Bethlehem Turkey Trot 5K + Thanksgiving Dinner
Happy Thanksgiving! Today marks my 13th (last probably last) race of 2010! And it was the first race I went to completely alone! Not that I minded, but it was weird not having someone there to wait with and chat with and meet at the finish line. Last year I ran the Troy Turkey Trot, and this year I decided to run the first Our Towne Bethlehem Turkey Trot! For one, it is way closer to where I live than Troy, and for two, there are less people running and I had a better a chance of PRing! I woke up early to the sun coming up in my backyard.…

Okay, its honesty time. A few days ago I wrote up a post about how awful I’ve been feeling lately about my eating habits, but I didn’t post it, it was more for myself. It pretty much said this: that I’ve noticed my some of my jeans don’t fit anymore and I’ve been feeling like I’ve gained weight, and that I’ve been too afraid to get on a scale to see if I have. This isn’t that post–but I’m going to be just as honest in this one by saying that I know I’ve gained about 10 pounds since I reached my “goal weight” (which was also my lowest weight,…

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Yes, they are amazing! Going with the theme I have this week, I have a recipe for you!! I can’t believe I have so many! Well, this one I didn’t really make up myself, its just kind of general knowledge that when you mix a can of pure pumpkin with a box of spice cake mix you have healthified pumpkin cupcakes. The cream cheese frosting isn’t healthy, though. 🙁 Originally I was going to color the frosting, but I decided not to, since I have Halloween theme sprinkles. Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients 1 box of spice cake mix 1 can of pure pumpkin non stick baking…

Apples and Wine and Running 9 Miles
Good afternoon readers! I’m relaxing right now because I’m exhausted from this morning’s Nine Miler. Phew. I can’t believe I ran another nine miles. I haven’t run that far since JULY where I ran 9.3 miles in my 15K. Holy crap! I felt much better today, though, than I felt that day! It must mean I’m in better shape than I was in July. 😉 This morning I woke up with a strong urge to bake. And I was sad because it was either bake or go running, and I knew I had to get my run in today. Then I realized I actually had TIME to bake, since I…
