Fall is Coming??
Did you enter my Chobani giveaway yet?? You have until September 6th at midnight! DO it! — Notice anything different about my blog? I changed the header this morning in honor of the first day of September, and of course, the start of my favorite season, fall. Hope you like it! Although, it doesn’t feel much like fall right now, as the weather has been above 90 for the last few days. I was driving home tonight and summer is still in full force. Even though I’m excited for fall, I’m trying to savor the last bit of summer, because it will be gone so fast! My training continued yesterday,…

August Recap
Well, its that time again. I can’t believe August is already over. But, the good thing is, September is here and that means fall, also known as my favorite season. 😉 Running Total for the the month: 64.48 miles and 10:56:16 total time recorded. I started half-marathon training a few weeks ago and will be running 15-20 miles a week until October 10, 2010 where I will run my first half-marathon. I also ran my first (and only) trail run. One Race On August 7, Chris and I ran the Chingachgook Challenge 10K in Lake George. This was my first official 10K and got an automatic PR, I finished in…

My Very First Giveaway!

8 Miles and Done
This morning I had to do another long run, 7-8 miles. My goal was to go out and run seven, possibly eight if I was feeling up to it. I was feeling a bit unmotivated to get going, but eventually I made it out there at around 9:00. But first, fuel! I had a bagel thin + almond butter + banana with some water. (yes, this is a recycled photo from my last long run, I eat the same thing!) One of my tactics to attacking longer runs is to break it up into sections. I generally run an out and back route of two miles (two miles out, two…

LaZeez and an Attemept and Vegan Baking
Last night Chris and I went to check out LaZeez, an Indian restaurant on Central Avenue. Friday nights they have all-you-can-eat buffet. We wanted to see if it was any better than the buffet at Aashiana. So, I filled up my plate with their vegetarian delights. On my plate Chickpeas Vegetable Korma (mixed vegetables in a cream sauce, my favorite) Palak Paneer (spinach and cheese cooked in a cream sauce) Green beans Fried vegetable dumpling thing (no idea what it was called) And we got a fresh baked serving of Naan (my other favorite). The naan was soft, buttery and chewy, so lovely. My opinion on the food: it was…
