I was running a little late so I ate breakfast on the way to work. Here is a reenactment of the bowl - but today I had a lot of PB just to ... Read More about Back to work

Donde esta mis azucar?
Happy Humpday :) This morning when I woke up I did NOT want to run. I don't really know why, I just didn't feel like I had a lot of energy, but I knew if I skipped out I would regret it later & wouldn't have time to do it. So, I set out on a 7 miler. I am not going to lie and say that I loved ... Read More about Donde esta mis azucar?
