September Favorites

1. Well, it probably won’t come as a surprise that one of my favorite things this month were the National Parks. I visited Zion, Bryce, Arches, Canyonlands and Yosemite in the last couple of weeks and I also saw a couple of State Parks and other natural beauties (including Lower Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend (my favorite!),…

TotR | How I became a morning runner

TotR | How I became a morning runner

Remember when I said that ‘no way in hell’ could I ever work out before work in the morning? I was pretty set on the fact that I am an afternoon/evening runner and that there was no way I could switch to a morning workout. Well, turns out, that was then and this is now:…

Friday Five | Post-run snacks & meals

Friday Five | Post-run snacks & meals

I will admit, part of what is great about running is the post-run snack/meal. I would lie if I said that I don’t appreciate the extra calories I can allocate after a hard workout, besides the fact that refueling right after a workout is so important for recovery. Here are some of my favorite go-to…

Thinking Out Loud #5

Thinking Out Loud #5

+ I had planned to write a Labor Day Weekend recap, but honestly, there wasn’t much to recap (because we didn’t do anything exciting, besides enjoying a very laid-back weekend), so the few little highlights I will mention here. + It was super-smoky/hazy in Sacramento last weekend, mostly due to the wildfires around the state,…

What I read in August

Goodbye, Vitamin by Rachel Khong (★★★☆☆) This book has really high reviews and I wanted to like it, but as so often with books that touch on a serious subject, it didn’t go deep enough for me. I was expecting something more, … different…? I don’t know. The story was a little disjointed and random…

Hello September

Hello September

Goodness, it’s September. I am so. not. ready. And almost-fall doesn’t seem to be on board either, because we have a continuing excessive heat warning in effect for the next few days!  I am not about to complain, because having flood waters in your house is infinitely worse, but it’s just another reminder that the…
