You can bet your booty I’ll be there the day it re-opens, waiting for them to unlock the door. Last night, we had a dinner I’ve been dying to try since I…

What Fuels Ya

Hey guys! How’s your morning going?? I’m about to start mine with a yoga podcast, but thought I’d say hello first 😀 For dinner last night, I made a giant batch of my sweet potato black bean chili. It simmered in the slow cooker all afternoon, and while I was at work, I knew it…

Treacherous Twelve

Yesterday, I prayed for sun for our long 12-miler. Sun came: And kicked me in the face. It was one of the most challenging, draining, thought-I-wouldn’t-make-it runs in a long time. To rewind a little, I started the day with some chia pudding since chia helps joint lubrication—I figured it would help my knees a…

Vino, Salmon and Holly

The Face of Temptation

If this isn’t tempting, I don’t know what is…. Macaroon dough. I always, always save myself a little at the bottom of the bowl, but today I didn’t have any due to my Lenten thang. 100% willpower, beebs. It wasn’t easy though…. I may have had two mugs full of brown rice cereal to distract…
