Today the temperature in DC was crazy warm for November – I think the high reached almost 70*. This meant two walks with Leela in Rock Creek Park in shorts & a tank top. Probably the last time I’ll be able to wear that in 2011. Even though it doesn’t feel like fall [...] Friday we had temperatures in the 70s. On Saturday, I woke up to temperatures in the 50s and cold rain. Talk about a quick transition to Fall weather! I had 8 miles on my training plan. Tapering + bad weather = no motivation to run. At all. I decided to take Leela for the [...] Apparently today is the official start of summer. DC misses that memo every year and starts a bit early, but I’ll take that over a long winter any day. Summer means flip flops every day, outdoor eating and sunshine after work. Summer also means delicious produce: beets, zucchini, tomatoes, and asparagus to name a few.

A few key strategies: Monday morning instead of working out, I took the dogs through a walk in Rock Creek Park. This meant I got to sleep in later and pretend I was still in the middle of nowhere.

I’m getting ready to hit the road tonight – Neil and I are driving to Buffalo for my future sister-in-law’s bridal shower. Both Neil’s brother and my brother are getting married this fall, within 2 weeks of each other, and [...] Is anyone else out there a fan of Amy’s products? I have a special place in my heart for their Mexican Tamale Pie and their Shepherd’s Pie. They are both delicious, not too high in calories, and have an amazing ingredient list. I love to have them with a salad for lunch. However, [...] Cooking for two people with different tastes can be a challenge. Whether you live with your family, a roommate or a significant other, there is a good chance people do not eat the same way as you do. While I am mostly vegetarian, Neil is not. He is definitely open to eating less meat since [...] Friday to Saturday have been full of my typical long run rituals. Friday night, eat pizza and go to bed early. Saturday morning, wake up and eat almond butter + chia seeds on toast and coffee. When I went to pack my usual during-run-fuel I realized 1 – Gu and Sports Jelly Beans are probably [...] |
