Today much of my TThinking Out Loud centers around Chester, which I suppose is only natural. Except there was that little side trip into s'mores land . . . Don't search for healthy smores mug cake on Pinterest Trust me on this. It will lead you down a rabbit hole you really don't want to go down … Continue reading Is a Healthy S’mores Mug Cake an Oxymoron? TOLT

Resolutions
Tomorrow marks the end of 2015. I won't lie; it's a year I'm happy to be done with, but even with all the bad (you can read about my year in running here, and here, and here), there was quite a bit of good in there, too. I also know, for sure, that more heartache … Continue reading Resolutions
Running 2015, Part II
So we left off my 2015 running year in June (you can read part I of 2015 here and the 2015 Running Survey here), with running going well, a good half and a bad half, and some personal good and bad times (pun intended). July Darlene and I started to get together to run occasionally on … Continue reading Running 2015, Part II
Running Christmas Lights in a Sparkleskirt: 12/21-12/27 Weekly Wrap
A little more strength training, a little less yoga, but still on my #yogastreak. I was bound and determined to get in 3 ST sessions this week since last week I only managed 2, and despite a kind of busy and crazy week, I managed (thanks partially to my husband, who took Chester to … Continue reading Running Christmas Lights in a Sparkleskirt: 12/21-12/27 Weekly Wrap
5 Random 2015 Photos
Got random photos? Why yes, yes I do. And since I started this blog in June, I thought I'd try to share some I don't think have appeared on the blog (although they probably appeared on my Facebook page). Cynthia from You Signed Up for What?, Courtney from Eat Pray Run DC, and Mar from Mar … Continue reading 5 Random 2015 Photos
A white Christmas walks barefoot into a backpack: TOLT
That subject will make sense to you if you just bear with me and my Thinking Out Loud -- I promise. Why should Christmas be white? Explain to me why you so want Christmas to be white. I've lived in the northeast for the majority of my life and as far as I'm concerned, if it never … Continue reading A white Christmas walks barefoot into a backpack: TOLT
Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it (Greg Anderson)
Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain. --Joseph Campbell This quote really spoke to me. I am not a huge Joseph Campbell fan, and considering the dark books he wrote, I find it surprising that this quote is from him. I am sure a lot of people … Continue reading Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it (Greg Anderson)
Running 2015, Part I
It was the best of times; it was the worst of times -- that pretty much sums up my 2015! 2014 was a very disappointing year in my running. I don't think I PR'd anything, both my halfs were disappointing, and I ended up injured after my fall half and started back with C25k. January … Continue reading Running 2015, Part I
Last race 2015: 12/14-12/20 Weekly Wrap

Runfessions, End of Year 2015
I was so proud of myself for keeping my running journal up for more than just a few months, and it has come in really handy too: how many miles did I run? What exercises did I do after the last run? When was the last time I ran on the treadmill? Today I'm joining … Continue reading Runfessions, End of Year 2015
