Homemade Dog Biscuits

Thing 2 and I baked up some special holiday dog treats with wheat germ to bring to the shelter. Don’t worry our dogs got some too. They were met with rave reviews. Here’s how you make homemade dog biscuits. doggietreats

  3. I did the Denver Marathon a few years back with some friends, and the altitude was tough! And that’s when I was living all year at 4000 ft! We had a blast, though! We just went into knowing it was all for fun – no PRs – and spent the whole race singing songs in Spanish (the group was from Mexico), playing hide-n-seek, and seeing how many new friends we could make. One of my best marathon memories ever!

  6. I did the Empire State Building Run Up in 2012 and it was quite an experience! It was so much fun! I had no idea how to prepare for it. All I can say is to go at a steady pace and focus on your breathing. So many people go out super fast and then die out at the end. Steady is the best way to go! Good luck!

  7. Love that you are doing the climb! March will be my 5th time doing the Big Climb here in Seattle:) Love it! Tips are: pace yourself. Use receiver gloves and use the handrails. 2 steps at a time if you can. You will probably cough at the top for a while. A sucking candy or lozenge will help with that:) Email me if you have any other q’s:) You will rock it!

  10. You’ve all kinds of fun stuff lined up! I’ve always wanted to do one of those stair climbs and I’ll be interested to hear how it goes for you. Never raced at altitude, only run and it definitely affected me. But for the scenery in Colorado, I’m sure it’s worth it.

  13. I’ve never done a destination race outside of the Midwest, and I don’t think I will for awhile with the little lady, but ZOOMA Napa Valley did look pretty tempting…

  14. 1) I race at altitude EVERY TIME. I live a mile above sea level in central NM

    3) homemade dog biscuits – why don’t i ever think of things like that?

  18. I’ve never raced at altitude but have run and hiked. At 12000 feet or so we could only take about 10 steps before being totally out of breath.

    It should be a fun race though!
