Running A Business

We’ve been able to sync running and our business today! Plus a little biking. I imagine when the bakery gets busy that I’ll do a lot of biking / running the 3 miles and back to the space as my main form of exercise. And of course, kneading dough!

First this morning we biked to our CPA’s to get some tax and accounting stuff done. It sure is a good thing I love numbers!

IMG_7494Blog

Then we came home. I ate a date and a fig, did a little work and we were off again, this time to the bakery itself.

We are exactly 3 miles from the bakery, so it was a 6 mile run with a 20 minute break in the middle.

Here’s a visual of the updates – although now there are frames for the rooms! [More photos on our Facebook page 🙂 ]

Needless to say we were both tired and hungry when we got home!

Herring to the rescue!

SardinesBlog

Matt made a herring salad (smoked herring from Trader Joe’s are the BEST!) with carrots, cuc, celery, mustard and mayo, all mashed together. I served mine over spinach

IMG_4828BlogSardines2Blog

On the side: an orange and a slice of High Five Fiber with coconut buttah

IMG_4814Blog-2ToastBlog

The usual – organic sparkles

IMG_4831Blog

Deeeelish! Although I’m afraid my appetite is still increased – I’m already feeling the inklings of hunger and it’s only been an hour!

IMG_4813Blog

Matt is out equipment shopping and I’ve got to get a move on on some projects I’ve been too busy to start between traveling and all the rest.

Gotta run!

    I think I would love a 6-mile round-trip to work. Such a wonderful way (and excuse!) to get exercise in. Almost makes me want to get an office to work out of. Almost. 🙂

      I was thinking the exact same thing! Far enough to be a nice workout round trip, but completely doable when it comes to getting there on time.

    I love how you just “run over” to work. (Pun intended) 6 miles is impressive!

    And what’s even more impressive is that after a date with your accountant, dealing with numbers, a 6 mile run, and running your life…you still find time to throw together an awesome looking salad. I don’t think I’ve ever had herring but if I am ever in need of making anything with it, good to know about the TJs stuff!

    It’s so cool that you live near your bakery! And I think it’s awesome that you are mentally making time for exercise when you know the bakery will be busy 🙂 That’s a great way to stay fit!

    Good luck on your projects!

    Sounds like a highly productive day!! Now I can appreciate the goodness of herring since I tried it last week. Do you notice a big taste difference between kippered and smoked herring? (Mine was the kippered kind). The salad sounds amazing!

    I think that the best, most enjoyable exercise is the kind that comes organically — in your case, running to and fro and making bread that you later get to eat. I’m lucky to live in a biker-and-runner-friendly town too! 🙂

Super jealous of your biking/running commute. Enjoy it! Sitting in Chicago traffic each day is a real drag!
