Finally. I felt like I was so pressed for time this whole week. At last, today I got my butt outta bed for a glorious 7 miles. Look who I spotted at the very end of my run! Anthony and I have lived withing 0.5 miles of each other for the past 2.5 years. … Continue reading »
Thank you Thailand for thinking of awesome recipes. Last night my colleague cooked dinner for a small group of us. It was awesome. I showed up early to help chop a million vegetables! I don’t mind slicing and dicing, except when it comes to carrots. They’re just so hard to cut, even with a good … Continue reading »
Sometimes when life hands you a lock, you have to jump the fence. Occasionally the school teachers decide to lock the entrance to the track. Thus we have to make our own way in, middle-school rebellion style. Anthony joined me for a quick track workout this morning. I overslept so we were a bit short … Continue reading »
Yesterday I went out for a jog after work. I’ve run by this tree at least a thousand times and never noticed it had so much to say! I don’t think I’ve ever done something rebellious like carve my initials into a tree. I didn’t even carve or draw on desks when I was in … Continue reading »
Look at my amaza-cado. This incredible avocado variety is tough to find, but whenever I spot its big green body at Harris Teeter I snag it immediately. It’s twice the size and half the price of Hass avocados. Why? I don’t know, but maybe because consumers haven’t caught on to its large lusciousness yet. I … Continue reading »
Nothing closes off the week like a good girls’ night. These ladies know how to have fun. We met for happy hour at Darlington House. Daniela has recently inspired me to drink more Seagram’s 7 and 7. So tasty, so fresh! We were going to buy dinner here, but the bartender was sort of slow. … Continue reading »
Quick! Which is more fun to look at? Well unfortunately last night I got to stare at the one on the right for a good 45 minutes or so. Dreadmills are never as nice as the outdoors in my opinion, but good to have when Mother Nature says, “Mary, don’t you dare mess with me … Continue reading »
Weekend countdown: 2 days. I’ve got some work to do this morning, so my typical track workout has been rescheduled for this evening. So instead of a nice picture of sunshine and trees, here’s a picture of breakfast! Oats. (with a bunch of other delicious stuff like bananas and cinnamon and coconut). Yes it’s in … Continue reading »
Look who came over for dinner! Mercedes was kind enough to cook a big pot of Indian food for Leah, Miriam, and myself. It’s been 14 hours since the Indian food was cooked and consumed, and my apartment still smells like cumin and coconut. I know you think Mercedes is the one holding the pot, but … Continue reading »
It’s boot(y) camp time! Salone whipped me and 35 other people into gear this morning. Suicides, sprints, lunges, and a foot race? It was like high school gym class x10. Why are burpees so popular? Because they are the ultimate test of fitness. Wikipedia informs me that the US army used burpees as a fitness … Continue reading »
