Sweet Notes and Messes

Popping in for just a short post today. My thoughts are a bit scattered from a team meeting that happened earlier today and I am still trying to sort out how I feel about it. I will spare you my incoherent, frustrated thoughts until later, potentially. Just know it...

Super Bowl Appetizers

Remember how I ran in 60 degree weather this weekend? Well, today it’s snowing. Hard. I’ve said it before, but I have to say it again. This is the best way to do winter: with bright, warm, sunny days thrown in the mix enough so you don’t go crazy in...

Orange Theory Fitness

This morning, I dragged Rob over to an Orange Theory Fitness class. They were offering a free trial class, and I wanted to see what it was all about. Holy moly! I thought I was in decent shape, but Orange Theory basically handed me my butt on a platter. The trainer,...

Types of Running Fuel

When there are no local, or affordable, races on Saturday morning, I am big fan of going for a long run. It just sets a tone for the weekend and helps me relieve the stress of the week. That’s exactly what I did today. Even though it snowed earlier this week, it...

Zucchini Lasagna with Ground Turkey

You know you’re having a hectic day when your desk ends up looking like this: It felt like one thing after another needed my immediate attention today and my desk just piled up before I knew it! I relieved some of the day’s stresses with a 45 minute run...

Taking Advantage of the Weather

It was back to work today! I think 3-day weekends should be a stable in everyone’s life every week. They are seriously so refreshing. There are some schools out there that work 10-hour days, 4 days a week and then have 3-day weekends. Not too shabby since most...

The Accidental Duathlon

Yesterday, I laced up my new shoes and headed out in the sunny Denver morning for a long run. My goal is to slowly build my  mileage, not for anything in particular, but just so in the event of wanting to run another half or full, I have a solid base built up. Since...

How to Deseed a Pomegranate Without the Mess

For some reason, this week just seemed to drag. It must be from getting back into the swing of things after two weeks off for the holidays. Needless to say, I am seriously looking forward to a three day weekend. Last week, I bought a pomegranate on my Sunday shopping...

Assorted Things

Happy Hump Day! What is about Wednesday’s that make me feel like the rest of the work week is actually possible? Just a few random things to share today. Apologies for my non-linear thoughts! Sunday food prep is something I, oddly, adore. It just makes me feel...

Fitbit Wannabe

My assistant principal and one of the math teachers both received a Fitbit over the holidays. I was in awe when they were showing me all the fun things it tracks today. Since I wanted to jump on the wagon, but can’t commit to a Fitbit at the moment, I pulled out...

Polar Prowl 10k Race Recap

On Saturday, I got my lazy butt out of bed and headed to a race for the first time in months. It was about a half hour drive to Arvada to run the Polar Prowl 10k run by All-Out Multisport Productions. They had a 5k and half marathon going on as well, but I wanted to...
