So I of course don’t know if it is actually Artemis’ birthday but I got her 2 years ago in November so I picked a day and called it her birthday because I don’t remember the exact day I got her. We went for a 2 mile run and they I harassed her all night.
Check out that best time!!!! It was only for a few seconds but that is my fastest time ever!! That is probably when I ran across the street before the cars came hahahaha!
After my run, I was a little sweaty but it felt good!
Artemis had a ball, but at this point she was really ready to get back home. She has a leash on your just can’t see it with my awesome quality of photography hahahaha.
Back to trying to have some juice in the morning!!!! Carrot apple is my jam!
So I just finished season 5 of Grimm last night (I know I am behind like always) and I go to press play on season 6 (on amazon prime) and it costs money!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!! Seasons 1-5 are included with amazing prime but not season 6. I HATE when they do that! Though I guess it makes sense since it just aired this year. But now I either have to buy an episode here and there or wait and see if it drops for free. I will also check the other TV sites we have like Netflix and Hulu. Fingers crossed.

Do you watch Grimm?
What is your fav show right now?
Has winter hit where you are? How are your workouts fairing if it has?
I have a feeling this winter is going to be very difficult for me training wise if I don’t find a cheap gym. I can run in the cold (I don’t love it but I can) but when its cold AND raining its hard for me to get my butt out the door.
This last Saturday my boyfriend and I ran our first race together. We didn’t have high hopes going in since neither of us had trained enough and there were going to be some hills.
We are not fans of getting up early.
What can I say about this race except that it was small which was nice and off the main road so we didn’t worry too much about cars. Their fuel stations were just ok in my opinion but I am used to bigger races with bigger sponsors so in the future I would just need to plan better.
The race was on sort of back mountain roads so trail running shoes would have been better because the roads were all chewed up from snow. I got blisters on my blisters.
The course was beautiful and shaded which made all the difference.
Our pace was ok, not great but not horrible for a hilly run for me.
As you can see I started off strong and really faded toward the end hahaha
Oh the hills!!!!!!! The entire race was a series of ups and downs. There was no flat, this race just wiped me out.
Fun wood carved medals, though Brandon is disappointed we didn’t get t-shirts, he likes those more than the medals.
Overall it was fun and I am glad we did it but I wanted to cry the last 3 miles because I was so tired and my body hurt so bad.
We know to train better for the next one!
Oh and if you are a slow runner and don’t like being at the back of the pack don’t run this race, We crossed the finish line with only 4 people behind us….yes only 4. This was a small race of fast runners hahaha.
Can you suffer from the pain of both? I ate way too much junk this weekend and was bloated for at least half the weekend and tonight I ran 5 miles then walked for another 30.
Tomorrow I need to do some serious stretching and foam rolling (aka tourture). My right hip (IT band) is SUPER tight so my hip is hurting and it radiates down my thigh to my knee. So foam rolling is a big to do for me tomorrow……or today since its after midnight.
The boyfriend and I were seriously lazy this weekend, we watched at least 8 movies and some Game of Thrones episodes. But it was seriously needed for me since I was traveling the last 2 weekends.
Some random stuff from this week:
My walk to class from the back parking lot
Gotta love Oregon lol
The boyfriend suggested running a marathon together in October, he was thinking Portland marathon until I looked it up and the cost is $130!! Too rich for our current blood so I’m looking at other options. But i did look up some training plans on Google
Then i scrapped them and made my own hahaha.
Tonight was the premier of a new TV show
I used the 2 hour premier to distract me while I ran.
Yep, i run like a turtle.
Thank goodness for TVs on your treadmill.
When I got home I had some leftover sushi from yesterday’s dinner
It was good.
And now it’s pass out time.
Goodnight!!!!
Do you like sushi?
Last weekend I was in Long beach, CA for my grandmas birthday and this weekend thr bf and I took a little road trip to Long Beach, WA.
This week I did all my training for my new floating concierge position. I worked Friday morning then met the bf at my place and we headed to Washington.
Complete with doggie and all!! He wasn’t too happy about the traffic hahahahaha
We got a little dog friendly motel room right on the beach. Went for a little run Saturday morning
After our little run we headed into town for lunch and some exploring
Super stoked to see this hahahahaha
And got the biggest ice cream cone ever!!
Even sharing it with the bf I couldn’t finish it!
It was a fun quick trip, I had to be back by mid-day Sunday so I could train that night.
This morning I had an amazing breakfast
12 grain toast with a 2 egg omelet that had onions and Parmesan cheese and an orange. Mmmm I’m hungry just thinking about it.
Then I rode the trimet/max around town getting down the routes from my place to the places I would concierge at. Parking downtown is horribly priced.
