone’s weekend? I had yesterday off for President’s Day so today felt like a Monday, and not a normal one at that, since I was in an all-day seminar all about mobile media that was way over my head. And tomorrow at work we’re doing a press conference in the morning, which [...]
My New Crazy Endeavor, and Why I’m Becoming Popeye
In my last post I asked if you’ve ever done a workout that made you say “WTF AM I DOING” halfway through, and a few of you said yoga. Well, I think I have stumbled upon the craziest of “WTF yoga” out there—Bikram. A friend of mine talked me into going to a class, and [...]
A List and An Epiphany
Hey folks! I am in a list-making mood tonight, so I hope you don’t mind. Here are some things that have been going on in my world since I last updated my little bloggy. Work is really busy this week! Some weeks are more hectic than others (as I’m sure if the case with most [...]
Rah Rah for Raw Kale and Running
Good evening! Have you entered my “blog birthday” giveaway yet? There aren’t that many entries, so your chances are pretty good! (Don’t call it a “blogiversary.” I don’t know what but I’m not a fan of the term. I think the two ladies who I share my CSA goodies with are sick of kale, because [...]
Representing San Diego Left and Right
I freely admit that I am a lucky duck to live in San Diego. It’s no fault of my own really; my parents decided that San Diego was just nicer than Brooklyn so they moved here before I was born (not that I’d be upset to live in NYC, because I have a ridiculous obsession [...]
