Puppy .5k
Hi guys! Happy Sunday! Hope you’re having a wonderful and relaxing morning <3
The night before a race, they always say to eat something you know and have had before.
So I had something I know a little too well….
HOT BAR 🙂
Madras curry on top of veggies, beets, miso slaw, arame slaw and Babylonian treasure salad
+ my weekly vegan chocolate chip cookie 😉
We came back to the casa and called it an early night.
The original plan was to run the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure… but alas, I am a slacker and waited til the last minute to register and it was $40. A little pricey for a 5k and the drive was going to be about 40 minutes. My thoughts are if you’re doing to drive longer than you’ll be running- not worth it.
Instead….
we had a Puppy .5k 🙂
There were only two contestants,
and one dog walker 😉
Viesa was very upset because her Garmin wasn’t working
and Bella’s iPod died
So they walked together and finished the .5k leash-to-leash.
It was a low budget race, so instead of T-shirts, they handed out snacks 😉
We came back to the casa, the puppers ate and crashed out, and I made some pumpkiny oats:
-1/2 C oats
-1/3 C pumpkin
-cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, Stevia
-almond milk
–goji berries and cacao nibs
I’m OFF WORK TODAY!!! The plan was to go to Food and Wine Festival at Epcot, but no one in my fam can go, so let’s see what other shenanigans I get into 😉
Have a great day <3

WOOHOO!! Go Vies and Bella!!
Bummer about the 5K, but seriously, I think you’ll be able to enjoy your day off that much more now 🙂
Hope you enjoy your day off!
Poor Bella — an ipod dying is way worse than a Garmin not working (my opinion) 🙂
Enjoy your day off!
cute post! they are adorable!
So cute! Way to improvise!
I don’t blame you. 🙂
I say find some orlando bloggy friends and hit up that food and wine festival!! :)It sounds too good to miss!
I *just* last week (monday & then again this Friday bc I am now addicted LOL and WF is so close) tried the hot bar for the first time EVER and I got that same madras lentils… WOW! It really is as good as you’ve said… both the hot bar and Indian food (my first time trying it too!). Now I am dead set on making my own Indian (although I hear its hard to re-create those flavors at home – challange ?!)
Have a great Sunday G!
LOL Bella’s face is so cute in that pic. She’s giving a big smile!
Aww too cute. yes, $40 is a lot for a 5k especially!
This was such a cute post!! Your babies are beautiful and that’s definitely my kind of race. I can’t wait until I have a dog of my own to take out.
I hope you have a great day off 🙂 I wish I was in Orlando so that I could hit up the food & wine festival, but I’ve got plans in Port Orange today.
SO STINKIN’ CUTE !! 😀
Aw that’s so cute!
Oh my gosh, this post is hilarious. Definitely put a smile on my face today, so thanks! Congratulations to the puppies (and their stellar walker) on a strong finish. Hehe.
I love that you are so go-with-the-flow and just decided to have fun at home anyway. I think your puppy .5k was superior anyway—just look at the sportsmanship of the contestants! 😉
Pumpkin oats with goji berries sounds amazing! I wish I had some gojis and nibs so I could try it :). But really, when ISN’T an excuse to eat pumpkin good? 😛
I hope you have a fabulous day at the food and wine festival!! Congrats to the puppers for finishing!! 😉
cute puppies!
Good call on saving your cash, saving the drive time (like your rationale if the race is shorter than the drive time why bother!) and just having a more leisurely day. I have made that very call before, too. I do it also w/ my gym who’s child care closes by noon. Some days it’s way more stressful to drive to the gym, rush to get myself and kiddo outta the house, park in the ramp, walk to gym, etc. only to have a very short time at the actual gym. On those days I am wayyyyy more efficient w/ my 12 lb dumbbells, my yoga mat, and my exercise balls.
Enjoy your day off!!
🙂
Hahahaha – that was SO cute!
I bet the dog race was a blast 😀
Haha, love this! You win some, you lose some *or you change your plans or improvise*
I say… go to food and wine solo!!! You can do it!!
i thought about it, but i didn’t think it would be as fun
I love your sneakers!
Have a lovely Sunday- lounge around, everyone deserves to relax on Sunday!
