Yesterday morning was a wonderful, wonderful day. I got to return this precious guy to his family. In case you missed it, our neighbors saved a dog from the pouring rain and from getting hit on the highway. They couldn’t keep him in their rental, so Jake and I took him overnight. He is the…
I threw chili goodness into the crockpot yesterday morning for dinner. I LOVE chili weather. Knowing that you have chili in the crockpot just makes things feel cozy – anyone else feel that way? I decided to put my run off until the afternoon, so I had breakfast and then waited three hours before running.…
Wow, this weekend flew by. Jake and I sat down at our kitchen table last night to work on a few things and couldn’t believe it was already Sunday. Time just keeps going by faster and faster. Friday morning I knocked out my last long run for this training cycle. Jake got up and rode…
When we did our landscaping, we got three bushes of Dragon’s Breath. They are the coolest looking plants! Buuuut, we had no idea how big they were going to get…they have taken over our front landscaping! I love it, so I’m not upset about it, but we are going to have to replant some of…
We had some eggs and veggies to eat up, so I didn’t prep breakfast until yesterday morning. I made Jake an egg and veggie burrito before he left for work, then I threw together an egg casserole with broccoli, meatless veggie sausage (which is my all-time favorite) and goat cheese. It turned out super good!…
Jake and I both slept in again until about 7 yesterday. That has been super nice! I needed to get another workout run in, so I had a waffle and answered emails before I headed out. We are helping with a race this weekend, so I moved some of my runs around again. I’ll do…
I shared about the start of Jake’s race yesterday, so today will pick up from there. The first time we saw Jake was at mile 16.4. Everything about this hundred was different than his last. He was fueling differently, he had different goals, he was racing. His last hundred (part 1 here, part 2 here),…
Wow. What an incredible weekend! I’m going to split the weekend into two posts, so today will cover Friday and the race start, and tomorrow will cover the rest of the race, the finish, and getting home! I could keep you all in suspense….but since I’m nice, I won’t. ; ) Jake CRUSHED his hundred.…
I ran some last minute errands for Jake while he was at work yesterday. First stop, tire rotation. I had all of the beverages with me and finally got started reading Kara’s new book. I love it so far! I also got the oil changed and filled our truck up with gas – we are…
Welp, after my brutally awful 10 miles, I came home and made myself a massive breakfast taco. It was everything I could’ve ever hoped for – mushrooms, onions, spinach, eggs, and cheese. Mmmm. Oh, and ALL the hot sauce. After breakfast, I got caught up on ALL grading. Guys, that’s huge. I’m teaching four online…
