In sickness and in health

If my relationship with running is ANY indication of my marriage skills, the future is looking bright for me and Kyle.  I was thisclose to throwing in the towel at multiple points this morning, and oddly enough, they were ALL before the race even started.  I’m not going to go into too detailed a description of the race, because most of my issues and battles were psychological in nature and BEFORE I even got to the starting corral.  I took this horrendous photo of myself to (a) show you the obscene time I was up… Read more >

Hands down

My favorite season of all, is FALL.  I just love it.  I get so excited when I feel the weather changing.  Is there anything better? 1. The sports: Fantasy football and actual football (sadly I still get my hopes up for the Bruins and the 49ers year after year…) 2. The weather: crisp without the MAJOR brrr of winter (perfect running conditions) 3. The holidays: Halloween AND my birthday 😀 4. The veggies: time to clean the cobwebs pots and pans out of the oven (woohoo for seasonal squash) Speaking of seasonal cooking…I ADORE my… Read more >

Clean Food to recoup

I called in sick today.  :(  I couldn’t help but feel that I would be doing more harm than good for my patients.  Healing hands?  Not so much.  So, rather than pass on my germies, I opted to keep my infectiousness to myself.  Hoarder!   You know I’m feeling bad when I bring out this bad boy.  My entire fist fits in this mug, I LOVE it :D  Half coffee, half leche, half froth.  Yes, the mug was SO big, the laws of mathematics didn’t even apply – it fit 3/2 in it.  Notice the… Read more >

Is sloth really a vice?

I have been putting EVERY effort into helping my body heal, so after several consecutive days of working, I was really looking forward to sleeping in and skipping the gym.  I slothed it up on the couch all day long.  I kid you not.  ALL.DAY.LONG.  What goes with laziness?  TV and grub.  Enter DVR and a marathon of breakfasts. My toast with Smart Balance light (it’s vegan, yo) didn’t hold me over very long, so an hour later I opted for a bowl of granola to supplement my brekkie (and a super overflowing cup of… Read more >

Making love to my Luna

I hereby dedicate this post to everyone who has de-lurked lately.  I LOVE hearing from you all, and it makes me so happy to know that you get ideas from my blog.  That said, several peeps have been asking for tips on packing lunches.  Well, I aim to please, so here’s a post packed with some of my latest eats that I have brought to work.  Lord knows, it’s hard to prep for 12 hour shifts, especially when you have no clue when (or IF) you will get breaks to eat.  So, I do rely… Read more >
