October Weekends

I just love weekends in October. This October seems to be a bit more rainy than others I remember, but I am still doing a lot of fun autumn activities. This weekend we have focused on great food.

A Trip To Trader Joe’s…

Tuesday: Soup, and More Soup!

Inspired by Julia

Holy Heat!

Yesterday was a beautiful day, it was wonderful and I loved driving with my windows rolled down last night as I drove from Rachel’s house to home. It was low humidity, and it felt cool. I cannot wait for fall weather! Today was a different story. It was hot and even worse… it was humid.…… Continue reading Holy Heat!

Training and Eating

Ahh, Wednesday. I am over half way through my work week! I feel very lucky that I love my job and [almost] look forward to going to work every day.

Tuesday: Getting My Run On…

Good Tuesday evening, folks! I feel like I have had a pretty busy day – but I did not get everything that I wanted accomplished. I had goals, and I also had priorities – and running at least 4 miles was at the tippy top of my priority list. So, as you know, I had…… Continue reading Tuesday: Getting My Run On…
