Breakfast Fun!

One thing that I love about weekends is the ability to whip up a more complex breakfast than I do during the weekdays.  Let's be honest - I like to sleep in.  I am not an early riser.  I don't leave myself a lot of time in the mornings before work to make a great… Continue reading Breakfast Fun!

Running

My Challenge: 6 Weeks to a 5k

I'm not new to running.  I've been a "runner-in-progress" for over 4 years now.  My running started in January 0f 2008 when a friend of mine, Heather, decided to get healthy and lose weight.  We started working out together, which included running.  I remember a huge sense of accomplishment with her when I ran my… Continue reading My Challenge: 6 Weeks to a 5k
