Hi my name is Nora, and I have a minor obsession with the TV show Glee. I wasn’t always this way. One boring day I saw a re-run. I was hooked. It’s becoming a problem. A part of me wants to have “Sing-off Wednesday” to honor the season premier. I can’t sing but how fun [...]
Hot Chia-Banana Oatmeal: 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup instant oats, 1/2 TBS chia seeds, cinnamon, 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, 1/2 cup water,1/2 banana, blackberries and 1 heaping TBS crunchy natural peanut butter. I’m all smiles. The fall weather is finally here. After my run today all that I wanted was a gigantic bowl [...]
Sunday. A day to relax and unwind before another crazy week. A day to do all of the things you love with the ones you love. 1 jumbo egg, 2 extra large egg whites (what we had on hand). Zucchini, Mushrooms, Cherry Tomato. Italian Herb Blend. Pizza Cheese (Mozzarella and Provolone Blend). I love running. [...]
11-miles and I am dead. I can’t remember the last time I ran that distance. It felt great but I am already feeling it in my legs. Tomorrow will not be fun.I woke up early to eat a piece of 8-grain 3-seed toast with cinnamon, peanut butter and 1/2 of a banana and HYDRATE. This [...]
It might sound nutty. It might sound bananas. My dad and I woke up at 6:30am on a Sunday to run. We met with a group of runners for a run sponsored by Fleet Feet. Every Sunday they gather to run different mileages and paths. I like this concept. I wasn’t sure how far we [...]
I heard a knock on my door this morning, “Nora….want to run to the high-school with me?” It was my dad. Without hesitation I screamed YES and was ready in five minutes. I was planning on going for a quick run down the street before heading back to my apartment but to me, there is [...]
Well sort of… Good Morning! Good Morning! Good Morning! I am a ball of energy today (clearly) and it’s all because I started off on the right foot. I was wide awake at 5:45am and it was a lovely 64 degrees out. I decided to take advantage of the peaceful morning and go for a [...]
Each morning my alarm sounds and the great debate begins. A. What should I do now? B. What do I want for breakfast? The answer to these questions may be obvious for some, however; after four years of Model United Nations in high school, I challenge everything. Correlations are added and amendments are made before [...]
Feeling like “death” this morning provided inspiration for my dinner tonight: Eggs in Purgatory. JUST KIDDING! That is such a morbid thought process. Despite my ~3 hours of sleep last night I had a pleasant day that ended on a high note with this sinfully good dinner. To make my “eggs purgatory” I incorporated 2 [...]
To my dismay, I woke up this morning to a torrential down pour. My dad and I were going to go on a bike ride but had to cancel our plans due to the massive puddles that had accumulated. Instead, we decided to go to the local high school track and run. Before we left [...]
