I am a pretty self-motivated person when it comes to exercise, especially when I have a race I’m training for, which I treat as a deadline. Like being prepared for a presentation, or taking a test, I think of my workouts as “homework” or “studying.” The more time I put into it beforehand, the better [...]

As part of my marathon preparation (eee-gahd, it’s about 1 month away), I’ve temporarily given up alcohol. Wine, more specifically, as I’m not much of a boozer or beer fan. This is hard for me, as I truly love curling up on the couch on a Friday night with a glass of Cabernet. I love [...]

It’s probably the most un-blogworthy part of my day, but I feel the need to tell you that I ate a Twix bar. There, I said it.

I’m happy to report that I think I really did make a good use of my weekend. A good balance of yummy, high quality whole foods, exercise, necessary housework and quality time with my boyfriend (I’m working on a good blog name for him, as “boyfriend” seems so silly at this point).
