What do you think of my new banner? I made it yesterday using PicMonkey and it took about a whole whopping 5 minutes! Ahem, anyways... I'm currently on Week 5 of the 10k trainer app by Zen Labs, and Day 26 of the Runner's World Run Streak (#rwrunstreak). Ten days to go! I've spent the … Continue reading Last Week’s Run Summary

Happy Halloween!
Yesterday went rather well. I made much better choices food-wise, and the last of that Bailey's creamer is finally gone. I went grocery shopping shopping last night and scoured labels on the creamers to find one (that I like) that has no dairy. Seriously, this has been my one major obstacle to being vegan. I … Continue reading Happy Halloween!
