Sharing My Life One Bite at a Time
Woah. Today is flying by! And it’s already Wednesday! Short work weeks rule. Breakfast I started my day with a warm, creamy bowl of oatmeal with cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla soy milk mixed in.

I didn’t get my butt out the door until nearly 9:00 this morning, so I forced myself to take water with me on my run. I’m really not a fan of carrying water with me, but the last time I attempted a long run without any water, I almost died. I own a Fuel Belt [...]
