Ben and I saw Julie and Julia last night. I liked it! I normally only like trashy comedies like The Hangover and the timeless classics like Tommy Boy. But, we both really enjoyed it. Maybe it was because I saw some of myself in Julie? And it made Ben happy to know that I am “normal for a blogger” and…

Happy Face
This is my happy face before my run this morning. I was determined to make this run good. After 2 bad long runs I have been really discouraged so I took a look at my training plan, fitness level, fuel, rest and pride and decided I needed to change some things up. I cut back on my mileage after coming…

Steak Prostitute
I am a “Steak Prostitute”. Let me explain…There is something I really really want to do and I kinda need Ben to agree with it before I do it so I needed to persuade him. I had it – a genius idea! Steak! Now, I know I am a hypocrite because I don’t eat meat*, but these are desperate times…

RUSH!!!
Don’t you hate it when you’re in a rush in the morning. I dashed out the door feeling like I was forgetting something. I hate that! But, it was completely my fault because I chose not to make lunches the night before and I overslept on my alarm. The combination made for a frantic morning! Today was a Rest Day…

Pick a treat
I have a lot of things to do, but I would rather mess around. I need to get on task! This afternoon I had another snack of trail mix. When I got home I had random bites of leftovers when I decided to plate a meal. I had sweet potato “fries” and a big salad with hummus. After dinner I…

I Love Rotta Wine
***This post is from Friday – for some reason it never got published. I’m just posting this for tonight because I’m having computer problems – must be all that porn I’ve been looking at…*** I got home and did my new “30 minute wait” before eating and it totally worked. I bet the chocolate chip muffin helped keep me from…
