“In skating over thin ice our safety is our speed” -Ralph Waldo Emerson I have always been that girl who closes her eyes and turns into the wind to feel it on my face. The kid who loved math timed tests, thrived on the pressure, lived for the last two minutes of the game down by one…The…

Grilling in February! Houston’s Honey Teriyaki Kabobs!
Nebraska has four distinct seasons. As a runner I find it diversifies my outdoor training and it also diversifies my closet. Any excuse to go shopping for shoes and fall is boot season my favorite! I digress. Where Spring is mild and fragrant, Summers are hot and humid, runs generally end with tight lungs and soaked…

Lafawnduh Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Balls
I love peanut butter. I have been known to come directly home from the grocery store, leave the bags on the counter top, rifle through the bags until I find the jar, unscrew the lid, tear off the foil and inhale the sweet, salty scent for a long moment before eating it out of the…
Recipe? What Recipe?
http://www.foodhism.com/ I love posting my recipes. And let me issue a disclaimer: My recipes are not things you will find in a Betty Crocker Cook Book. I didn’t go to culinary school and I rarely use measuring cups. At the grocery store I have a list for basics, but outside of that it’s basically a free…
Kick You in the Face Clean Pancakes
I have an obsession with pancakes. Making them, eating them, creating new recipes… it’s far and away one of my favorite comfort foods. Pancakes have become somewhat infamous with my circle of friends and family. Notably, my three-year-old once threatened our beautiful Golden Retriever, Molly that she would, “Kick you in the face if you…
Monday
The training calendar just says “run and strength training” on Mondays. Every Monday for as long as I can remember it’s said that. Outside of my long runs, Monday is my favorite training day. I ran my fastest single mile on a Monday, my fastest training run 10K on a Monday, my first run after my second…
Happy Valentine’s Day…
I love holidays. All of them. Every single one. I don’t care if Hallmark and other companies diabolically collaborate on these days to extract as many dollars out of us as possible. I love the spirit of the days, how people seem to smile a bit more, meet the eyes of strangers, take a reflective…
The Brick
Saturday is always long run day. You’ve all heard me talk about the half marathons, the Zen runs, the hours I spend just enjoying my workouts. Saturday I did a brick. Yes, a brick. What the heck is a brick? Well, it’s putting workouts back to back so your workouts tend to be longer and more…
J&J Protein Bars
In honor of my good friends, Jamie and Jim, and their combined sweet tooth, I have put together a fantastic recipe for homemade protein bars that are more like brownies than bars. Believe me when I tell you that at 200 calories for two large bars you’ll satisfy your sweet tooth, keep it clean, and…
