Wow, my title is so profound and clever. I should be a writer. But, my dinner was super simple and delicious! Ben and I wanted something quick since we were hungry. So, I threw together a quick cole slaw (the same one I made this weekend) and I heated up some falafel balls I found at Costco this weekend to…

Half Marathon = Twice as much Fun
The half marathon is my favorite distance to run. I think even though it’s half as long as a full marathon, it is twice as much fun! I came across this website dedicated to half marathon races today and I am excited! I found it while researching a half marathon race I found nearby. Ummm, did I mention that I…

Early Bird Tuesday
Ben needed a ride to the train station this morning so I had to get up earlier than usual to get some elliptical time in. I am definitely a morning person, but getting to work at 7:30am is a little too much. I just did 30 minutes on the machine before I had to get ready to go. Since we…

Just add eggs
Ben swears that all leftovers are better when you toss it in a pan and fry an egg with it. I normally disagree, but since the corn casserole I made yesterday was dry I thought this would be the perfect dish to add an egg to! I reheated the corn casserole and topped it with an over-easy egg. The yolk…

Yesterday I read about Start, Stop & Keep. This is where you identify a habit you want to start, one you want to stop and one you want to keep. I figure…

Meet Banana Hammock and friends
In an effort to relieve my severe depression, Ben came home with an aquarium the other day. I told him it wasn’t going to work, and we agreed that the aquarium is mostly for him. But, I am going to play along as much as my sad, cat & dog-less self can. We went to the pet store and got…

Cereal Killer
I was a cereal killer this morning because I ate this big bowl of it then added some more (and then, some more) just because. I used to completely binge on cereal and haven’t done that in a while since I have not brought “those” cereals in the house. (Except for that recent granola buy that was gone in days!)…

New Look
Like my new look? I have been wanted a full-on makeover for a while, but Ben keeps trying to talk me out of dying my hair blonde. I don’t want to do it if it’s going to look fake so we keep talking about going to a wig store to test it out. We finally passed by one today as…

Keep Going!
I did 13.1 miles today in 2:00:58. This is actually 8 minutes slower than my best Half Mary time so I’m not too happy with it, but I still feel like I had a good run 🙂 The hills are still killing me, but they are not stopping me all together. Around mile 9 a little old lady with a…
