Go Girl Half-Marathon Recap

May 27, 2012

I can’t believe I just wrote those words! My first half-marathon is in the books. It’s been this far-away bucket list item for years. A repeat New Year’s resolution for so many years it was almost a punchline. And now it’s, well done. However, it definitely did not go down easy. As I mentioned in [...]

The countdown begins…

May 24, 2012

Just a few days left till my first half-marathon! I’m in full-scale nervous energy preparation mode. I’ve broken in my shoes, downloaded tons of new music, planned my warm-up, fueling and hydration, asked people to come cheer me on (or collect my corpse if necessary).

Hurry Hurry Curry Chicken Salad

July 28, 2011

I feel like this week is slowly slipping through my fingers. I’m scrambling to finish work and freelance projects in the hope that I can leave for BlogHer next week with a somewhat clean slate and a window of opportunity to relax.

Easy Veggie Artichoke and Olive Calzones and Shin Splints…

December 17, 2010

As soon as it gets cold, really cold, all I really want when we get home from work is bread, cheese and blankets. I have so little motivation and while bread and cheese surely tastes great, too much is definitely not an aid to our better health. So last night when I was craving calzones, [...]
