Brrrrrrrr It’s Cold! What to Wear?
This morning when I got out for my12 miler it was 26 degrees. Not horrendously chilly, but windy enough to make this not-yet-acclimated-to-the-cold runner pause. I opted for a snug fitting base layer made of technical fabric to wick sweat away from the skin. The last thing I want is something loose that allows icy [Read More]

Turkey Trot 5k Race Report
I’ve been whining for years that there are no Turkey Trots that are close enough for me to run and make it back in time for Thanksgiving prep, etc. That all changed this year. This race was maybe a 3 minute drive from Casa Teamarcia–what’s not to like? I’d originally planned on sandwiching the 5k with a 2 [Read More]
In the Kitchen with Agave Sweetener
November is flying by and in my pre-Thanksgiving panic I haven’t yet shared any recipes. That will change right here, right now. I’ve been experimenting with Agave Sweetner as a sugar sub and I have 2 recipes I think you’ll like: Agave nectar has a lower glycemic load, meaning it doesn’t give your body as [Read More]
