I love exploring new areas on foot, but it does get kinda frustrating during a long run when I hit a dead-end in the path and have to turn around and find another route – over and over! I am happy to report that it is pretty cool for July (maybe it’s always like this in July and I’m used…

A new runner?
I needed to go to a running store for fuel belt replacement water bottles and ended up at Roadrunner. Anytime I go into a running shoe store I check out any clearance items they have in case they are selling something cheap in my shoe/size. Luckily (?) I have massive feet and often score!!! I got this pair of Supernovas…

Start you watch
Apparently pressing “Start” is a little too much for me to remember and I was half way through my run before I realized I never started my Garmin. Oh well, I was there, I know it happened 🙂 I am having trouble uploading pics, so I thought I would treat you to bore you with a pic of the people…

I walked home from work today which is about 3 miles. It seemed like a good idea this morning, but since…

Rachel Ray says you should separate english muffins with a fork. And since she is so likeable 🙂 I choose to follow her advice. I made a smoothie and english muffin breakfast. I bought a huge batch of naners from Costco this weekend and didn’t realize that even though they are still green (!) they are ripe since I just…

That new coffee smell
I worked at Starbucks for 2 years in college. I have always loved the smell of coffee, but not the taste. This kinda sucked since I had access to all the coffee/espresso I wanted while working. Plus they would give us one pound of free coffee a week! To this day I am not a regular coffee drinker, but I…
