Two recipe posts in a row means I haven’t blogged in a week, but there are reasons for that. Would you believe me if I told you that a Sunday afternoon trip to the emergency room with a collapsed congregant {she is fine now}, a bit of a health scare and unexpected trip to my… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Swiss Chard “Sushi” & Triathlon Countdown
The alarm went off at 4am. We were out of bed a few minutes later and eating breakfast ~ ugh. A rice cake with peanut butter and honey, a banana, some regular H20 and a few swigs of Vitamin Water. I’d rather eat nothing until the race is over, but I know the fuel and… Read More Half Marathon #5 & Running Therapy
The two days of silence were wonderful! I started each day with a morning run and fruit and veggie smoothie of my choosing out of a cookbook that I haven’t had time to experiment with much. Fun! And then I sat. Sat on the couch and read my Bible, prayed in my journal. Sat and read… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Running Recovery Smoothie
Cooper completed his final cross country race by earning himself a new personal record. He ran his 5K in 22:46 which is great for him! His team swept the championship by taking 1st place in JV girls and boys, as well as Varsity boys and girls. Coop had sort of a love-hate relationship with cross… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Cross Country, Coconut & Red Lentil Curry
We completed another half-marathon about 3 weeks ago! It was Robert’s second and my third. He had to miss last year’s because of foot and knee injuries, but thankfully, he has recovered almost completely, and was able to run again this year. It was definitely an answered prayer, and we were so grateful, as it… Read More The Race THAT IS set before us…
It is just so beautiful here now! The leaves are at peak colors, it’s breezy today, the sky is blue, and it’s a perfect 65 degrees. (Perfect for SOME people, that is. My perfect is more like 85 degrees, but Robert simply loves to pull on his fleece jackets.) We went for a 6… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Pumpkin Love Smoothie
3:45 a.m. ~ Wake up and look at alarm clock which will go off in 15 minutes. Lay there and wonder if I actually got any sleep (I did!), and then turn it off so it doesn’t wake Robert up. He’s got a big day of preaching, teaching, meeting, and greeting ahead of him! 3:55… Read More Swim, Bike, Run = Fun!
Well, actually we really don’t TRY to do that, but this season seems to bring a lot of days like this. Honestly, the season of raising children seems to bring a lot of days like this, and I’d be lying if I said that I never dream about the end of that season. (If there… Read More Because We Like To Pack It All In To 12 hrs….
The weather couldn’t have been more perfect for the half marathon on Saturday! Last year’s half marathon in Lowell, MA was in rain and snow. We finished the race, grabbed food from the food tent, bundled up and got to the car as fast as we possibly could. This year we enjoyed hanging out in… Read More Hartford Half Highlights & Hell-tels
I’m pretty sure this was the term my friend Jess used to describe the not-fun-at-all foot injury that some runners may experience at one time or another in their running careers. It’s real name is plantar fasciitis and unfortunately, we have a case of it here at the Krum house. And it’s not me. It’s… Read More Plantar Nasty-Nitis
