It’s another Thursday and I am linking up with Amanda from Running with Spoons for Thinking Out Loud for some random thoughts! + If you’ve been watching the news and are devastated by all the images from flooded Texas and you don’t understand why a city like Houston wasn’t prepared for a storm like Harvey, this…
1. I’ve sung my praises about the Runtastic Running app before and I have recently started using a ‘sister-app’, which is called Runtastic Results. It’s an app that customizes a strength training plan around your fitness level, which you can then use in conjunction with your running training. So far, I am pretty happy with…
Since we’re still dealing with triple digit temperatures here in the Central Valley, we’re also still trying to keep our cooking to a minimum and use stove and oven as sparingly as possible. J and I both are fans of chicken salad but have usually just made it as chicken salad sandwiches with oven fries….
The first time, someone saw that big shiny thing on my kitchen sideboard, I think they commented what a “huge badass coffee maker” that was. Ha. I do like my coffee, but I don’t have a caffeine addiction. What they were looking at was my Berkey water filter*. I meant to blog about this in…

A few weeks ago, two Chinese tourists posed in front of the Berlin Reichstag and snapped pictures giving the nazi salute. They were arrested. I’ve seen some people on Facebook comment on the news article expressing that they thought that arresting them was a bit harsh, that they were just joking around. Well, I didn’t…
As I mentioned last week, I had been thinking about baking something for the weekend. Baking makes everything better and after the news that came out of Charlotteville on Saturday, I definitely needed something ‘to make things (just a tiny bit) better’, if only to soothe my aching heart. Obviously, there is much more to…
I am linking up with Running on Happy and Fairytales and Fitness for the Friday Five 2.0 Linkup today and we’re talking about running with family and friends. It’s pretty amazing, while I’ve been active all my life, my friend Susi inspired me to pick up running (in a more serious manner) and then, in…
