Mean Miles And Extra Special Blondies

Posted on May 23, 2010. Filed under: Daily Update, Recipe | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , |

And here I thought a party at the Museum of Science’s skyline suite what special, I had no idea the blondies I’d be cooking up today. Endangered Species chocolate = amazing pre-running fuel. The milk chocolate with a hint of peanut butter let me down the first time I had it, but now I feel [...]

The Fastest My Heart Has Ever Beat

Posted on May 21, 2010. Filed under: Daily Update | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , |

I’m pretty much the textbook runner in a medical sense: low weight, low resting heart rate, low blood pressure, etc. Even when I “run”(more like jog), I’m not pushing it too hard to strain myself. But last night–well, first there was oatmeal. Because warm carbs and Mighty Maple are a good way to start any [...]

I’ve Been Waiting

Posted on May 15, 2010. Filed under: Daily Update | Tags: , , , , , , , , |

How long might a normal dog take to do his business? Because mine had me waiting almost 15 minutes as he walked around the whole backyard to find his “perfect” spot. I’ve been waiting all my life to find a nut butter as good as Mighty Maple. I’m glad that search came to an end [...]

Unplanned Is Better Than Not As Planned

In case you missed the weekend: Friday I got groceries and ate from Whole Foods and gave nut butter recipes Saturday people weighed in on an awkward and moralistic gym situation. And Sunday was the big Mother’s Day brunch I live off to-do lists and plans(you should see my to-do list for today. Yikes!). It [...]

March To The Beat Of Your Own Drum

It’s one of the simplest things to say, but the hardest to do. And yet, if we can do it in the little places in life, can’t we master it when it matters, too? We define “serving sizes” all the time. Don’t tell me to eat 10 pieces of ginger Vivani chocolate when they’re made [...]

Things To Do And Avoid On Those Hot Summer Days

Posted on April 24, 2010. Filed under: Daily Update | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

Do wake up at 7 before the weather turns hot to enjoy a nice run around your home streets. Don’t go out with the mindset “I’m going to find some horses!” not knowing where the nearest horses are and getting lost 7 miles away from your house. Do call your sleeping parents in a frenzy [...]

Homemade Raisinets

One of my favorite Michael Pollan’s Food Rules is “You can eat all the junk food you’d like, so long as you make it yourself”. I couldn’t agree with a thought like this more. Sometimes I wonder, “Is that hamburger and sweet potatoes meal I alway make all that different from a McDonald’s burger and [...]

I’m so glad you liked my first Picture It post; I feel like I’ve had so many food memories already and will undoubtedly have more so I can’t wait to share more of them. Yesterday, it seemed that everything was in excess. Luckily, I’m in a mindset where I’d sooner laugh it off than actually [...]

“If I’m Running, It Ain’t At 6:15″

Posted on April 13, 2010. Filed under: Daily Update, Product Review | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , |

Good morning! I hope you feel refreshed. I sure do sleeping in. I think I’m still catching up on sleep lost from Saturday night and I knew a 6:15 wake-up was not happening. I was thinking of running soon but I’ll just take a rest day and call the whole thing off. Can I change [...]
