I Got Nothing

Do any of you non- food bloggers ever wish you were a food blogger?

I don’t really want to photograph my food and if I did this blog would be a total snooze-fest.  Every breakfast would be the same: pumpkin peanut butter oats & coffee.

However, when I can’t think of anything to blog about, I wish I were a food blogger. Then I could craft a nice long excuse (along with photos of course) of why I needed to eat yet another cupcake or ice cream filled donut.

Typically when I can’t think of anything else to write I…

post a play-list,

So here you go, whether you like it or not. =)

Or tell you how my training is going,

My training is going okay-ish. Yesterday I had a tough run and called it short at 5.5 miles. No worries though, I plan to tackle that long run this weekend.

Or make a silly video.

Now it’s your turn to finish the sentence. Typically when I can’t think of anything else to write I…

When I Grow Up

Yesterday I asked “If you could have any career in the world without having to go back to school what would you choose? It seems more than one of you would be a Country Music Star. Well, now it’s my turn to answer the question. But first a little info.

On February 9th I signed up for updates from the US Department of Health and Human Services. In just over a months time I received 40 emails regarding food products that have been recalled.

If you’ve watched Food Inc. ( I still haven’t) or read the Omnivore’s Dilemma, you know that there is really something wrong with food regulation and food systems in the US.

I really don’t know much about food safety or exactly how food is regulated. I also don’t know anything about all the lobbying groups that effect decisions that are made by the FDA. However, something needs to change.

What I do know is that if I could snap my fingers and have any job in the world I would want a job in food policy.

Taking Advice

Before I forget yet again, the winner of the Core Fusion DVD is Heather of Side of Sneakers. Heather, please send me your mailing address so that I can send you your DVD.

The correct answer to the Pop Quiz is psoas, piriformis, and hamstrings.

Speaking of those three glorious body parts, my husband advised that I postpone my 8-miler until tomorrow morning. I’m really glad I took his advice. I went for a walk instead. During my walk I could tell that I needed to wait to run until tomorrow.

It was really hard not to stick to my training schedule, but one of the most important plans about a training schedule is the ability to be flexible. I can’t wait to run in the morning.

Here are the next two races on my calender for the spring:

April 3: Scotland Run 10K

April 25th, More 1/2 Marathon
