back in the groove

At the beginning of November, I ran the Battleship half marathon in Wilmington, North Carolina. It was a lot fun! I love to run. It is so exhiliarating! I took about two months off from running (way too much time off), but this week I finally got back into the groove of running and I am training for my next race. I will be running in the Krispy Kreme Challenge in Raleigh, North Carolina.

The Krispy Kreme Challege is where you run 2.5 miles, eat one dozen donuts, then run another 2.5 miles. It should be interesting! I am excited to see how I, along with hundreds of others, perform.

And the miles keep coming ...

Holiday Treats

I returned to work after Christmas and someone asked me how my Christmas was. When I returned the question to the person who asked me, she said, "fattening!" I was like ME TOO! What a great response she had. Although the holidays are such a fun time for me, they are also very fattening!

I love eating the special homemade sweets and treats people make; I especially love my mother's homemade goodies! It all happens during only one out of 12 months though. I always feel like I want to eat everything during the holiday season since I only get to eat it one time a year.

If only we could have these goodies all year round...
