Hello! I have lots of pictures for you today—none of which are of my beautiful face. I’m sorry / You’re welcome. Here’s what we did over the weekend… My father flew back to Chicago yesterday, so that was sad. It was fun having him around here to do some touristy San Diego things. What touristy…
My Favorite Things
Today, Matt and I are headed to downtown Chicago to meet up with a few friends and spend the day freezing our arses off. Should be a good time! Therefore, no workout today…again. Lots of walking and shivering will have to be good enough. Hope you are all having a wonderful Wednesday / day 2…
The Time I Ran over a Chicken
Happy New Year’s Eve Day!! If you haven’t already, you should check out Friday’s post of 10 Drinks & Foods to Cure a Hangover. I’m coming to the party prepared. I’ve got a banana, a refueling gel, lots of water, and a pillow for probably not enough rest. It’s worth the fun of New…

Christmas Cookie Decorating + Hoo Rag Review
Guess what’s in 8 days. CHRISTMAS! Crazy crazy crazy. December seems to be flying by. You know what’s even crazier? If all goes according to plan, I’ll be on the long road to California in 18 days, moving my life there in my little car. AND THEN I’ll be running a marathon in 48 days….
A Few of My Favorite Things
I fear that winter is fast approaching. Cold weather is all fine and dandy when I’m not training for a marathon. I’m just hoping when I do my 16- and 20-mile runs it’s not miserable outside. Eeeeeeeeeee…Guess I’ll just have to deal! I was just thinking how wonderful it will be to do whatever I…
The Weirdest Tan Line Ever
Happy Thanksgiving Week! Let the overeating…I mean…“responsible” eating begin! I’m pretty pumped to cook up some goodness later this week. I think I even prefer it to actually eating all the goodness. I’m sorry—I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Maybe I’ll change my mind when I see the beautiful pile of food on my…
