Run Eat Repeat

I get off work about an hour and a half before Ben. This means I have too much time on my hands to wait around and get hungry. I normally take a walk right after work because I hate being cooped up all day 🙁 Ben says I should be a Park Ranger because I just want to walk around…

Today was a Rest Day from running so I decided some light strength training was in order. The problem is, my mom only has 5 pound weights and it feels like a joke. Oh well, I did a few moves and called it a day. Then, I threw together a cereal bowl of randomness – Flakes, almond milk, pineapple cottage…

Only in the last two or so years have I come to embrace my voluptuous posterior. It was a very long road to get here. A road paved with self conscious looks in mirrors and any window reflection I walked by. I’d glance at my butt with embarrassment or distain depending on my mood. Each time the view was the…

I hope this is my last long run in Pico. I really  need to drive to a better running spot for anything over 8 miles because it gets super tedious around here. And I kinda feel like a weirdo. This morning I did 13 miles all around town. I have a route that is 9 miles, but had to run…
