Shiratake, Inception and Hummus To-Go
Oh finally it is the weekend. Thank goodness. I was starting to feel like the workday would never end. 🙁 I’m so glad to be home! I have an exciting weekend coming up! But lets rewind a bit to Thursday. Last night I came home from work to make a quick and easy dinner. I had previously picked up some Tofu Shiratake Noodles to try! Hungry Girl raves about these because they are so low calorie and apparently a great substitute for pasta, so I wanted to see what the big fuss was about. I was shocked to find the whole bag of noodles was only 40 calories. That made…

Sweet Glasses and Rajma Masala
I hope everyone is having a great Monday!! I woke up this morning super early. I think it was because I went to bed at 8:30PM last night (I was exhausted, since I ran a little race yesterday morning called the Boilermaker). I was also feeling a bit sore in my right leg/outside hip area. Nothing a day of rest won’t cure. 😉 Anyway, for breakfast I had a chocolate cherry bomb in my sweet new pint glass! 🙂 We got these awesome glasses in our goody bags yesterday after the race. And I swear, the shake tasted way better in this glass than usual! In my cherry bomb: 1/2…

2010 Boilermaker 15K
Wow, I’m finally home, showered, and extremely exhausted! But I feel amazing. 🙂 Today I accomplished one of the greatest things in my life…running in and completing my first 15K road race! The Utica Boilermaker! As of today, 9.3 (9.5?) miles is officially the furthest distance I’ve run at one time. And I’m so proud of myself and how far I’ve come. Less than two years ago I was overweight and out of shape and never would have in a million years thought I would be running in a 9.3 mile race. This just goes to show that you can do anything, if you put your mind to it. I’m…

Bring on the Boilermaker
Okay, I guess if I’m not ready by now, I won’t ever be ready! I have all of my stuff packed for Utica and made a checklist of things to bring: Running top Running shorts Sneakers Socks Sportsbra Headphones Ipod Ipod armband Spibelt Camera Maps/Directions Energy gels/bloks Peanut Butter and Bagel (for breakfast) Coconut water Clif Z Bars (for snack) Cold meds Tissues Camelback (I think I’m going to wear it, just to keep my tissues in it because I may have to blow my nose a million times during the race…eww.) A fan (for sleeping comfortably!) I think that may be it..besides general toiletries and such. Breakfast this morning…

Should You Run with a Cold?
I think I may have come down with a head cold. Not exactly sure how, but last night I started to feel a sore throat coming on, and this morning I woke up with a stuffy nose. Not fun, my friends. Especially when I have my first long distance race on Sunday. This morning I drank lots of water, took a mulitvitamin and some vitamin C, and made a chocolate strawberry protein smoothie in a mug. Ingredients in the smoothie: 1/2 cup of almond breeze, 1/2 scoop of chocolate rice protein, 1/2 tsp of maca powder and a handful of frozen strawberries. It still tasted a bit gritty from the…
