It was another egg and everything bagel kind of weekend here. (That means it was a good weekend.) But now it’s Monday, and we’re moving on to better and bluer breakfasts. These little wild blueberries from Woodstock Farms are my current favorite small blue thing. I pop about a half cup of them into a … Read more

I made it! Picked up my swag. (that’s actually a really nice long sleeve tech shirt.  and green glasses rule.) Rolled out my leg on a rolling pin – (thanks for that, Katheryn!) Like so: and had a hotel bed pre-marathon dinner time picnic. (my current fav salad mess, half a bagel, Brussels sprouts, Buffalo … Read more

So it’s the first week in October, and that means this is marathon week over here. I’ve had a couple of training trial and errors through the month of September, and there’s a couple things I’ve learned over these past 4 weeks.  This little ditty is for you long distance runners out there who might … Read more

Yoga at Home

September 27th, 2011 | Posted by Alison Spath in Fitness - (6 Comments)

With all this extra mileage from last minute marathon training, I’ve been trying to get back into the groove with a more regular yoga practice. Increased mileage –> greater risk of injury –> more yoga to help offset the additional time and distance on my legs and feet. I really fell in love with yoga … Read more

First Tuesday

March 1st, 2011 | Posted by Alison Spath in Breakfast - (2 Comments)

There is a 6:30 AM Active Yoga class on Tuesday mornings that I occasionally get to, and today was one of those Tuesdays.  As it turns out, on the first Tuesday of every month this Active Yoga class becomes a Restorative Yoga class. “Restorative” apparently meant just five poses.  That’s it.  Five.  In 45 minutes.  … Read more

So I dropped off the face of the blogosphere for a month and a half or something.  Oh yes, I’m still here – new camera collecting dust while I’ve been off having fun with much of the following: 1.  The Primal Blueprint Meets The 4-Hour Body. I devoted a bunch of posts in December to … Read more

New House Firsts

So I’ve got a couple of note worthy new house “firsts” to mention today. 1. Run the recycling bin out the curb barefoot and in my too-thin-for-29-degrees pajamas at 7:35 AM Oh sure, I’ve done this plenty of times before at the old house, but yesterday was the first time I did this at our … Read more

Up dark and early this morning for some one on one time with my yoga mat and my pal Dawnelle from Yogadownload.com. Yesterday morning after my run I found myself thinking “I need to do yoga” and this morning as I was rolling out my mat I thought “I should be running”. This is one … Read more

A Free Glass with Every Jar

Insomnia struck early this morning from about 2 until 4am. I slept in and got up when the girls did sometime before 8. I did yoga at home this morning with only a few interruptions for granola bars and one bonked head. A big shout out to Caillou today for baby sitting for about 40 … Read more

No Run, No Guilt

October 22nd, 2009 | Posted by Alison Spath in Breakfast - (12 Comments)

It’s been a little warmer these past few days, so I planned to run outside this morning. Unfortunately by the time it was light out and I had my act in gear, Zak had to put the kibosh on my run to leave something called work. Fine, I guess you can go to work. What … Read more
