I Need a Plan
Okay, since my races are pretty much over for 2010, I’m feeling a bit lost! My main goal right now is to PR at my next 5K, which is two weeks from today. My last 5K was in June, when I ran the Capital Pride 5K in 26:10. Since then, I’ve been training for distance, but my pace for my long runs has gone from 10:54/mile to 9:12/mile. That’s pretty speedy! But I haven’t pushed myself to run a fast 5K since June! I’m eager to see what I can do with that distance now. So, for the next two weeks my plan is to work do speedwork a few…

The Dreaded Snowfall
Yesterday was the start of something I dread every fall–the first snowfall! It’s too soon, I tell you, too soon! I miss my crisp, cool sweatshirt weather, falling leaves and dry sidewalks–perfect for running! I don’t want to run in slushy a wet mess! Boo! I’ll be happy if this is only snow we get for the rest of the winter! 🙂 But I know that is just wishful thinking. This morning I started my day with a bowl of pumpkin pie oats, instead of steel-cut I used regular rolled oats, and it was just as tasty. I think this may be my favorite combo for oats! 😉 1/2 cup of…

The Stockade-athon 15K
Another Sunday, another race in the books and another race bib to add the collection! This morning Chris and I got up bright and early to go pick up Heather. Heather was supposed to run the 15K with us, but she fell and got injured a few weeks ago, so she stayed on the sidelines and spectated for us! 🙂 Thanks for the support Heather, you’re amazing! (Heather was also my personal photographer on the course!) Love her awesome sign?? I do! 🙂 Anyway, the race started at 9AM sharp, and it was COLD. We waited around at the start for about 30 minutes and tried to get warm by…

The Thanksgiving Dilemma
I realized that I’ve never really discussed my meat or non-meat eating habits on my blog at length. One of the reasons is because I believe that what and why we choose to eat what we do is very personal. For me it is. After reading Julie’s post about eating Thanksgiving turkey ethically, I’ve decided to talk about my reasons for my eating habits on my blog. Some background info: In the fall of 2008, when I first began losing weight, I read “Skinny Bitch“. This book tells you to lose weight by eliminating meat and dairy from your diet. I believed that if I got rid of all red…

Boots at the Biergarten
Yesterday for breakfast I broke out the Pumpkin Pie Steel-Cut Oats. I had a whole container of oats sitting in the fridge I almost forgot about! But they were still good, thank goodness! I love adding pumpkin butter to my oats. So good! I went easy at lunch (had a hummus wrap) because I knew I would be going to the Biergarten for dinner, since it was my friend Keri’s 25th birthday, and she wanted her boot! But first, after work Chris and I went for a short three mile run. And it sucked. My legs were tired, and I just was not in the mood to run, although my…
