I am hoping you all had a safe and beautiful holiday!
I rested, ran and cooked and “un”cooked all weekend. It was REALLY REALLY NICE!!!
New Years Eve
We closed the store early New Years Eve and got home about 8:00-8:30 pm. I put some groceries away and made a REJUVELAC Smoothie before the run.
Since we had about 2+ hours prior to the run we talked about the goals we had for this next year (both relationship wise & business wise) and reminisced about last year. My “taste tester” and I have been together for 10+ years now. So you can imagine there is always much to talk about!
Before I knew it was time to get dressed and go!
As planned my taste tester and I went on a run at about 11:25 pm! I wanted to ring in the New Year RUNNING!
The run felt exhilarating! We accomplished the run in 37 min 6 sec! That IS MY FASTEST TIME ever! YES! Only 2 minute 6 seconds to shave off my final time!!!
Once I reach the 35 minute goal I will work different intervals and speed training.
Just as I wondered if it was midnight yet, I heard firecrackers going off and then a moment later the peacocks were calling out! I was filled with happiness, excitement, love! Most of all I just felt thankful to be where I was at that moment! Thankful for the opportunities that have presented themselves over the last year and thankful to be alive! The call the peacocks let out is so magical. During the warmer months they are much more vocal and while I sleep I can hear them in the distance…
Over the next few days I made smoothies, juiced some oranges for fresh juice, drank lots of rejuvelac with E3 live, SLEPT, LOVED and LIVED!
It was nice to be home!
Oranges
Avocados
Here is the small snack we had…
Raw Cashew Cheese + Mineral Rich Raw Crusts+Tomatoes+ Basil = LOVE!
Here are all of the components before I assembled them…As previously posted – THE CHEESE DIDN’T HARDEN!
BUMMER!
I will continue to work with this issue! I WILL NOT GIVE UP ON RAW NUT CHEESES!
Did you make some goals for 2011? Would love to hear them!
Thank you for reading!
Love and Light!
Namaste!
Did you spend time with your favorite people this weekend?
Are you waiting to spend time with them on New Year’s Eve?
Me? Christmas went by pretty fast!
On Christmas Eve my mother fell and needed to be taken to the hospital!
Her fall resulted a broken wrist and dislocated elbow!
Woke up pretty early on Christmas Day. I drank LOTS OF REJUVELAC!! I also made a drink that had 1 whole apple, an entire orange, rejuvelac and E3 Live.
Here’s my big and beautiful APPLE!
Here is the orange, apple and E3 live in the Blender!

What is E3 live?
E3Live® (Original) is 100% Aphanizomenon flos-aquae blue-green algae (AFA for short) that is an all-organic wild-harvested aqua-botanical considered by renowned health authorities to be nature’s most beneficial superfood. (I will link the website on another posting!)
As long as the algae is frozen it will be alive when you consume it. It will keep in the fridge 7 days once it has thawed, however if you aren’t going to use it, the instructions state to put the bottle back into the freezer. Since there is no possible way I could determine if I was going to use the rest of the algae within the 7 day time period, I made doses, cubes and/or portions! I found a plastic ice cube tray and placed the thawed algae into the mold and froze them. This way I could just toss a few into the blender to use them!
I made sure to drink Rejuvelac and E3 live ALL DAY!!! I think we went through 9 glasses of rejuvelac before this green concoction!
Check out the FOAM on this one!!!
I also went on an Evening run! When I left my parents house it was raining pretty steadily!
I was upset and thought I wasn’t going to be able to run. As I drove home I noticed it was misting on my side of town! Yeah! I went inside, dressed for my run and headed out! I ran a little faster than I did on Christmas Eve, so I was very Satisfied! :)
Here are some Christmas shots I took during my run!!!
MERRY GINGERBREAD MAN!
When I initially took this picture, I imagined Ganesh standing in Tree Pose and all of his arms extended into different mudras. Looking at this shot, I see a face! What about you? What do you see???
This was such a beautiful shot! This tree was so peaceful and beautiful with it’s lights that night! At this point it was barely starting to rain and I knew I had to head home FAST!
I wanted to take a few more pictures of this street, but by now the rain was really really heavy!!! The Christmas lights line this entire street! Can you see all the lights in the distance???
I hope you all had a great HOLIDAY! My running has been going quite well! Los Angeles is expected to have more rain tomorrow! Fingers crossed I will be able to get 1 or 2 more runs in the next few days!
Here are my Wheat Berry Cinnamon Raisin Cookies!
I had just turned them over to Dehydrate on the other side for 3 hours. They will be consumed this evening! Can’t wait! The cookie feels more life the Ehtiopian Bread called Injera. Do you know what that is???
Love and Light!
Namaste!
This is the fuel I had devoured the day of the race. I knew I needed RAW food, Great Water and FRUIT!!!
So I packed my snacks and headed out the door prepared!
The (2) waters are: Essentia (9.5 pH) and the other is ESSENCE (pH)! A love force energy bar – Flavor Chocolate Mint, Raw Cracker, a Sprouted Quinoa Salad, 2 Oranges, 1 Pink Lady Apple and Love!
As we drove up to the beach all I saw was FOG!!! I wondered if it would end up raining on us or not. There were quite a bit of cars parked in all of the parking lots! All of the cars there were mostly there for the 10k race, which began at 7:30 am! I would have to say there were much more cars for the 10k than the 5k! Whew!
There were even some folks who did the combo!!! 10k + 5k! CRAZY!!! (One day I thought to myself!!!) But for now, I will concentrate on the 5k and some speed work, weight lifting and bicycling! Got to get ready for the 10k!!!
These wonderful people were all heading to the START LINE!!!

