I’m at the beach but couldn’t stay away! Last night Lance congratulated me on my longest run ever (since tracking on the Nike+iPod). I clocked a 2.29 mile run at the beach in just under 23 minutes! I even increased my pace to 9:59 minute mile. I guess that’s what a flat boardwalk does for ya!
Here it is. Notice, the big dip. I was about to give up and then I pushed through. I’m so glad I did. I felt AWESOME after this run.
My plan is to go again tonight to offset the french fries and ice cream! ;~)
PS If you are wondering about the Lance comment…. Lance Armstrong congratulates you when you finish a run and break some of your own records, like time, or distance. MAN! I love this thing!

If I was a good blogger this idea would have been published BEFORE the Super Bowl not during it. I made these today to have a little fun. Surprisingly, The Husband liked them even though he didn't eat more than one. Why? Because he's strange like [...] -
If you read my weight loss blog you know I'm battling a bit of back and neck pain right now. I'm starting to feel a little better but those first few days where rough. Being the head chef of the household, this meant we ordered in a couple of times. I'm [...] -
I'm LOVING Pinterest! I can just scroll all day long looking at food photo after food photo. I wish I had more time to peruse! (I'm RoniNoone there by the way?) The other day I pinned a Portabello Mushroom pizza and was immediately inspired. It's such a simple idea and so light. [...] -
The other day I found myself craving an Orange Julius. Are they as popular as I think they are? Growing up we had an Orange Julius at our local mall. It was always a treat for us at the end of a family shopping trip. Once I was old enough to be [...] -
So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...] -
A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was immediately intrigued. So far I've only [...] -
I've had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot. The whole family LOVED it. I'm not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. So I'm sitting there staring [...] -
It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...] -
Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I've made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that's it, the best way to roast them. You'll buy that right? Right? The truth is, I'm obsessed. I found myself [...] -
Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...] -
I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast. I pulled it out and stared [...] -
I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...] -
Here's a quick idea for when you find yourself with a spaghetti squash but don't quite know what to do with it. Come on. Admit it. That's happened to you too. It's sure happened to me! I roasted this squash on Sunday... [...] -
I'm not sure if this will be a crowd pleaser, but I liked it and thought I'd share in hopes it inspires you to have some fun with kale. I loved the combination of sweet pear, earthy kale, salty bacon bits and creamy hummus. The only issue with the wrap was [...] -
I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me. Isn't that weird? Anyway, all morning I was brainstorming what to make for lunch. I wanted something flavorful [...] -
I have a friend who patiently cleaned, peeled and cubed a fresh pumpkin and then selflessly gave me some. Scratch that, a TON! I would have never even thought of doing something like that! But now that I have it in my fridge the ideas are flowing. First, I roasted some [...] -
CHRISTMAS COOKIES! YAY! Sorry. I'm so excited! Little Guy and I had tons of fun making and decorating cookies today. It may just be my favorite part of the holiday season. I loved it when I was a kid and now I get to do it with my own kids. [...] -
This may be my simplest idea yet, but it was so tasty and satisfying I had to share. Plus you guys know I'm a Laughing Cow Community Leader so I'm all about sharing fun ways to use their products. You guys may also know how I feel about pausing and making [...] -
I made this on Thursday. THURSDAY! I hate when I can't post something I've eaten within 24 hours. It just bugs me. Not sure why, it really doesn't matter when I post it, does it? Anyway, I did whip this up to cure a pizza craving and I couldn't be happier. [...] -
It's been awhile since I jazzed up a tilapia fillet. I've breaded them before, coated them in oats, flavored them like one of my favorite drinks and topped them with a fun salsa. It was time to bring nuts into the party. You are going to think I'm crazy but I've [...] -
Fun leftover turkey idea #2! Click here for leftover turkey idea #1. I had a little Gouda leftover from this years Harvest Salad and decided to put all the same flavors from the salad into a quesadilla. I just can't get enough of the smokey gouda/sweet craisin combo. It goes [...] -
It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff. I've already made stock from the bones (like this) and my first batch of soup, Classic Turkey Noodle. I hope to share [...] -
I'm so sorry I've been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I've gone missing for a few days. Maybe it's because I'm not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking [...] -
I just made a quick, tasty one pot meal the whole family ate without complaint! And when I say "whole" I mean WHOLE! The Baby, The Little Guy, AND The Picky Eater Husband! Here's the story…I was in NO mood to spend a lot of time on dinner. The thought [...]

Awesomeness! I’m way in love with my Nike + iPod, too!
you’ll have to tell me how you post your running image like that, k?
I wish I bought that when I was running. It is so cool. When I start up again one day, I’m getting it! You did a great job!
I think she does a screen shot. I know on my own website I was able to get a feed going of my last 5 runs (you press share at the top right and it gives you the code) It doesnt give a cool graph though. Graph is still there but only a straight line for me. I am not sure if its by design or not. After Roni mentioned the gadget last time I bought it because it seemed cool. I would have to say its the best purchase all year.
VERY COOL.
I mightcould totally need one as well.

I heart my Nike+ when I use it..which unfortunately has not been very consistent lately. I’m guessing you must be near me with a “flat boardwalk” and being at the beach. Hope you are having fun!!
congrats on the run! That is AWESOME! How about you take a run for me????
I totally love my Nike+. Just yesterday I had my first congrats from Tiger Woods, on my fastest mile yet. I have to admit, the Lance Armstrong congrats was a little bit cooler.
I have posted a couple of my run graphs, and I use a screen shot for them. If you set a goal on your account, there is an option to get the code for a “widget” that shows the progress toward your goal (check out my blog for an example).
Roni, I know what you mean about flat making a difference. The park where I usually run is mostly flat, and I think it makes all the difference. I get jazzed every lap when I come to the one spot where it goes ever-so-slightly downhill, and I usually have a burst of speed for those few yards. Keep runnin’ and before we know it, we’ll have a sub-30:00 5k time! Way to go on pushing through the rough patch.
WTG Roni! When you hit those low points and feel like quitting, that’s when the using the Power Song option is awesome. For me, I use the song “Proud” which is the theme song from The Biggest Loser show. There’s just something about hearing, “What have you done today to make you feel proud?” that gets me going again.
Keep up the great work! :-)
Nike and Apple should be giving you a kick back. They just made $30 off me today :)
I can’t wait to use it on my run tomorrow!
I love mine too…it’s a wonderful gadget!! :~P
If you have a sec (your laughing right now aren’t you…) does the Nike thing work if you run on the treadmill?
Thks. Keep up the good work!
I think it does! I will be trying it out at the gym later this week!
I wan to see if the treadmill matches the Nike.
I’ll post about it when I do it, tonight or Wed.
