Chicago, IL | June 4-7, 2015 | With the move to the Midwest this year, I made a promise to myself to plan trips with each group of friends. I'm absolutely terrible about keeping in touch with people and I figured this way there is 1) something to look forward to each year and 2) … Continue reading Chicago!
One of my absolute favorite things. If I could eat guacamole all the time I totally would. LOVE IT. This recipe is made off my knowledge of Rosa Mexicano guacamole. I'd had it enough times in DC and watched them prepare it that I was pretty sure I could recreate it myself. And sources (Jon) … Continue reading Guacamole
It's always been said that it's hard to have the motivation to work out when you go on vacation. Since I got Jon on board with running he's been good about getting me up to get our runs in before we go off and have fun during the day. We're going to be put on … Continue reading Working out on Vacation
I promise I don't only make pasta dishes but these have been too delicious not to share! I was again looking for something quick and easy as we're only home for a few days and I didn't want to buy lots of groceries to get us through the week. Luckily for me, Two Peas and … Continue reading Mexican Tortellini Salad
So since my last training update I've had a half marathon (Alexandria) where I didn't PR and then have slowed a little of my training off and focused on strength for the last few weeks. I was pretty bummed about not getting close to the PR goal for Alexandria but various factors weren't in my … Continue reading Training Update
May 21-25, 2015 | Washington DC | A trip back to the old homestead for a little running and a lot of friend visits. After we'd traveled to NC to get our cars inspected, we stopped off in Blacksburg to find a new place to live. Jon gave me a quick tour of campus and … Continue reading DC Visit
One of Jon's new favorite things. 🙂 As I've been adapting my eating habits for summer training I've been cooking separate meals to keep the hubs happy. He loves tuna and mushrooms- two things I'm not particularly fond of so when we're not eating the same meal I like to make him something tasty. And … Continue reading Skinny Tuna Noodle Casserole
Alexandria, VA | May 24, 2015 | Time: 2:12:49 | What a miserable course. Coupled with a delayed start and a hot/humid day meant that I was lucky to not get my personal worst. This was a smaller half marathon compared to some of the ones I've done in the past (IE anything Rock n … Continue reading Alexandria Running Festival Half Marathon
On to a new recipe! Sorry for the delay in posting we were off driving to nc, finding a place in blacksburg and running a race in DC. Busy week and no time for blogging! I went back to Two Peas and Their Pod when looking for dinner last night. I'm trying to keep the … Continue reading Easy Summer Pasta Salad
Every year I think about where I'd like to travel and what I'd like to run before figuring out where I'll toe the line. Sometimes I stay local and sometimes I throw down big. This year (2015) I've had a little of both. I started the season with a half marathon in West Bend, WI … Continue reading Choosing Races
