What a busy busy week! So, who is winning? East Coast or West Coast? We are still leading by a very slim margin. I think this is going to go down to the wire. We have 2 weeks left to prove that EAST coast is the most Active Coast. What I’m talking about is the …

Last night was nothing short of glorious. We got to my my parent’s house just in time for gumbo. This is a newer tradition and I think it just needs to join the ranks of Christmas Eve pajamas and baking cookies. Mom decided to try using a gluten-free flour for the roux and I think …
I hope everyone is having a great day! We had a wonderful trip to see Stephen’s side of the family and now we are on the road to MS to eat gumbo and sleep before year 37 of Black Friday shopping. Check my Instagram @katrinaruns for all the shenanigans (and there will be plenty!) Happy …

Paleo and Gluten-Free means no cornbread and without cornbread, how can I have stuffing?? By using vegetables and protein. I mixed all the ingredients and put it in the oven without the use of Cream of Crap. And Stephen agrees that it would be perfect next to a ham or turkey on the table. So, …

This was a super easy and very elegant side dish that would look beautiful on any thanksgiving table. I used my Instant Pot to quickly steam the Kale without making a boiled mess. While it was cooking, I made the brown butter reduction. The whole thing came together in 10 minutes. If you have a …

The next few weeks are going to be equally exhilarating and exhausting with a whole bunch of hectic thrown in. The mad rush, the long lists, the loads of rich food, the workouts thrown to the side to make way for more rushes, lists, and food. It’s a time of year I look forward to, …
One of the things I missed after Celiac disease diagnosis was gravy. I thought all “sauce” was a flour-based gravy. All gravy involved using white flour so I knew my gravy days were over. Then I bought a stainless steel pan and the wide world of reductions was opened to me. I learned that brown …
Does anybody remember that poem? This Monday’s child was ready to hit the ground running. I’ve got things to do and a life to get busy living! Today was busy. I was out of work last week to help Stephen after his shoulder surgery. Today was back to routine and I can’t lie. It was …
I had a GREAT week on the treadmill! We got home from Savannah and the race that didn’t happen on Monday. His shoulder surgery was Tuesday and I was home the rest of the week. I got in 3 runs that were great. No pressure. No timelines. Just working on getting back to loving running …
This week, I’m previewing several recipes for a Paleo Thanksgiving! Since we will be traveling and staying with my family for Thanksgiving, I wanted to make several side dishes and maybe a dessert that is compliant with a Paleo lifestyle. These recipes will be grain+legume free and include minimal dairy in the form of grass-fed …
As a very seasoned travel racer, I have learned the fine art of packing for a race. Here are my absolute must-have, cannot-travel-without items for a great race day. 1. Shoes When I’m packing for a vacation, I have a separate “go bag” that will hold all my race/running gear. The first thing in that …
The holiday season is so hectic. I’m trying to balance cooking healthy for every day meals at home with enjoying the seasonal treats and cooking projects. Some meals just get lost in the shuffle. I’m looking for EASY breakfasts this week. I found this recipe at Cooking Light and it is a real winner. I …
Whether we are ready or not, the holidays are here. It seems like I was carving a pumpkin 5 minutes ago and now the holiday commercials and retail stores are all about Thanksgiving and Christmas. And you know what that means. This is the time of year when 2 things happen: We want to ramp …
It’s a beautiful day to have a shoulder hacked on. Stephen is having a shoulder surgery today. This is a long story that I will try to make short and concise. Way back in college days, he dislocated his shoulder. He put it back in place and took some advil and called it fixed. In …
Sunrise on the beach. This never gets old. We are leaving early this morning to get home at a normal hour. Stephen is having surgery tomorrow and we have a lot to do before we report to the hospital. Very important things. It’s going up early this year. He will be out of commission for …
I said something earlier about having never been so excited to have such a slow race time. The Rock n’ Roll Savannah half marathon didn’t happen for several reasons. It’s no secret on my blog that I’ve been really struggling with running since the miscarriage in late August. I remember being on workout restriction …
