Good morning!  The soreness continues.  I think speedwork makes me more sore than lazily running long distances.  Perhaps it's the insane pounding?   For breakfast, I made Egg White French Toast Waffles and I dressed them up with blackberries, half a banana, and slice almonds.  YUM! After lightly toasting two frozen waffles, I dredged them [...]

The Need for SPEED!   Ok, I'm officially addicted to speedwork.  My 5K made me want to push myself harder and harder and get faster and faster.  Of course, I still love long distances, but with my knees being the way they are, my new passion for short and fast is probably a VERY good [...]

I have developed a serious obsession with Weather.com.  Yes, I know 10-day forecasts are BS.  I also know we're 18 days away from W-Day.  BUT, I cannot help but check the forecast obsessively.   Pray for warmth!   It looks like a cold spell is coming in at Christmas, so maybe a warm spell will be [...]

Morning! WOWZA.  I am SORE from yesterday's 5K race.  Not Half Marathon-sore, but tons worse than any of the 10Ks or 15Ks I've done recently. Do you think it could be speed-related?  The back of my thighs are on FIRE!!!   Today is my last Monday at work before the wedding.  Yes -- in total, [...]

After my 5K, I took a nap, showered, and had a Clif Bar. Meghann gave me this today and I was very anxious to taste the elusive Holiday Clif bars!  Verdict -- it was OK. Not amazing like a Spooky Smore Z-Bar or anything, but still very good.   Then, we went to the mall [...]

I came, I ran, I WON! That's right! I WON my first race (well, I won the female division of a 80-person race, but I don't like to minimize accomplishments, so WHATEVER!).    I felt sooo horrible last night (killer headache), and I wasn't sure I would be up to racing today.  I decided I [...]

I am laying on the couch, very sick.  I must be running a fever that makes me agree to pretty much anything, because I just gave Future Husband verbal clearance to buy a 60-something inch flat screen TV.   Oh my.   I really, really hope he doesn't come home with a ginormous box.   [...]

Hey guys! I've felt better, so I'm going to take a blogging break. See you tomorrow for a 10K race recap.   Love, Caitlin

Evening!  Thank GOD it's Friday.... only 5 days of work before I'm freeeeeeeeeee on a glorious month- long vacation!   My mid-afternoon snacks consisted of.... Yogurt and Grape Nuts...   and... another Z-bar (two in one day)! And some cereal (honey bunches of oats)... I filled out insurance forms and marked "Single" for the last [...]

Does the post title remind you of TLC "Crazy Sexy Cool"? If you are too young to remember the AWESOMENESS that was TLC in the early 1990's, I hate you.    :)   Mid-morning snack was the same as yesterday.... Z-bar and tea!   And lunch was a crunchy savory sweet sammie... My sammie contained [...]

Morning!  I feel like such a lazy pants -- I kept telling myself I'm going to go for a morning run, and then my alarm clock goes off and I just lay there, debate, hit snooze, and go back to sleep.  I try all my old tricks -- thinking about how good it would feel [...]

I just got back from my 2nd dress fitting, and my wedding dress fits soooooo well now!  An extra inch of fabric goes a loooong way.  Most importantly -- I can BREATHE and SIT DOWN now!   This fitting was to make sure the new waist fit and to get the bottom hemmed.  While I [...]

The Holistic Doctor Is In!   As you all know, Future Husband, his parents, and I have been diligently working for more than six-months to launch an online supplement superstore. www.TheHolisticDoctorIsIn.com is an extension of his father's (Dr. Cushing) holistic clinic, which Future Husband manages part-time.   More than just an supplement superstore, www.TheHolisticDoctorIsIn.com was [...]
