I have only ran in pants once before (winter run in Long Beach), but didn’t like the feeling and the pants kept falling down because my waist and butt are so disproportional. But, I knew I would need some running pants in Maryland so I went on the search for pants with a drawstring waist and tried them out this…

Wet Walk
I was NOT looking forward to my walk home this afternoon. It was rainy and cold outside and I had a 3.4 mile walk ahead of me. Boo. I really had no choice but to do it, but if I had a way to weasel out of it, I would have. I had an umbrella, but my hands were freezing!…

Frozen Lunch – Pumpkin Squash Ravioli
I had a frozen meal that caught my eye the other day waiting at work for lunch. So this morning I just had to pack a salad and fruit to go along with it (and my snacks for later of course). The thing that caught my eye was “Pumpkin” in the name. This is Pumpkin Squash Ravioli from Healthy Choice….

Poor Girl’s Gloves
It was super cold this morning, but I couldn’t find the new gloves Ben bought me yesterday so I had to use my Poor Girl’s Gloves = Socks. Actually they are more like mittens, but you get the idea.

My pumpkin shake contained: 1 container vanilla Chobani, 1/2c pumpkin, 1/2c soy milk (more added later…

Race-ist & Calorie Counting
I ran the Freedom Run half marathon to become a better “Race-ist”. Oh wait, that sounds really bad…my definition of “race-ist” is someone who runs in running contests of any size. Anyways I am signing up for another run in November to practice my racing skills too. I will become a good “race-ist” yet! Remember when I broke an entire…

Warm Ears, Cold Hands
It was chilly this morning so I busted out my ear muff/headband to keep my ears warm. But, my hands were freezing! I need mittens fast. Marathon Training: I was out of it this morning and couldn’t understand the speed work I was supposed to day (and I was not feeling it). So I just decided to try and do…

Julia Child vs. Pumpkin Ice Cream
I cannot decide what was the bigger highlight of my day – visiting Julia Child’s kitchen or scoring pumpkin frozen yogurt at TCBY! Today was obviously a great day 🙂 Ben and I did some exploring in D.C. today and visited the National Museum of American History. They have a replica of Julia Child’s kitchen with all her pots and…
