Travelling for work is tough! I went with the greatest of intentions. I packed my running gear intending to make it to the hotel gym at least once for my scheduled tempo run. Sadly, my days consisted of leaving the hotel at 7:30 am not to return until 10pm totally exhausted. No gym time for…
I approve of Super Bowl games that come down to the last play. Makes it so much more interesting for us fans (especially the ones whose team never makes it to the playoffs). Lucky for me, that last throw lofted into the end zone was batted away for an incomplete. Giants victory! My husband is…
A couple of weeks ago, I made reference to something I heard while attending a cooking class while on vacation: “Don’t buy food. Buy ingredients and make food.” Had I heard this, say, in my early 20’s I’d probably have shrugged and don’t given it much thought. But between a stint as a vegetarian and…
You may notice that things look different around here. I’m renovating! My apologies if everything isn’t working just right yet. It’s a work in progress. I’m hoping to iron out the kinks over the weekend. If you know of a great header designer, please leave me a comment! In other news, I did something totally…
I am a HUGE cereal lover, although I rarely just have a bowl of cereal in the traditional sense. I’d heard so many great things about Attune Foods cereals so I was thrilled that they wanted to send me some samples! Is that a friendly note or what?! Attune Foods uses only whole, natural ingredients to make…
So I learned a lesson yesterday evening about eating for fuel and preparing for your training. Our evening was supposed to include a 5 mile tempo. Instead, it devolved into 3.36 miles with some dry heaves thrown in (TMI?). What happened you ask? Mistakes were made. Let me explain. 1) I ate perhaps a little…
It’s OK to eat greasy hamburgers. Seriously. They don’t bite, unless you’ve severely undercooked them. Obviously there’s going to be a caveat or nine coming soon, but during our recent sortie to Santa Fe, I had two experiences that led me to write about food, and more specifically food that is supposed to be awful…
Adequate hydration is essential and can make or break your workout. I remember when I started training for my first half marathon, and hadn’t quite learned what worked for me. I would try and go for 7+ mile long runs and would hit the wall about 50 minutes in. And you know why? It was…
What’s a cherpumple, you ask? Let me explain. Cherpumple is short for CHERry, PUMpkin and apPLE pie. Each pie is baked into a cake. Then, the whole three-layer monstrosity is iced into the ultimate holiday super-cake! (source) No, that is not MY cherpumple. I’ve never even seen one in person, but when my friends told…
Greetings! This post is late this morning due to a late night involving a cancelled flight. I don’t know how frequent business travellers do it! Here’s this week’s Friday 5 of things I’m loving/grateful for right now. (source) 1. My Bed. I got home at close to 11pm last night, and have never been more…
Hi, I'm Brigid. This is my journey in living an active, healthy life as I approach my 30th year. I try to focus on the positives, eat more veggies, run more miles, and not sweat the small stuff.
