Hello! I had plans to help at a local race last night (Ragnar SoCal) but my plans got changed at the last minute and it didn’t work out. Boo. But I have a lot of stuff to do with writing deadlines and spring cleaning so I decided to be efficient. What? Is that the sound of you being super jealous of my spreadsheet making, house cleaning Friday night? #blessed
Since I was home and had the time I decided to bake. See, total wild Friday around here!
Since I am occupied with eating and running and cleaning and having in depth conversations with Vegas about the benefits of cryo-therapy I am going to leave you with some weekend reading. First my favorite posts from this month.
Here are my best RUN, EAT and post I’d like to REPEAT for March 2016
My favorite run of the entire year so far has to be the Jerusalem Marathon.
I am really proud of myself for going to Israel alone (in that I didn’t know anyone else on the trip). I am proud of myself for running a very hilly race. I’m proud of myself for being brave when I was scared (of the hilly race, of being alone on a plane for 15 hours, of a lot of things…).
My favorite EAT
This has to be all the food in Jerusalem too. I loved that there was hummus at every meal. I loved that breakfast had tons of veggies. I loved the wine on the plane ride home…
Honorable Mention:
Fondue at Home! <- It was easy and delicious and cheese and bread. What more do you need?
My favorite post I’d like to REPEAT:
The trip to the Holy Land really touched my heart. I don’t feel the same as before. I can’t describe how it felt to stand in the same places Jesus walked and carried His cross. I feel that I want to make some things in my life right. I’m still struggling with some major issues, but I have faith it’s going to be okay.

I loved all your posts about you trip to Israel! Traveling alone can be super scary but totally worth it!
I ran the Ragnar Socal! Would have LOVED to see the Monican at one of the exchanges! 🙂
I loved your posts on your time in Jerusalem! I’m running the Paris Marathon this weekend! It will be my second and I’m all sorts of nervous and excited all at once!
Good luck!!!!
Oh wow that hummus looks incredible! Your whole trip is very inspiring and you should most certainly be proud! Well done! This weekend is spring cleaning for me…and trying to resist the left over Easter chocolate!
I’m currently on the train headed to DC. Cherry Blossom 10 miler tomorrow. Expo and dinner with friends tonight. 🙂
Good luck!!!!!
