Coffee pot, blender, coconut oil, cream… what are we making today? We’re making coconut oil coffee! No, I have not lost my mind. Yes, I realize coconut oil in coffee might sound crazy, but it’s good! You won’t believe it until you try it. I sure didn’t. I’d heard (read) about people putting coconut oil …

We’re 10 days into The Greener March Challenge. ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?! Greens today came in the form of green juice that I made and drank 45 minutes before I left for a run. We’ve had the Breville Juice Fountain Plus for about three and a half years now. I still love this little …

My biggest gal turned 9 years old today. NINE! I guess that means I must have been 16 when she was born because I can’t possibly be a day over 25 myself. (What?)

Last week, after hanging out in the upper 130′s for 4 days straight, I woke up on Saturday morning feeling very ready …

I made these dark and early one morning while everyone was still snoozing, they were ready just in time for breakfast. Served with a side of Yahtzee, our favorite new thing to do at the kitchen table.

OK baby girl, enough with the bike riding birthday breakfast bonanzas – you’ve got a marathon you’re supposed to be training for. Oh shoot, you’re right! Well, it’s Saturday, so I guess that means we’re running long today, eh? A few weeks ago I made my own version of Brendan Brazier’s Direct Fuel Bites for …

2010 started an awful lot like 2009 started: with a 7.5 mile road race first thing on New Years Day. Except unlike last year, I waited until the very last minute to decide whether or not to run this race. The decision was made at about 8 AM on 1/1/2010 when my running friend Shawn …

Having started last Saturday with a fast 7 miles, I decided this Saturday would be another long run – but this one at a comfortable pace and maybe a little further. Matt’s post on Stu Mittleman got me revved up for an enjoyable long run and today was the day. I wasn’t sure exactly how …
