Just returned from about 3 days in Vegas. This is the third year in a row that we’ve gone in early December. We love it and it’s great to see Sin City decked out in holiday bling, but I must admit that it’s a hard time of the year to be away from home even [...]
I’m bad at drinking water on a daily basis. When I run or workout, I drink LOTS. But the “8 glasses a day”…..not so good at it. I need to hydrate and carb load the next couple days….that’s what the seasoned runners do. I tried this little pre-race concoction and it’s delish: Cranberry Pomegranate Emergen-C [...]
I’m so glad Jay decided to run the Santa Clarita Half Marathon yesterday. {He’s actually in this pic in the back of the pack} Not only am I so proud of him and his time, but it also got me excited for the Vegas Rock & Roll. Yes, I may have bitten off more than [...]
We wanted to cheer Jay on along the way this morning. Fortunately we caught him at two locations before the finish line, but it wasn’t easy. I forgot the stroller to I had to hustle with Holden on one arm, the camera on the other AND our banner! But we made it and loved seeing [...]
Jay is just about to start running in his first half marathon. He’s fueled with whole wheat pasta, steel cut oats, half a PowerBar and some Powerade… {whole wheat spaghetti, lemon grilled chicken, feta cheese, marinated artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, fresh garlic & olive oil} Elliott, Holden and a couple of their little friends [...]
With my newfound love for making rosettes along with a sweet woman who stopped me and complimented my novice work, I decided that I am going to spread awareness and try to raise some money for CCFA. Next month’s Zappos.com Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas Marathon & 1/2 is benefitting the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation [...]
Well, yesterday morning I did it. I left the “comfort” of our neighborhood and ran {aka slow jog} to Starbucks while Jay pulled the kiddos in our new bike trailer. As the crow flies, Starbucks is 2.5 miles, but we took the paseo route which I estimate added about half a mile or so. I [...]
I have to admit, lately I’ve not been as focused on my good eating habits and workout regimen as I had hoped to be. A bag of pretzel or coconut M&M’s here…. A Monday evening glass (or two) of wine during “The Bachelorette” there… A trip to Red Robin for Elliott’s graduation… Too many Tootsie [...]
OK…I’m putting it out there so I have NO excuses. I am planning on signing up for the Las Vegas Rock N Roll Half Marathon on December 5, 2010. We were in Vegas last weekend when this was going on. I thought, “If The Biggest Loser peeps can do a FULL marathon, then I can certainly [...]
