  • I RAN A MARATHON!!!!

    Marathon 2 small

    The title says it all, after 11 years of dreaming and thinking it wasn’t possible… I ran a marathon! The morning started out like any other race, leaving the house a little later than I’d hoping, not finding parking near by, walking quickly through 10 blocks in the dark to find my starting point. This [...]

  • Prepping for my marathon

    In the week leading up to my marathon I was a mess! First of all I found that I don’t really eat carbs. I know trying to stuff yourself full of as many carbs as possible sounds like a dream, but to me I would be much happier eating as much meat and dairy as [...]

  • Week 12 – marathon training

    week-12

    I was pretty sore from Hood to Coast and definitely had to work a bit more in my runs on Tuesday and Thursday this week. Specifically my hip flexor (which I pulled in my first leg of H2C) and next to my achilles tendon were really hurting. I could deal with the pulled muscle, but [...]

  • Week 10 – Marathon Training

    week-10

    Finally I feel like I’m back. I won’t lie and say I didn’t spend all week dreading the thought of running 17 miles or in other words, 3 hours of running non stop. This week I was feeling strong, but not really enjoying the run. Getting to the point where the idea of *having* to [...]

  • Week 8 – Marathon Training

    week-8

    I made a stupid error this week, I ran too fast. I never thought I would have a problem with this, considering I always have just one speed, but in this training I must be getting stronger and it is allowing me to go faster. I really need to find a way to keep this [...]

  • Week 7 – Marathon Training

    marathon training portland

    This week was brutal, mainly because it was a rough recovery from Saturday’s 14 mile run. I was so sore! Strangely it was just my calves, but it was my WHOLE calf from knee to ankle and ALL the way around. They were so so tight and with every step it felt like someone was [...]

  • Little Big Burger – Little Bit Awesome

    little big burger portland N mississippi

    There is some serious tastiness to be found behind this bright red facade! The first time we went to Little Big Burger was at the one on NW 10th and it was ok, but not worth the price or the trouble finding parking. BUT recently they opened another location near our house at 3747 N [...]

  • Schoolhouse Electric Fieldtrip

    portland oregon

    Loving the retro and industrial looks for our home we’ve spent a lot of time trolling around the internet looking for something cool or inspirational for the finishing touches we want to use. Lighten is something we both love so we of course have ended up on schoolhouseelectric.com more than once. I’m in love with [...]

  • Frameless mirror installation

    clean lines and modern look

    To maximize the design in our bathroom we needed a mirror that didn’t clutter up the visual of the room. Such a small and narrow space needs things streamlined to keep them from feeling claustrophobic. So when it came time to replace the giant clunky ghetto mirror we wanted to match the width of the backsplash [...]
