It’s going to be a long unsocial weekend, but I am loving Chef V’s green juice, so I don’t mind. A 3 day cleanse is about to start. Yummy!
This is happening this weekend!
Austin Half Marathon 2015 – Love Austin Run Austin
I know that you know that I love running in Austin, TX. This was my third Austin Half Marathon and if you like to remember how I did in 2014, just go and read my 2014 Austin Half Marathon Race Recap. For me, running in Austin is always about the people, my friends who live […]
EWG’s Dirty Dozen
Every year the Environmental Working Group (EWG) publishes results from government tests on pesticide residue in conventionally grown fruit and vegetable. EWG’s Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen shows which fruit and vegetable you’d be better off buying organic (if you don’t care much for pesticide in your food). Food to buy organically (Dirty Dozen […]
A fearless and determined heart
“What matters most, more than training and luck, is the heart. Only a fearless and determined heart will get the the gold medal. It’s all about passion.” ~Isabel Allende My training for the upcoming Austin half marathon can be at best described as “taper first, train later”. You could call it “fearless”, but it wasn’t […]
3 ways I use coconut oil
I have three jars of coconut oil in my house. One sits in the bathroom. I use it as a night cream. One sits next to the oven. I use it for frying and cooking. One sits next to the fridge. I use it for oil pulling. I could say, coconut oil has become the […]
I finally stepped in… with yoga
I started taking yoga classes. I love it! Now, don’t you worry, I haven’t broken up with running. But I needed a fresh start. 2014 was a tough year (too much work, too little me-time). I got sick. I disliked my life. Actually, I did not dislike my life. I did some amazing things in 2014, […]

100 Days of Happiness!
Every January when we make all these well-intended New Year’s Resolutions, we add stress to our already busy lives. We tell ourselves we are not fit enough, skinny enough, healthy enough and start programs that most people abandon within the first 5 weeks of the year. How do we make it a Happy New Year? This […]

How not to run in the mud!
I guess we are spoiled runners here in Northern California. The weather is usually perfect for running: not too hot not too cold dry most of the time (we do have a drought problem…) no snow little wind Seriously, the weather forecast people call it a “storm” when we have rain forecast of about 0.5 […]
Three more reasons why I run with Team in Training
Last year I wrote a blog post on Why I run with Team in Training.All these reasons are still true to me. But this year I added a few more. During my recent run at the Nike Women’s Half Marathon in San Francisco, I saw these and realized they were true as well. Me-TimeTaking time […]
