Settled into a hotel until we close on our new house. The pets are making themselves right at home! 📷 iPhone SE 📍 Twentynine Palms, California 🐈🐕

Feeling a bit more like myself after 6.4 miles in the Laguna Coast Wilderness. The ocean breeze was heavenly.

Kind of obsessed with these Easter themed cookies made with dough from a local bakery. They’ve pivoted to an awesome carryout model of groceries and sweets 💕
This catloaf has taken to toasting herself in the small patch of afternoon sunlight we get in our kitchen.
Sous vide duck breasts were a success. The fat rendered nicely and was used to fry the potatoes and make a pan sauce.
What have I been up to the past few weeks? Studying, reading, celebrating my husband’s birthday, working with a dog trainer, getting our taxes done, agonizing over what is worthy of a blog post. My study buddies are pretty adorable 🐈🐕
Hiked 6.7 miles on MLK day. Not the most exciting trail, no peak or other payoff. However, it was a lovely day to be outside- 60ish with light cloud cover. It feels good to be logging more outdoor hours.

Tonight on the cooling rack: chocolate protein muffins and my favorite granola. Even though fall is warm in SoCal (87° today), I feel drawn to baking and other warm comfort foods.

We ran a race last weekend 🏃🏃 I did not train nearly enough to run a respectable 10k and had to adjust my goal from “maintain 10 minute pace” to “run the whole thing,” which I did. It was a small field though, and I got 2nd place.
