Vanilla Chia Pudding

Chia pudding is by far one of my favorite quick and easy breakfast options. I think it has to do something with preparing it the night before and in the morning it’s just waiting there for me to devour. A simple breakfast pudding that resembles the consistency of tapioca and it just happens to be delicious. 

Gateway to the Smokies Half Marathon

Remember in my last post when I pointed out that I was already itching for another race? Well, I wasn't kidding. I didn't have another race scheduled until October and man did that seem like forever away, so, I knew I needed to figure something out and believe me when I say, it wasn't easy.

Gasparilla Distance Classic 15K Recap

I apologize for the serious lack of posting. Where the heck did the time go? Oh wait, I know…school, work, and training. I still can’t believe it’s been 8 weeks though. I really wanted to keep all of you updated throughout my training for the Gasparilla Distance Classic, boo. I promise I will be better next time around.

Training: Week 1

This week is my first week of eight in training for the Gasparilla Distance Classic 15K. And although this week hasn’t officially come to an end, I thought I’d post a quick recap of what it consist of thus far.

Gasparilla Distance Classic 15K

Roughly, about a year ago, I fixed my heart on running a half marathon. I even registered for the Denver Rock ‘n’ Roll Half for 2014 but with the move back to Florida I couldn’t make it happen. But that’s okay. I already have plans to run a half marathon in November of 2015 and to hold myself over I have decided to run a 15K (9.32 miles) in February at the Gasparilla Distance Classic in Tampa.

I searched the internet high and low for a training plan that would fit my needs; no luck there. There are two things that I love most about the weekends, exploring breweries on Friday night and hitting the farmer’s market with a latte in hand on Saturday morning.

My Move Back "HOME" to Florida: Part 1 Introduction

Sometimes I still wonder why I left the colorful state of Colorado. Days like today when I just want to grab my camera, camelback, and hiking boots, hop in the Jeep and head straight for a trail-head. I feel like I found a bit of myself out there. But- and even though I miss that state dearly- I will never regret the trade-off for it all; family and friends. Not to mention my recent acceptance into a Respiratory Therapy program that I am utterly thrilled about.

Avocado Toast

One of my favorite on-the-go breakfast options is just this, an english muffin topped with cream cheese and avocado; avocado toast if you will. Yes, it's a bit stretch to call it the best breakfast ever, but it's got to rank up there. It's quick and easy, not to mention creamy and crunchy!
