If I could just get better timing I would be a fast, slim runner with excellently delivered jokes*  🙂 www.nataliedee.com After my speedy hill repeats I had a simple breakfast of a Perfect 10 bagel with Almond Butter and…

I don’t know if it’s because I’m back home or what, but I have been craving nothing but good Mexican food this week. Luckily, I came to the right place as home is full of amazing hole-in-the-wall restaurants and bakeries offering the best Mexican food! Today I woke up early and walked to a local panaderia (bakery) for Pan Dulce!…
