Muggy but at least cool, I headed out this morning to run a comfortable 6.24 miles in 50 minutes. My legs felt pretty tired toward the end but nothing a little green juice couldn’t fix. The star of today’s green sludge: A beat up pear. Thank you Heather for this fab idea! Today’s concoction consisted … Read more

Someone Knew it was a Rest Day

A totally soggy morning. How convenient I’d planned for today to be a rest day. Even the cats are taking it easy. Minus a little neck biting. Maxine was up early. Only to fall back to sleep. A leisurely breakfast cookie for me. And coffee. Time to lace up my shoes and get to work … Read more

Last night I thought I might try to do my scheduled long run this morning, but the soreness in my shoulders and arms from yesterdays push ups and plank made me reconsider. I just wasn’t feeling up to it and figured I’d save my long run for Saturday or Sunday as planned and stick with … Read more

Once I got home to find everyone still sleeping, I decided to take a cool down ride and rode … Read more

Never again will I look at overripe bananas and think “maybe I’ll make banana bread”. Forget banana bread. Banana bread is stupid.  Banana Whip is where it’s at. Here, let me prove it to you.

I find it SO easy to get out of bed when the sun is already up and the air is warm. I woke up at 5:45 and hopped on my bike sometime after 6 to breeze around town for 13+ miles in about 50 minutes. Today was a Sarah inspired breakfast. Oatmeal pancakes! I haven’t … Read more

No work out for me this morning, not an official one anyway. Today is a rest day but I still couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take a short little leisurely ride on my bike to the corner grocery store. It’s such a perfectly sunny, cool morning! The banana hammock is empty and I need … Read more

Who wants French Toast? One egg, a (large) splash of vanilla soy milk, a bit of vanilla extract and some cinnamon, scrambled together. Two slices of whole wheat bread, soak each piece in egg mixture for about a minute, or until bread is good and saturated. Soakin’ Sizzlin’ Breakto Perfecto Breakfast is not complete without … Read more
