Hello Friends! The thing I love about running outside is the scenery. Duh. I live in a neighborhood with a gazillion houses all smooshed together, but just outside of it, you can find nature…other than the yellowed lawns and potted plants. There is a section of land that apparently they have turned into hay-bale type…

Cow Pie Hike + Giveaway Winner
Hello Friends! Delicious title right? Well it was very fitting for the actual hike I took with Dave (the BF) at his family farm over the weekend.

{WIAW #34} Summer Staples
Hello Friends! So I wasn’t going to do WIAW, because that would involve visiting other blogs, which I’m temporarily giving up. I did decide to pop in on Jenn’s WIAW because she told me via Twitter that she had created an ACV concoction that she wouldn’t be sharing until today. (*sigh* I broke down…
Guess What? I’m Gonna Try Again!
Hello Friends! The half-marathon. The daunting 13.1 mile run. I’ve attempted training for it twice now. The first time, I hurt my back at work. Not only did I have to discontinue training, I was unable to work for a couple of months. That. Was. Awful. The last time I tried to train for the…

Thank You Shape Magazine
Hello Friends! I hardly ever take time to sit down and read a magazine. This was evident in my mad cleaning fit that took over me on Monday. I found about 15 magazine issues (that I paid for!) that I still haven’t read…and I only subscribe to two monthly magazines and one magazine that comes…
