Happy Sunday! I just returned from a busy morning of yoga and a quick Trader Joe’s run. Have I ever mentioned how much I love grocery shopping there? It’s so inexpensive! Ironically a lot of the items are so much “cleaner” and organic, but a lot cheaper than the other grocery stores in my area. … Continue reading »

Long Run Prep
I’m not sure when my idea of a perfect Friday night became a night in yoga pants, watching “Say Yes to the Dress”, with a homemade dinner and a glass of wine, but here I am. Content and comfortable. Last Friday, I hung out with a friend and her family, watched football, and played “knock … Continue reading »
The Art of Doing Nothing and Other Random Musings

I wish our crazy snowstorm in October would have … Continue reading »
Running Nightmares
Why hello there!

But, this week I’ve been having a new kind of nightmare: Physical Therapy Nightmare. I guess I’m having them because I’m … Continue reading »
Pedicures, Shopping, Not Cooking
Yesterday I decided that my blisters had healed enough post-marathon, and I finally treated myself to a pedicure at a favorite spot near my apartment. When the girl took my old nail polish off my big toe, I was surprised to see it was totally black. (So gross, I know). I know it had hurt … Continue reading »
