Secret #1 – Marathon Training
As I am training for my first Marathon I am learning many things "they" don't tell you about training for a marathon. ("They" being people who run marathons, or advocate the running of marathons.)

Run 12/2/2008
Thanks for all the shout outs about the POTM Challenge! I really appreciate it. Even though I am training for my first marathon, running is still hard! I don't take any mile for granted.

Michelle's Naturally Vegan Choc Chip
I found these Chocolate Chip cookies at WF today. I have been craving a really good chocolate chip cookie for a while. I wanted a thick chewy one that you can really sink your teeth into. These cookies are very good, but not what I wanted. They are not too sweet, in a good way, so the chocolate ... Read More about Michelle's Naturally Vegan Choc Chip
RUN 11/29/2008
I ran 16.75 miles today. I was supposed to run 17, but I'm lucky I made it that far. I was psyching myself out the whole run.
