Last night I ran 8.6 miles as part of my Resolution Run and will get in the other 4.5 in about an hour - I registered for a (virtual) half marathon and already have the medal, so I have to finish earning it!

I meant to post this yesterday, for Meatless Monday, but then I went back and forth with myself whether to post it at all. I don't necessarily have an issue with posting dessert recipes, but I try to make them at least somewhat healthy. This recipe is nowhere near even resembling healthy. Each cookie is … Continue reading Meatless Monday: Best Ever Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today's recipe is inspired by Happy Herbivore. I've been bookmarking recipes to try out of her new "Light and Lean" cookbook, which I am just loving so far! Today I did my own variations of two of the recipes. The first one, Ginger Cabbage, I wasn't crazy about. The sauce was delicious, but I didn't … Continue reading Spicy BBQ Spinach Wrap

Today's recipe is a simple yet delicious (and mostly healthy) dessert. Also, since it only yields 10 balls, you could accidentally eat them all for about 1000 calories ;) Cocoa Nutty Dough Balls Ingredients: - 1/3c oat flour (you can grind up rolled oats) - 1/3c ground pistachios - 1/3c ground cocoa-roasted almonds - … Continue reading Cocoa Nutty Dough Balls

I made it over 4 miles before my tummy started acting up! I consider that HUGE progress since I normally "have to go" at just after a mile. Because I wasn't sure if I was going to have any issues I opted for the treadmill. I ended up doing 4.46 miles in 45 minutes. I … Continue reading Meatless Monday!

I took a few days off running, hoping I could straighten out my GI issues.

Like clockwork, as soon as I hit 1 mile … Continue reading Thai Soup recipe, and some Running rambling with TMI
