Warning: drinking will cause you to think that ice cream is good for your diet.

diet, travel / 6 Comments

Me: “I’d like some vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries on top, please.”Room service: “I’m sorry; we don’t have that on our menu.”Me: “But you serve it in the bar downstairs!”Room service: “Oh… okay, we’ll have it to you within the next thirty minutes!” That’s a pretty amazing guarantee. Do you think it would work if I called and requested a whole oven-roasted turkey? Also, does it count as breaking my diet if I was on the treadmill while having this conversation?

Healthy Meal: Grilled Swordfish with Couscous and Salad

cooking, travel / 14 Comments

I haven’t posted a healthy meal in a very long time, mostly because I’m only home two or three days a month lately. The rest of my time is spent in various hotel rooms with no kitchenettes or other cooking methods. However, I am sick and tired of the weight I’m gaining from eating out all the time and asking for steamed veggies and getting them drenched in butter “because I’m not allergic.” So how am I able to cook this meal? With a little inspiration from WikiHow, I’ll show you. First, a quick list of things I brought from …

My next crazy adventure

running, travel / 12 Comments

So, forget the heat training and forget Vegas. I have new plans for the weekend of June 28, and they involve pirates, cross-country travel, and my second marathon! That’s right, the Seafair Marathon is my newest crazy challenge idea. It’s also one of my last opportunities to do a marathon before September, as there are very few marathons (except Running With the Devil) in the summer due to the heat.

Race Report: Albany CrossFit 5K

running, travel / 17 Comments

I was waiting to post this report until results came in, but they’re still not up yet, so I’ll post now and update later when I find out my official time and get the pics. Right after posting my last race report, I headed off to my next race! Well, actually I headed over to my dad’s house to pick up my little sister. She’s four years old (but will be five on Monday), and was so excited to come watch me race that she came running out the front door of the house, tripped on a power drill cord …
