This week was a mix between easy & time intensive recipes. Yes, I'm still baking plaintains with Purely Twins and still making recipes out of My New Roots (see the blog), even though I've already published my review of the cookbook. I made another recipe from it that was very tasty, but I didn't take photos so I'll save it … Continue reading Friday Food Porn #6: Home made Cereal!
5 Things I Wish I Knew When I Started Running
One of the things I love about running is that I'm always learning. I enjoy learning, even if the contradictions sometimes make my head feel like it's going to explode. Even though I read about running while learning to run, there are definitely things I wish I'd done differently when I started. Today I'm linking … Continue reading 5 Things I Wish I Knew When I Started Running
What kind of runner are you?
I don't run in groups as often as I'd like, because I rarely find people who run my pace. Either they're too fast (usually) or they're too slow (occasionally). I feel like Goldilocks! Still, in the last 4 years of running, I've participated in a variety of group runs and I've run with a variety … Continue reading What kind of runner are you?

Half Marathon #11 — Tuesdays on the Run
Today I'm joining Erika @ MCM Mama Runs, April @ Run the great wide somewhere and Patty @ My no-guilt life! for Tuesdays on the Run, and we're talking Fall racing schedule. Mine is kind of empty at the moment. I enjoy racing, but I don't do it all that often. I think I've done 5 races so … Continue reading Half Marathon #11 — Tuesdays on the Run
Running the edge: 8/3-9
When a door closes, somewhere a window opens. I'm a firm believer in that. Tara of Running n Reading decided to stop her weekend recap linkup (and you should still visit her totally awesome blog), but Holly from HohoRuns and Tricia at MissSippiPiddlin stepped in to fill the void with a weekly wrap linkup. I didn't take notes this week so … Continue reading Running the edge: 8/3-9
5 Things I Do Every Day
Animals love routine. They love going for their walks at a certain time, they love snuggle time, they love play time, and so on. They can really act out sometimes if you take them out of their routine. Well, humans are animals, too. Today I'm linking up with Cynthia from You Signed Up for What?, … Continue reading 5 Things I Do Every Day
Friday Food Porn #5: No Cook & Some Cooked,Too
It stayed hot in the first part of the week, and then the temps have plummeted to almost fall-like temps. Or maybe Indian summer. I've actually had to wear a jacket while walking the dogs the last couple of mornings! Cooler weather & more sleep = baking mojo partially bake. Along with some really yummy … Continue reading Friday Food Porn #5: No Cook & Some Cooked,Too
Learning this blogging thing
House cleaning is sedentary I really love my Garmin Vivoactive. Sure, it has its quirks, but I love that it's a fitness tracker and GPS all rolled into one (and then some!). So when I discovered that vacuuming the upstairs & making the bed nets me like 300 steps but takes me 30 minutes? Is … Continue reading Learning this blogging thing
Commitment
Commitment! Now that's an easy one (for me, anyway). You will never get far as a runner without showing up & doing the work; that's what commitment means to me as a runner. And I am a committed runner. I find it very hard to miss a planned workout, even when it's not in my … Continue reading Commitment
