I had a major stress tooth (instead of sweet tooth) this afternoon and had a random candy from a candy jar at work and half of this bar for a snack, I used to live off of these. I love when dinner is ready for you when you get home & that’s basically the case with leftovers! I just heated…

But…I didn’t bring my favorite shorts to Ben’s so my dress rehearsal wasn’t perfect. However it was a success, as in I finished 14 miles!…
