Forgive me body for I have sinned. It has been 3 days since my last run. Gasp! I may not be the best eater, I may be far from the fastest runner, but one thing is for sure. I will get out and run 3x/week….even if it’s a leaden, snail-paced one laced with profanity. At [Read More]

Garden Fritters
I conjured this recipe in a futile attempt to keep pace with the zucchini that is exploding in our garden. I guess I could’ve made 767 loaves of zucchini bread…oh wait, I pretty much did. Turns out there wasn’t all that much zucchini left. So instead of 2 cups of zucchini, I worked in some [Read More]
Fall Frolic 5k Race Report
We were blessed with perfect temps. Low 50’s, sunny and breezy. I overdressed in long sleeves and I knew it, although I felt great waiting around before and after the race. This is the same course as a summer 5k I did a couple of years ago, just renamed and moved to a cooler time [Read More]
My Stash Runneth Over
Remember the other day when I was moaning about the Caveman single handedly wiping out my GU stash? I know, the nerve. Well in case you didn’t know, runners and companies that support them are pretty darn awesome. Look what has appeared on my doorstep since then: This treasure trove came from Erica over at [Read More]
Finally, Heart Results
Has this been the longest week ever? It sure seems like it to me after waiting, pacing, calling and waiting some more for the results from my nuclear stress test as well as the labs I did last week. Why, why, why aren’t doctor’s offices more sensitive to the stress one goes through when waiting [Read More]

Non-Running Workout: I’m all about plyometric intervals. Drink: My true love: Kombucha. Any flavor will do. Excitement: Well my nuclear stress test was [Read More]
A Day In the Life: Hospital Edition
My day begins at 5. I usually wake (either on my own because I’m an old fogey or the dogs do it) around 4:30p. I have 90 minutes before the kids get up for school. Often my workout happens in this pocket of time. But not today (ominous foreshadowing). Meditate Feed and walk dogs Prowl [Read More]
Energy Bits Review
Energy Bits Review Recently I was sent this cute little tin of Energy Bits: Tiny green algae bits, grown organically in fresh water tanks. In case you didn’t know, algae is a superfood. According to Energy Bits, when algae is taken in the morning, throughout the day when you are tired, or before a workout, [Read More]
Carrot Spice Bread
Cooler temps plus a boatload of carrots ready in the garden, means I needed to bake! I love me some carrot cake but I wanted something more nutrient dense. What better way to celebrate the change of season than baking up some spicy, moist bread studded with flecks of carrot and tender coconut? The aroma [Read More]
5k Run/Walk to End Lupus
If you’ve hung with me around here you may remember when I ran the Chicago Marathon on the Lupus Charity team in honor of my neighbor Alex, who was a teen at that time. Since then I am happy to say, she’s been managing her Lupus and just left a few weeks ago to study [Read More]
