For the last year I have been considering going to grad school to further my career, I even took the GRE and filled out some applications. But after much thought I have decided to take some classes at a local community college to get more web knowledge – which is what I want more than anything right now. I’m back…

Uno Chicago Grill
Last night Ben and I went on a date that began with dinner at Uno Chicago Grill. I had never been there before but remember reading something about it in Women’s Health a while back. While we were waiting for a table a hostess brought us warm apple cider to enjoy. Love small touches like this! And it was cold…

18 miles and counting
I like to think of my miles as my children, so today you can call me Mrs.Duggar because I busted out 18 miles. While I know running is nothing like childbirth, I can’t help but get delirious around mile 14 and think up weird posts like this. I also enjoy finding ways to reference my vagina in my posts (see…

Hold the mayo – in your purse
Things I found in my purse today: A packet of mayonnaise, because I like love to steal condiments. I don’t know what I thought I was going to use it for, but I never let a free bucket of condiments pass me by without helping myself to some. A pack of gum that is almost empty even though I just…

Rustling Leaves
This morning I did 7 miles in 1:02:48! I felt really good the whole time – I think incorporating yoga into my Marathon Training is a good idea 🙂 Normally on my runs all I hear is my breath, my footsteps and passing cars (I don’t run with an Ipod because I am a freak). But today I noticed the…
