Pinkberry on the Pacific

Hey there!  I’m writing to you from sunny San Diego – well actually, it’s dark now, but it was definitely sunny earlier! I arrived in San Diego about 11 AM local time. But before I get into that, let’s start from the day’s beginning… Very early this morning I had a dream that I woke [...]

The "Glass Slipper" of Running Shoes

Hello Everyone! I have to make this quick because the car service is picking me up for the airport at 6:45 AM tomorrow and it’s already 11 PM! My day started like this… I had Happy Feet in my new 2010 Nike Air Pegasus running shoes! I have been wearing the Air Pegasus for about [...]

A Salad Duet

So this morning started off very early, or what seemed to be really early. I didn’t end up going to bed until nearly midnight and then my alarm went off at 6 AM. I really wanted to just stay in bed but I knew I’d better run today because I did not run yesterday.  It [...]

Too Much Anxiety and Too Little Sleep

Hello All! How did your day go? I woke up at 3:30 AM and could NOT go back to sleep. Ugh – I hate that! I think it’s anxiety related to my trip/meeting. So, as you might have guessed, too much anxiety and too little sleep = no running this morning. The alarm went off [...]

Orzo Risotto Improv

Hey there! Well my headache from last night has continued through today, although I have had intermittent headache-free spells. I did take over-the-counter sinus medication last night. It really helped me sleep, despite being the daytime kind. Getting a good night sleep really helped me with my run this morning. It was a gorgeous morning [...]

Saturday Night Headache

Hi Everyone, I’m going to make this quick because I have a terrible sinus headache. Morning started very early for a Saturday. I was up around 6:30 AM – yikes – way too early!  I was not super hungry so I made a smaller than normal breakfast… I mixed about 1/2 of a Trader Joe’s [...]

Costco Blowout

Evening everyone! Hope you all had a great Friday. Today is my typical day off, but I found myself working on and off from home. This is how it goes every year around this time.  After a rousing 4 mile run on the treadmill (still raining – ugh!), I enjoyed a big cereal mix… I [...]

Dessert For Breakfast

Leave it to my office to serve dessert for breakfast. I arrived at work this morning, expecting a nice breakfast spread. So I was not surprised to see the standard bagels and lox and fresh fruit. But we also had two huge chocolate bundt cakes that were masked as coffee cakes. You’ve all heard the [...]
