Week in Review: I Choose Happiness

January 5, 2014 Laura Runs a Latte Running plant-strong, Running, vegan, Vegetarian, weight loss

It was a good week for both food and running :) I went from 122 back down to 119, and I ran 29.4 miles. It's amazing what a difference logging everything makes! And for running, I decided to stop worrying about speed/pace, and just run for the sake of running. I think that's made … Continue reading Week in Review: I Choose Happiness
