Friday Randoms
I’ve been on a recovery week this week for training, although I missed yesterday’s run because of a migraine that came on Wednesday afternoon and has had a long tail. I’m still not feeling great but just have a short session of intervals tomorrow which I should be able to get done. Next week is…

Work and Play
Marathon training is going well. I did my second last really long run yesterday and have intervals tomorrow. I’ll have a down week next week and then the final big week before taper. I’m just trying to stay healthy and uninjured at this point. My coach has set a super easy pace for long runs…

We Are Home …
I loved our time away, but there is nothing like coming home—dinner with our daughter, Riley sleeping on his mat, or sniffing all the things on his morning walk, saying hello to people we know in the street, and best of all my own bed. After dinner and my coaching call last night, I had…

Around here …
The weather this week has been summery. I guess this is our last bout of warm weather before colder weather sets in. I’ve even been able to eat my post-run breakfasts outside. We finished two 1500-piece puzzles. I had a couple of migraines earlier this week which is about a month after my last cluster.…

I’m back baby …
in the kitchen, that is. I posted a few weeks ago how I felt like I was in a cooking rut and had invited people over for lunch on Easter Monday to put that to bed. My MOJO is back—I hope. The lunch was fantastic. I made Salted tomatoes with tomato and white bean dip…

Five on a Friday
We are heading away today for a long weekend on Kangaroo Island. It will be a weekend of outdoor time, seeing wildlife and the spectacular coastline, and excellent food and drinks. I’ll also be enjoying time just relaxing and plan to have a few of my internet free days. We will celebrate our 29th wedding…
