I have graduated Tumblr, in a sense. I want to take blogging a little more seriously and so I have just started Sans Pizza round II over at Blogspot.

—> http://sanspizza.blogspot.com

I still exist. If you haven’t figured this out, I had fallen off the wagon / also my computer crashed and so access to Tumblr wasn’t sooo accessible.

I need to stop with this yoyo-ing behavior/roller coaster lifestyle of supreme fitness to illness.

I need to acknowledge that I am celiac, I am lactose-intolerant and straying from these dietary guidelines seem to inevitably lead to insanity.

New blog will include: my real identity, access to my personal twitter/instagram, videos, short films, recipes, race recaps, work outs, life, love, and the pursuit of happiness.

Follow me at my new location, get to know me all over again.

Follow me elsewhere too, I am actually @Odibz for everything.

Love ya

BLAAAAAAAAH Check out my new SHORTS & VIBRAMS

I just took them out for a test run. Well, more like a test-play.

I played outside today. I walked home from work, cut through the woods and sunk my Vans into mud. :( Except it kind of excited me SO as soon as I came home I convinced my sister to come out and play with me. It was kind of raining but like warm and smelled like awesome greenery (you know what I mean? Like that fresh-cut-grass-moist-nature-smell). We also invited Stella the wonder pit bull to our adventure. We walk/sprinted/danced for about 1.5 miles, then walk/sprinted/danced back. Then did Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred as soon as we got back. :) A little over 500 kcal burned according to my trusted heart rate monitor.

Vibrams Review: I have a feeling that my calves are going to be VERY VERY sore tomorrow. As we were getting sweaty and ridiculous outside, we of course ran past my ex boyfriend // at which point I totally got embarrassed of my Vibrams which was weird ‘cause I’m not one to get embarrassed usually. So, naturally, I…ran away. No, I mean literally. I ran away from him.

Anyways, I can see how one would have to kind of transition into running with them but I can DEFINITELY get into it and I think I’ll try to get a few light runs a week in with them on. They’re so amazing and comfortable! and as gay as this sounds, I feel way more…”me” with them on vs. my Asics, or my Sauconyz.

Anyways you guys, let me get back to making dinner. ;) 

Das me crossin’ the line in those nice red shorts. I’d post the full length pic of me but like, no I won’t. ;)

You’re supposedly supposed to take a number of rest days after a significant race. That was Sunday, it’s Thursday, I’ve gone hiking and walking around since which is fairly easy  so I think I am ready to get back to the sweaty sweaty grind today. 

Dis my kale overnight oats, it’s good! It’s also grossin’ out the kids at work. ;)

Good morning

EDIT: But! Hey, they got to eat green eggs and ham for Dr. Seuss’ birthday…why don’t I get to have green oats …whenever I want? Ya ya ya

Things that I have already done today that I haven’t done in a week: ate breakfast

Yesterday was kind of a wake up call for me. I could not run my usual route. This is TERRIBLE news because I have a half marathon Sunday morning! I mean given, the routes by my house are like trying to speed climb a roller coaster and the upcoming 13.1 is on flat territory. BUT STILL — lack of food and protein, means lack of abilities! Sure, I knew that but didn’t have the experience to back it up. Not that I needed it, but ya.

Anyways, I made myself breakfast and lunch last night before I went to bed. I blended half a banana and a handful of blueberries withs 1/4 cup of coconut milk, combined that with 2 tbs of chia seeds and 1/4 cup of gluten free oatmeal. I let it soak overnight (obvs) and then topped it off with a gluten free flax cereal in the morning. It was delicious! :)

Lunch is a gluten free almond butter & blueberry preserves (chia seeds sprinkled with the nut butter) sandwich with a pear on the side. 

I like blueberries. I like antioxidants. I like… sustenance. Food is our friend, not food…or food is both our friend…and food. Yeah. 

Good morning.

Yesterday in slices.

I spent a lot of it outside. Walking lakeside style, through the woods, mud, then running around in my Vibrams. Stay active friends ;)

Remember that one time I said I was thinking about getting Vibrams? and that I probably shouldn’t because they cost too much? Well, yeah.

I bought Vibrams. I’m really really excited to like run up a mountain and swim in a creek with them.

First thing my dad said in response to seeing them, “Can you text with them?” 

Hi. I ran 13.1 miles in the rain yesterday. My time was 2:04 which is either exactly the same as last time or two minutes faster than last time. I’m okay with that! I thought that I wasn’t going to be able to run it at all.

Fact: There’s no way to take a cute post race pic. We look noooot nice. 

My week in preparation for the race: I ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. Breakfast was always oatmeal with around 2 tablespoons of chia seeds. The day OF the race, I ate my blueberry overnight oats around 2.5 hours (and a large cup of black coffee) before start time. I truly believe in the advantages of chia seeds and their ability to power long distance runs, from personal experience! Aside from that, I did a few short runs throughout the week but mostly took it easy. I made sure to have a consistent sleep schedule and all this had me fairly confident when approaching the starting line Sunday morning. There ya go! ;)
