February 29th, 2012 Posted by Laura Oh, good- you found me! Welcome to the new site! As you can see, I was able to import most of my previous WordPress site, and am trying to keep it as similar as possible. The main difference is that I no longer have “wordpress” as part of the url, so please update your bookmarks, [...]
February 22nd, 2012 Posted by Laura I’m still feeling good after Sunday’s race, and have been able to ease back into my normal routine with a recovery spin on Monday and a easy run yesterday in place of speed work.

L has been pretty easy to feed, and I like to try new recipes every week. I’m finally settling into some favorites that I keep falling back on, especially when I know [...]
December 11th, 2011 Posted by Laura Pumpkin and squashes fill the grocery store long before they are actually “in season.” But I gave in and picked up a butternut squash this week for soup.
