The Husband looks older and wiser since I saw him last (about 8 days ago)! He also has a new haircut! 
He’s the kind of person who changes their hair every time they cut it – on the other hand, I never change my hair! I feel like we’ve been apart forever.
Before he got back from work, I went on a quickie run. I listened to my iPod for the first two miles and then decided I would much rather run in silence. The sound of my feet on the pavement and my labored breathing put me into such a trance… the run was great!
- Distance: 3.0 miles
- Duration: 29:31
- Mile 1: 9:58
- Mile 2: 9:53
- Mile 3: 9:22
Came home and eat 2 spoonfuls of Barney Butter:
And then I put together a fast Mexican dinner:
Three blue corn organic tacos stuffed with grilled mushrooms, green peppers, onions, salsa, kidney beans, and cheese.
And 1 cup of brown rice.
I HOPE I can stay awake to catch up on Sunday’s episode of Big Love. This season is sooo good (it’s an HBO show about polygamist… weird premise, but it works!).
Goodnight!

I need to catch up on Big Love too! I missed the episode last night because of the Super Bowl. Good thing we have HBO on demand
Silent runs are really nice to clear your head sometimes
Welcome back to your home and to your honey. I hate when my bf gets his haircut…… I never said that.
Yum tacos!
I love Big Love — thanks for reminding me there was a new ep on last night. I don’t get Showtime or HBO but thanks to the Internet, can watch all those awesome shows online.
(shhhh)
My husband and I are the opposite- I’m always changing my hair and his never changes. Opposites attract!
I like running in silence too! Something about the sound of my feet and my breathing just makes me feel great.
I LOVE Big Love! I stopped watching it after the first season, but I keep meaning to put it on my Netflix queue!
Sometimes silent runs are the best!
Glad you had such a good run! Running in silence is amazing. Everything is so… real.
Welcome home!
Big Love is one of my favorites too. I love Ginnifer Goodwin’s character… soo cute!
I don’t have HBO but I’ve been catching up on the early seasons of Big Love on DVD – such a good show.
Enjoy reuniting with the husband!
I just got some Barney Butter today! It’s delish!! I’ve had about 8 spoonfuls today I think! I need to cool it so it lasts a long time!
I love Big Love! I just finished the third season on DVD. I don’t have cable so I can’t wait for the 4th season to come out. Have a great night!
I never run without my iPod because I don’t think I could. Both my parents ran the Marine Corps marathon before iPods were invented and I am always in awe when I think about 26.2 miles with NO music. One day, my iPod will run out of power and I’ll have to try it out
Let me just say, Sunday’s episode kept me on my toes THE WHOLE TIME. There were a few laughs, too… gotta love that Utah humor. Specially since I live here!
Love silent runs, I don’t do them often enough, probably 25% of the time. My 100 minute run on Friday was silent except for the occassional comment from Bud.
I absolutely hate to run in silence. I don’t know what it is…
I never run with music! Everyone thinks I’m so weird.
i’ve never had barney butter, but i’ve heard it’s amazing! i love silent trance run like the one you had
I love silent runs. I actually stopped running outdoors with music. I found that it actually threw me off because I wanted to match my speed/breathing to the music tempo. I can get into the groove better without it. That being said, it’s definitely a necessity on the treadmill! God those things can get mind-numbingly boring.
wheres the shot glasses for those tacos?!
haha i was sooo hungry and lazy that i just threw everything on the plate. probably the ugliest presentation on the blog in 1.5 years!
Tacos look awesome! Enjoy catching up with your hubby, I am sure the pups missed him too!
Love spoonfuls of nut butter as snacks
I love Big Love! I love Margene because she is just so adorable but Nikki’s character is my favorite…can we say complex??
I loooove big love! gotta catch up on sunday’s episode as well. thanks for reminding me!
Mmm, your tacos look muy yummy! So simple too, which is a plus. Anything with beans and rice thrown in the mix works for me! Always satisfying.

I’ve been a bit disappointed with this season of Big Love. I still adore the show though!
Those tacos look tasty, I did something similar with spur-of-the moment enchiladas tonight. Yum! I like beans in Mexican food better than meat, it brings out the spices better. I like silent runs sometimes too, it’s nice to actually zone out and notice your surroundings once in awhile. I always see something new, even if I’m running a path I’ve run 10000x before!
Silent runs can be SO comforting! I bought hard taco shells for the first time that I have yet to use – love the idea of adding beans with rice on the side instead of taco meat.
One of the main actresses is Big Love is from my town! Chloe Sevigny, she grew up next to my best friend! Totally prefer running in silence as well…
I’m pretty boring when it comes to cutting my hair too. It would be fun to see a collection of the husband’s hairdo’s : )
I will never do anything drastic to my hair, always too scared! I wish I could just change it without thinking twice about it!
omggggggg I thought you said you and hus had a quickie. I guess we know where my mind is!
Hahaha I saw that too!
Everyone I know loves the show Big Love. I think I need to give it another chance. I watched the first episode and didn’t get into it, but maybe it takes a couple more …
You should show a pic of the hubby’s new hair!!
he is sooo camera shy. or i would.
I just started watching it a few months ago when HBO was doing reruns and I am now watching it every week instead of Desperate Housewives; I love it!
I wish I had the courage to change my hair, but I’m scurred! lol
Big Love is awesome! And- your dinner looked delicious
I was just wondering what type of service you use for this blog? It has such a good design, so I was wondering if there is a page where I can start my own blog with this type of design?
What is Big Love? I’ve never heard of it! Hhaha sometimes I feel so lost in these posts
Glad you had a good run
it’s an HBO show – its good!
Big Love was amazing. We have every season and are nuts about it. I know you like Twilight, but do you like True Blood? It is the reason I could never get into Twilight. HBO has amazing shows.
i tried watching it but i never got into it for some reason.
I love the running trance
Because, before you know it, you look to see how many miles you’ve done and BAM your already or nearly done..it’s great 
Go spend some time with the hubby! 
When I was a runner, I only ever ran in silence. I always enjoyed hearing the sound of my feet and the sound of my breath. Kind of makes me miss running looking back, actually.
Wow I don’t know if I could run in silence. My music is what pumps me up and keeps me going!
(Of course, I usually run on a treadmill. I’m sure nature noises would be much more pleasant than a gym background.
)
I love Big Love! I really need to catch up though….
awww
reuninted & it feels so good! hehe
great job on the run!
Wow, I’m not sure if I could run without music! My thoughts can only entertain me for so long…
Wheres the taco shot glasses?! lol
I used to watch Big Love religiously, somehow got away from it the past couple seasons. I really want to try to get back into it though. Props on the silent running, I can never do that.
Glad you enjoyed your run!! I’ve never seen Big Love but I keep hearing how good it is…
I totally understand running without music. Sometimes I just need to not be distracted and really focus. It’s very peaceful.
I didn’t like Sunday’s episode that much! But I like where the whole season is leading. I’m totally addicted to that show!
I love how you sub the beans for meat. it is such an easy substitution that I too frequently remember. I am definitely going to be eating some bean tacos soon….if I remember.
Welcome back!
I have never been able to work out for long without music. It is just so boring to me! I can kick it hard with the right tunes though!
I would love to start meditating/doing yoga more, but my mind just wanders constantly.
What a fun, fast, healthy dinner! I love what you manage to throw together!
Yummy tacos! But where are the shot glasses?! Hah
Jenna
I need some hearty bean taco’s in my life.I think I’ll have to try these this week.