It was an interesting day lol.
And tonight I hit the gym to do 3 miles while watching The Bachelor
And a little Veronica Mars before bed
Let’s see Thursday i had class the hit the gym to train with my friend. After strength training we hit the treadmills, i watched Grey’s Anatomy and ran
I did intervals
Friday the boyfriend came over, we took Artemis to the dog park the ran some errands.
We went out to dinner and got Thai food. I got pineapple fried rice and he got pad thai……..they put curry in my pineapple fried rice!!!!! That was so not listed in the ingredients and I am not a big fan of curry, thankfully the boyfriend is and he very gallantly traded dinner with me. Afterwards we hit the bar for a pre-movie cocktail, this was probably my second drink of the year hahahahaha, I don’t drink much. Then we headed to the movie and saw Fifty Shades Darker. I enjoyed it.
Saturday I made us chips and dip, a delicious but simple dip my mom always made. Cream cheese on the bottom then mild diced green chilis add chili on top of that and cheese on top of that and bake in the oven at 375-400 until the sides bubble.
Then we went mini-golfing
He completely decimated me.
Saturday night we made homemade pizzas
I am also babysitting my roommates dog this weekend, he says hi
Today was relaxing. We met my friend at the park and went for a run
I am quite happy, my goal for the week was 9 miles and my weekly total was 10.6!!
That brings my yearly total to 41.6.
My goal for next week is 12 miles.
And now it’s study time!!! My midterm is on Tuesday, wish me luck!!!!!
How was your weekend?
No I don’t suffer from insomnia on a regular basis, thank goodness!!!
It only happens like once ever few months, adulting catches up and my brain won’t shut off. I have mad respect for people who function on little sleep. I LOVE my sleep and usually get 7-9 hours.
Yowza it is pouring outside right now.
Here is a little recap of the last few days
I went on a mini and i emphasize the word mini cleaning spree.
Made some yummy food.
Semi- homemade pizza. Here is my little tip: put your toppings on first then out your cheese on so you out less on
I love pineapple juice
These are yummy.
And I got in a short run after my strength training on Tuesday night
Mix in a lot of studying and that is the majority of my week.
What is your favorite meal?
I have too many to list
Hi!!
This time last year I was in Hawaii
And now I am waiting to see if this rain turns to snow tonight hahahaha a little different.
Great weekend though
I made chicken terriyaki bowls with the boyfriend Friday night
And watched Inferno. I love Dan Browns novels and am super excited that he is working on another story in the Robert Langdon series!
Saturday the boyfriend and I took a little roadtrip to Corvallis to visit his Alma Mater
We walked around and drove around. Visited my grandmas old house
I spent at least a week here every summer.
We kept up pur streak of trying pizza places, we tried American dream pizza
It looks amazing but sadly neither of us were very impressed with this pizza. It seemed like they just cooked a cheese pizza then put the toppings on it after. Don’t need to ever return there.
After we got home the bf and I hit the cheap movie theater near me for a double feature. A Dog’s Purpose and The Space Between Us, both totally cute.
In other news the boyfriend broke down and bought a Garmin!!! His is the next generation after mine so the heart rate monitor is built in. It’s pretty cool and now we are a Garmin couple lol
I made pasta with chicken, tomato and basil for meal prep this week and sent some with the bf for his lunch this week of course.
I had some leftover pasta so dinner was a super simple cheese and basil pasta
It was actually pretty delicious
Picked up something yummy to satisfy my sweet cravings
Last weeks running total was 6.6 miles.
This years running total thus far, 31 miles
Going to shoot for 9 miles this week. Slowly increasing
How was your weekend?
How are you doing workout wise this year?
Favorite pizza topping?
Mine is pineapple and onion
Good morning!!! Happy Friday!!!
As i write this I am sitting here drinking my coffee out of the mug my man made me and eating a bagel
And of course catching up on last night’s Grey’s Anatomy

This morning i did a little AM yoga
This was basic beginner yoga and it hurt. I know it’s morning so I’m stiff from sleeping but it has also been a while since I’ve done yoga, time to get back to it!!!!
Last night was my 3rd day in a row of running.
Thankfully my partner got to the gym early and I had to stop so we could pump some iron. I was definitely fatigued last night.
After a long workout I got my splurge meal
Why does crappy crappy fast food have to taste so good?
Before the gym I had class yesterday, it went well, then I had an interview for an on call part time position. They are going to schedule a 2nd interview so fingers crossed.
Snacks from yesterday
My crazy dog
Wednesday I got a run in
Awesome post workout snack
I love food in case you haven’t noticed, not always the best food for me but I try.
How has your week been?
What is your favorite food?
