I know I'm late with this, and have also been M.I.A. lately. I'm sorry. My office has been without internet off and on for the past week or so, and it's been a total nightmare. So when I get home it takes me several hours to catch up on everything I missed during the day, … Continue reading Last Week’s Run Summary, Marathon Training, and Baked Falafel

3- week unexpected hiatus, sorry!
Yeah yeah, I'm a terrible blogger, but this time I have a legitimate excuse ;) I was completely derailed with a 3-week bout of walking pneumonia AND an upper respiratory infection.

Wow, it's brutally hot outside today! TGFT! That would be "Thank Goodness for Treadmills!"
