Running through my childhood

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009 by Val

Here’s Mike and I with my grandparents a few years ago Hello!

Today will be a food picture-less day today… again, my apologies! I will be back at home with my trusty camera and laptop tomorrow!

Today I woke up a bit disoriented, until I realized where I was. I had spent the [...]

*** MaRaThOn MoNdAy ***

Monday, June 29th, 2009 by Val

Today is my first posting for my series “Marathon Mondays!” One of my main focuses of this blog is to talk about my experience training for my current (as well as past) marathons. I am NOT an exercise science major, a personal trainer, or an expert in this field. However, having two marathons under my [...]

iWant an iPhone!!!

Sunday, June 28th, 2009 by Val

Hello readers!
I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I know I did! I know I’m a bad blogger for not posting about Saturday ON Saturday, but I am out of town and it’s been tough having internet access.
Yesterday, I woke up bright and early (but not exactly bright-eyed and bushytailed) so that [...]

To be or not to be a vegetarian?

Saturday, June 27th, 2009 by Val

Well, for a while now I had been planning on having a few posts where I can talk about vegetarianism, why I am a vegetarian, and what the benefits are. However, when I saw Angela’s post today on Oh She Glows about how our diet can increase or decrease our likelihood of developing cancer over [...]

Chill and grillin

Saturday, June 27th, 2009 by Val

I have been anxious to get on here to post all day – since I was gone at a social work workshop and didn’t have access to the web! Mike is about to grill me a delicious feast, and afterward I promise I’ll be back on shortly to post about:
* Today* The workshop I [...]

Choc + Cantaloupe = Yuck

Friday, June 26th, 2009 by Val

Just wanted to add to my earlier posting: I don’t have any exciting pix for you all since it was mostly repeats of what I’ve already posted earlier. For dinner, I finished off my cream of zucchini soup with oven-baked onions and toasted walnuts. I will be at a seminar all day tomorrow [...]

SATC (Sweat and the city)

Thursday, June 25th, 2009 by Val

Hi friends!

Today I had a wonderfully relaxing, yet productive day! Despite going to bed late last night (reading blogs is entirely too addictive), I woke up at 6am today for a run. My sweet husband actually volunteered to run with me, even though he usually hates running! We knew it was going to be deathly [...]

Bikram Spinning class??

Thursday, June 25th, 2009 by Val

Wednesday’s posting:
Hi guys! It’s nice to get caught up on here – it’s hard work posting from being on vacation because there are always way more pix than usual and more fun stuff going on – I don’t know how Meghann did it when she was on vacation last week!!
The last four days were chock-full [...]

"What DIDN'T you eat?!?!?"

Thursday, June 25th, 2009 by Val

Yikes!! I just finished uploading all of the pictures I took from Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, and being the novice blogger that I am, it took me FOREVER. Plus I am still trying to figure out how to upload them in the correct order, and after moving them all around by hand, I am out [...]
