I'm lucky enough to have had an office day today so no missed work (except for when I am blogging on my lunch break...Now I have to eat while I work!).
Currently I'm trying to organize my messy desk, prepare soup (garlicky ginger carrot-YUM! I'll be sure to post pictrures). The best part of the soup is going to be the carmelized balsamic onions that I use for garnish. SO EXCITED!
My favorite foods are vegetables and I find that this time of year it's so hard when the local selections are slim to none and even the kale is less hearty than I'd like. I mean, it's not easy for me to choose produce that was farmed half a world away. It makes me feel so guilty. Such a catch-22 you know?
Aside from that I'm setting up my side-blog. I'll be blogging for the next two weeks about my journey towards my first race. I'll be posting when I train, how I train, the emotions behind it. Thats a big part because I'm coming from a place where the only time I ran was if I was being chased! Ha- so much for that attitude. It's kind of scary coming out of my comfort zone- I've changed my whole body chemistry (I am quite alkaline, where as in my earlier 20's acidic acidic acidic. Feh.) as well as my attitude towards fitness; but running a race is something I've never done. I'm just not that competitive- with one exception. I compete with myself. And thats what this is really about. Getting over road blocks, getting over myself, and getting to the finish line. Ooh, thats a really good "about" line. Maybe I'll use that.
In other news, I am planning on using this weekend to set up my etsy shop, work on some paintings, greeting cards, and clear up my studio space. Busy but boring I suppose. There are also a myriad of care packages that need to be sent out. These are the fun parts of my life.
Samson, ready to take on the snow!
STOP! Hehe...
