Yesterday we ran our very last long run before the race. We waited for the warmest part of the day which didn’t ever come or exist. It was 30ish under a dark and gray sky. It was difficult to leave the warmth of the Veggie Van but we are at the very end of our […]

Love is in the air and this time it is for a new sparkling water. La Croix has dazzled me with the most delicious water I have ever had the pleasure of sipping (gulping). It is a coconut essence sparkling water and it comes in a case of 8 cans. I found it while wandering […]

I found a new favorite snack from a company called Kaia Foods. It is organic, sprouted sunflower seeds in various flavors; I have tried and loved both the Sweet Curry and Teriyaki but they have several, including Cocoa Mole. Yum.
