The Flower City Half Marathon is one week from today. Like most runners right now, I’m feeling pretty nostalgic about the sport of running in light of what’s happened in Boston over the past week here. I’ve had this post in the works for a while, but my running woes and sore toes suddenly felt …

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!

This smoothie looked really good and chocolate-y, until I added two handfuls of spinach to it. Then it looked a bit closer in color to a pair of combat fatigues than a delicious chocolate drink. Oh well. Drink up, soldier! I gave the juicer a break today and made a green (brown) smoothie instead. Today’s …

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?) Ava’s birthday breakfast request was bagels, and so bagels it was. After Deep Nutrition, bagels became more of a treat around here – this …

It’s March 1. It’s time to start thinking spring. It’s time starting thinking green. In my post about choices leading to habits, I mentioned the role that green smoothies played in my journey to better, more enjoyable running. Devann left a comment on that post about rounding up some friends to do a 30 day green smoothie …

Do you know the best thing about running on cold and dreary days? It makes running on the sunny days that much brighter. (I know that sounds corny but it’s true!) My weekend long run for Week 4 of half marathon training was seven miles. It was 30-something degrees and I wore all my usual …

Let’s say you want to run a half marathon, but you take a look at a couple training programs and you’re worried that you don’t have time to commit to every single run prescribed in the plan or if you’re really going to be able to keep going through all these snow filled days. This …
