Weekly Workout/Training in Review 5/8-5/14

Hola hola! Last week was a good week, even though I did not fit in all my runs in (I was aiming for 3, ran 2).  I'm going to be stricter about my workouts in the next few weeks. I'm publishing this a little late, so I'll link up with everyone next week.   Monday 5/8 - Rest Day  Sore from the weekend. Particularly my calves/shins.  Tuesday 5/9 - Rest Day  Same as above.  Wednesday 5/10 - Rest Day  This…

Tasty Thursday – Ham Egg Cups

Egg cups....they are all over the interwebs! I've been drooling eyeing all the egg cup pics on Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook.  This past weekend I decided to mix it up a bit and make my own version of the Ham Egg Cups.  They are so easy to make, enjoy! [yumprint-recipe id='3'] Have you made egg cups before?

Tasty Thursday – Hawaiian Eats

Welcome to the Hawaiian edition of Tasty Thursday.  It has been awhile since my last Tasty Thursday - Travel Edition post (Austin Eats).  Hope you enjoy, I haven't shared as many food photos in my last few posts so I hope this makes up for it :)  Island Vintage Shave Ice This was my first "meal" after checking in the hotel.  Prior to my trip I researched the "Best Hawaiian Shave Ice in Waikiki" and Island Vintage Shave Ice popped up.…

Weekly Workout/Training in Review 4/24-4/30

Hello! I am back in DC after a quick trip to the Aloha State.  Cliff had a work trip, so I tagged along and teleworked for the week (air mileage points for the win).  I worked my same east coast hours, which meant I was up from 2:30AM-11:00AM Hawaiian Time.  That left me a half a day to explore Waikiki/Honolulu (I usually went to bed around 7:00PM-8:00PM).  I'm writing this post a little late, so I missed the linkups. I'll rejoin them next…

Weekly Workout/Training in Review 4/17-4/23

Happy Monday! First, congrats to my high school elementary school buddy Tricia on her BQ at the Coastal Delaware Marathon! Second, congrats to Jackie on her win at the GW Parkway Classic 5K.  They are both a great source of motivation.  Speaking of inspiring, did anyone watch the London Marathon this past weekend?  Monday 4/17 - Rest Day  Not running related, but have you guys ever used Amazon Locker? I have one close to work so I send packages here to avoid package theft #citylife.…

2016 St. Jude Memphis Half Marathon Race Recap

The 2016 St. Jude Memphis Memphis Half Marathon  has been on my running bucket list ever since my friend Gerri introduced it to me (Gerri and her sister Becca attended college in Memphis) .  The proceeds from the race + St. Judes Hero fundraiser go to the hospital.   Source: St. Jude Memphis Memphis Half Marathon The half marathon sells out quickly, so I made sure to sign up when registration opened in June.  My friend Emily and her co-worker/friend Olamide also signed up for the…

Weekly Workout/Training in Review 4/10-4/16

Hi everyone! I am back with my Weekly Workout/Training in Review posts now that my foot is finally feeling better and have been able to run consistently the past couple of weeks.  January-March brought a cold, an achy foot (re-injured it in Bermuda - more on that in my Bermuda recap post), and walking pneumonia (had no idea that existed).  I'm ready to get back at it, but it feels like I am starting all over again (I'm about 3-4 minutes/mile slower from a…

German Vacation Recap – Munich and Oktoberfest – Part 5

Missed Part 1? Part 2? Part3? Part 4?   Here it is, six months later, the last recap! I remember when I signed up for the Berlin Marathon I asked Cliff if he was interested in joining me, "of course".  Then I told him that Oktoberfest would still be going on, "even better"...or something like that.  After all it is a beer lovers ultimate bucket list destination.  For those who are not familiar with Oktoberfest, it is the world's largest beer festival held annually…

German Vacation Recap – Dachau and Munich – Part 4

Missed Part 1? Part 2? Part3?  The last leg of our German road trip took us from Fussen to Munich.  We woke up Wednesday morning, packed, checked out of the hotel, and stopped by the bäckerei (bakery) for some breakfast goodies <-ALL the breads.  I wish there were more bakeries at home, I guess Panera or Au Bon Pain would be comparable, but they are not the same....I can't pinpoint it, perhaps the charm factor? Anyways, croissants and danishes in hand we…