Here was my hero for the day!!! WONDER MOM!!! You can read about her HERE! In this picture we are all assembling to the START LINE. Initially WONDER MOM caught my eye for simply showing up pregnant and getting ready to run the race. However, as the gun went off, she began running with her children and the stroller!!! WOW! AMAZING WOMAN!!!

Here we are on the race path! We have passed the 1 mile mark. We are on the Venice Boardwalk now. Probably about 1 .75 miles into the 5k! I came across this really cute kid yelling at his parents!
“HURRY UP MOM AND DAD!!!” WHAT IS TAKING YOU SO LONG?” He was very much ahead of his parents and I laughed to myself! The energy of a young child! Not knowing or understanding why mom and dad were behind!!! I understood!

At the time I didn’t understand why my pace was so much better. Now that I have time to think about it. I have come to the conclusion that living near the San Gabriel Mountains changes the air a bit. It also occurred to me the other night that I run up hills since we live so close to the mountains and the 5k course was a flat course. This is what gave me the idea to work more hills and hopefully gain speed for the 10k!

Everyone is leaving at this point including me!
Finished with the 5k and I was ready for my massage and a GREAT MEAL! We went to one of our favorite restaurants in Los Angeles – SIMPLY WHOLESOME! Best RAW TACOS in town!
Great Salsa too!

After our snack we headed off to the shop! We opened on time and I left to receive my wonderful massages!
I thought I would post these pictures! Technology had been my enemy this week.
But things are looking up!
I have also been taking in SUPERFOODS…Goji Berries, Mulberries, Cashews, Carob, Raw Cacao, Coconut, Brazil Nuts and Raisins! I made this mix myself. I will try some other’s next week. I have also been having E3 live every morning! Sometimes I mix blueberries in the blender with the E3 live and other times I use frozen pineapple, mango, raspberries…just depends what I have on hand…
Check it out…

Ingredients:
1 lb RAW CASHEWS
1/2 lb. Organic Raisins
1/4 lb Goji Berries
3/4 lb RAW Superfood Trail Mix
1/4 lb Carob chips
1/4 lb RAW WALNUTS
I hope you are well Longevity Seekers!
Stay positive! Some needed days off are coming up!
Love & Light !
Namaste!
Hello All!
As you can already tell, I have decided to change the theme. So here we are with a change…
I ran both Monday and Tuesday evening.
Monday
My run was quite difficult. My knees hurt ALL day. They were quite sore, and I felt tired throughout the entire run. It took about 30 solid minutes to feel warmed up enough, and by that time I was about a half mile from home. I think I probably could have run another mile or two. I just don’t want to push my body. I don’t want anything to get in the way of the 5K run on Saturday.
Tuesday
My evening was a FABULOUS run. I made it to mile (1) quicker than anticipated. Mile (2) was at a 30 minute mark, whereas the evening prior I was at mile (2) at 36 minutes. The challenge seems to be the last part of the hill. The very difficult hill I climb before running back. Ugh! This one can make me or break on any given day!!
Most of the food ingested on Tuesday was RAW. I also had a smoothie with Spirulina. What a difference! I am attempting to figure out how I can show you the graphs to show you the CRAZY difference between the HIGH RAW day and the LOW RAW day. definitely a testament to eating raw for ANY athletic endeavor!!!
Wednesday
Day Off!
There are a few things I needed to get before Saturday. One of them was a new pair of running shoes. For the first time I decided to purchase a NON – NEW BALANCE RUNNING SHOE! That is a big deal for me. For years I have sworn by New Balance! But, yesterday I was quite disappointed! I tried on like 18 – 20 pairs of running shoes. I decided on the Nike Air Compete 2. My only regret is the Nike swoosh is Pink! (Not a pink fan…yet somehow I always end up with pink clothing, shoe accents, etc.)
All of the running shoes felt stiff except these! Many of the shoes also felt small or very heavy. I am a 6 1/2-7 size shoe and in running shoes usually 7 1/2. Many of the shoes I tried on were 8′s??? Ugh! With the exception of the pink swoosh the Nike Compete 2 are GREAT! They are Light, Comfortable, and roomy around the toes!!! I’m taking these guys for a test drive tonight!
I also had the opportunity to enjoy the evening with my “taste tester” !
We went to PURE LUCK – another vegan find in Los Angeles. Went to bed early and woke up late?! How does that work??? Must have been tired!
I got on the bike and did 2.5 miles in 20 minutes. 1/2 mile more than usual. That’s positive! Although I had hoped to run in the morning, I will have to wait until I get home this evening.
Tonight I will go to the store and buy some Thai coconuts, E3 Live and salad. I am planning on eating RAW until after the race. Maybe even a few days after the race.
Thanks for reading!
Love & Light
Namaste!
