Lentil & Tomato Stew (Ethiopian Dish)
We are finally had another “Around the World” night with our friends. We haven’t done one since we did the Filipino food months ago. This time we decided to tackle African. I chose this Ethiopian dish. It was delicious, but definitely something new and from a different culture. I love experiencing what different cultures have to offer.…

San Francisco!
We took off not so early on Friday morning for San Francisco. Our plan didn’t leave until 9:40, so Brent and I took advantage of the time we had to relax before our trip. The plane ride was nice and quick as it was a direct flight down there. We arrived and our friend picked…

Let it Snow!
In the last few days we have seen a fair amount of the seasonal precipitation that comes more often in a solid, crystalline form. Jess isn’t quite ready for it, or at least what it means for running (miserable, thats what it means). But I am ready! I love summer, but summer is always so…

NWM – I survived!
Just a quick post to say that I survived and crossed the finish line to score my little blue box! It was a hard race mostly because of how crowded the streets were. I was feeling great but it was extremely difficult to get in a decent pace. Then once the half marathoners split off,…

Chicken Piccata and Roasted Squash
What to do for dinner? I had some fresh squash sitting on my counter, so I decided to pop it in the oven. I looked up this recipe for chicken piccata and decided that it sounded like a good main dish to go with the squash. The meal turned out tasty. I love when I…

Shrimp Tacos
Brent and I were given some fresh green and purple cabbage from a friend’s garden. We were trying to figure out what to make with it. I decided to make some coleslaw for shrimp tacos. The coleslaw turned out delicious and it was a great addition to the shrimp and avocado for the tacos. The…

Oktoberfest 8k 2012
Brent and I have ran the last two Oktoberfest races. The first one was a 10k plus which ended up being about 6.7 miles instead of 6.2. The second year, they got the race down to a 10k. Both of these years, they also had 5k distances. This year, they decided to make it just…

A Visit from Afar
The other week, Brent and I had heard from a little birdie that our friend Fe and her husband Ken were in town from the Philippines. I sent out a message to her not knowing if she would have time for dinner or even a quick visit. We lucked out! Last week we were able…

Bozeman Half Marathon 2012
On Sunday morning September 9th, I got up early with Brent still in bed and made my way down the stairs for a quick breakfast. I sat in the stool tired and wanting to go back to sleep. It really was not that early as I wake up early during the week days. I ate…

Only Days Away
The marathon is almost hear! That also means…VACATION! I am so excited to be able to go run and visit my friends. I feel somewhat ready for this race, but I did not train as hard as I did for the last one. This training was somewhere in between my first program and my second…
