I don't have much for today. It's been non-stop raining/sleeting all day so I stayed in bed until 3pm listening to and finishing that book I started last night - Pines by Blake Crouch. I liked the first half better than the 2nd half, but it was one of those books that I couldn't stop … Continue reading Running, Reading, Ghosts, and Tomatoes

50-Day Run Streak #writeandrun31
I hit a pretty awesome milestone today - 50 days of running in a row! And in these 50 days (started 11/23/14) I've ran 171 miles. That's 3.42 miles per day on average. I'm pretty sure there were only 1 or 2 days in which I only ran 1 mile (one of those being yesterday, … Continue reading 50-Day Run Streak #writeandrun31
Day 10 #writeandrun31
Today has been pretty much a rest day. I spent the entire morning in bed catching up on my DVR'd shows from the week (Forever, SVU, Biggest Loser, Revenge). I finally got up around noon and took Lucy for a walk. When we got back, I had some leftover Pueblo Pie and watched a couple … Continue reading Day 10 #writeandrun31
New Shoes! #writeandrun31 Day 9
I mentioned yesterday that I'm on the hunt to find a new pair of PureFlow 2s and guess what?! Yep, I found some today! I don't know why I hadn't thought of checking the "Big Kids" sizes before now because not only was I able to get them in this awesome bright yellow color, but … Continue reading New Shoes! #writeandrun31 Day 9
Day 8 #writeandrun31 – My new Garmin came today!
From the 305 (enormous) to the 210 (big), and now the 15 - finally they made one that fits my tiny wrist! And because it also has a step tracker, I'll be able to get rid of my broken Fitbit too ;) Just need to wear it (the Fitbit) one more day to check the accuracy … Continue reading Day 8 #writeandrun31 – My new Garmin came today!
2014 Mileage Total (Day 6 #writeandrun31)
I got an email from DailyMile this morning that had my total mileage for 2014. There were a few months where I was either sick or injured, but overall it was a good year! I think this total also includes walking though, because my 2014 total running mileage was more like 900-something miles. So for … Continue reading 2014 Mileage Total (Day 6 #writeandrun31)
My Running Journal (Day 5 #writeandrun31)
Anyone have a hard time finding the "perfect" running journal? I've been through something like 10-12 different journals/logs and I always end up either not using them at all, or scribbling down a few days worth of entries before deciding that I just don't like it. I do log all my mileage on the computer (in an … Continue reading My Running Journal (Day 5 #writeandrun31)
Meatless Monday – Pueblo Pie (Day 4 #writeandrun31)
That Pueblo Pie I made last night... it was DELICIOUS! I thought about waiting until tomorrow to post this, but since I tend to blog later in the evening Meatless Monday will be almost over. So here you go... Pueblo Pie (Tex-Mex Lasagna) -adapted from a Dr. McDougall recipe Ingredients: Sauce: 1.5 cup veggie broth … Continue reading Meatless Monday – Pueblo Pie (Day 4 #writeandrun31)
Day 3 #writeandrun31
I'm feeling a bit better today so I was able to knock out a 3.5 mile run without too much effort. My right foot still feels somewhat "off" but I don't know how to explain it. It's almost like I'm running at a slant and my right foot is lower than my left. Does that … Continue reading Day 3 #writeandrun31
Day 2 #writeandrun31
I did the best I could today considering I feel like my head is going to explode. I have such a bad head cold, along with chills, fever, and the usual tummy issues. I went to the gym at lunch today and I managed to run 1 mile, followed by a 1.5 mile walk. In … Continue reading Day 2 #writeandrun31
