Before I caught my plane from Philadelphia to Florida I went back and grabbed an iced coffee from ABP. I am an “8 hours a night” girl, meaning I need 8 hours of sleep to feel good and have not gotten that for days. I needed this :) On the plane I enjoyed this bag of soy crisps. They were okay ...

Sweat Session
I bring the term “sweat session” to a whole new level when I run in humidity. I think my body was just made for dry heat because humidity makes me sweat gush water at an alarming rate. I’m embarrassed as I run by people flinging sweat to and fro :( Word of advice: If you see me running toward ... Read More about Sweat Session

Ben and I wanted to try one more place before deciding on where to get our anniversary cake. Today we tried two flavors of cupcakes from Oh What a Cake! in Columbia.

This is Why You’re Fat

The Perfect Day of Eats
I have often wondered what is the perfect day of eating for a runner. I know this varies depending on your size, age, activity level and preferences – so it really is hard to exchange this kind of information with fellow runners.
