āĀ¦ woken up at 4:45 to run.
That’s right. I set my alarm for 4:45 this morning, but for a good reason!
I met the Back on My Feet (BOMF) Father Bill’s Place team for an early-morning workout! It was wonderful meeting the team and starting our day with a run/walk at the YMCA. (Once it’s warmer, we’ll start running outside.)
You guys will hear a lot more about the team in the coming weeks. I’m just getting my feet wet, but I amĀ already excited about being part of this organization.
Never have I everāĀ¦
āĀ¦smoked a cigarette.I’ve never even considered trying one. Eww.
āĀ¦eaten dinner in the North End of Boston. I’ve lived in Boston for almost a decade now and have yet to enjoy some delicious Italian food from the North End. Mal is in the same boat. We need to get on that, huh?
Breakfast
When I returned home from meeting the Father Bill’s team, I made myself breakfast. My stomach was grumbling, so I fed it banana oatmeal with pecans, chia seeds, and a big scoop of Teddie peanut butter.
I also drank an iced coffee with soy milk. Boy, did it hit the spot.
Question of the Day
What are some of your Never Have I Evers?
P.S. South Boston & South Shore folks: The Father Bill’s Place team is looking for volunteers!!!

Love the North End! Whenever I come home we head that way for dinner and canolis. YUM!
You MUST go to Monica’s Trattoria in the North End! They make all their own pasta, and their sauces are to-die-for. Make sure you go to the trattoria, not the restaurant, as its smaller and more quaint. It’s the one by the 24-hour bakery….you’ll love it!
I’ve never been to a blogging seminar…buttt thats going to change now because I just got the okay from my boss to rearrange my work schedule on May 20-21 and can now attend FitBloggin!!!!!! š
Never Ever Have I….been skinny dipping…caught an actual fish…had my legs waxed.
Never have I had a child, bungy jumped, eaten durian or travelled to France. I plan on going to France one day, and I’d be game to try durian, but I won’t be having kids or bungy jumping in this lifetime!
Never have I ever (but would like to some day) gone sky diving, been to Ireland, gone surfing, had a child, or had a full-out spa day ( I think I want that one soon!)
pizzeria regina! you have to go!
Never have I ever seen Titanic (and I refuse to watch it now just out of principal), nor have I ever wanted kids…people keep telling me that will change, but I’m 29 and well, I still prefer dogs š
You have to try La Galleria 33 in the North End…AMAZING!!
I’ve never gone skydiving or bungie jumping either, and don’t feel a burning need to do either.
I’ve never been to Ireland, even though some of my mom’s family is from there. I have been to Scotland, England and Wales. Gotta get to Ireland!
I had to smoke in a play once. It was disgusting.
You must go eat in the North End! Any place there will be great!
Never have I ever…purchased a shot glass!
I’ve never smoked a cigarette either. Yuck!
I’ve only woken up that early to catch a flight. š
Thanks so much for joining us this morning for our run! We have quite a group and I am so glad you have decided to join us!
Never had I ever not had that little voice in the back of my head telling me I will fail. But I’ve gotten much, much better at ignoring it. š
I also woke up early this morning to run. I wasn’t going to, but then I remembered that I’m running a marathon in October and if I didn’t run I’d only be hurting myself.
I have never ever drunk coffee!! š
I’ve never smoked a cigarette either. In fact, I’ve never inhaled anything into my lungs except air (and maybe second-hand whatever). I feel like trying to inhale smoke would be like trying to breathe underwater and it freaks me out!!
Never have I ever…
Skinny Dipped, I won’t even go in my own fenced in pool (my husband thinks I’m such a dork š )
Drank Egg Nog
Eaten Chowder
Never have I ever waxed any part of mybody….been drunk.
I’ve never smoked a cigarette either! I would have no idea how to do it! I have, however, gotten up that early to run but I HATE it. I am not a morning person.
I used to love playing that game! Never have I ever lived completely alone (first with parents, then with roomates, back with parents, and now my husband).
I’ve never smoked a cigarette. I’ve never had an alcoholic drink. I’ve never had an ice bath. For a runner (5+ years), 3 marathons and 4 half’s, that’s saying something!
gotta love this game. COME to the North End. And come to my blog if you need help deciding were to eat. (I live there!!) š plus its restaurant week in Boston so there is no better time.
Mamma Maria & Prezza are my latest favorites, just FYI.
Just a hole in the wall, but try Ernesto’s Pizza on Salem Street. Warning: one slice is a 1/4 of a large pie! Learned that the hard way.
I have never been west of Dubuque, Iowa.
Never have I ever smoked, hallelujah š
I’ve never smoked a cigarette either – blech!
You’ve never eaten in the N. End!? You and Mal must add that to your list of things to do! My never have I ever for today is…never have I ever eaten salmon. š
Oh my goodness, you MUST go to the North End for dinner. My favorite restaurant ever is there. It’s called Trattoria Il Panino which is on Parameter St, right off of Hanover… its sooooooo good. And then afterwards go to Mike’s Pastry for the best cannoli’s ever! I eat there every time I go to Boston and I’m never disappointed š I think they have a website if you want to check out the menu.
I concur that you need to eat dinner in the North End. Every time I visit my friend in Boston I ask to go there! I like Panza a whole lot. The eggplant parm makes me swoon. Here’s the website if you’re interested. It’s not as fancy as the website makes it out to be š

Never have I ever smoked or been drunk..pointless to me š
I’ve never smoked a cigarette either, BLEGH!!! also I’ve never had Chia seeds, can you believe it?!
I have also never smoked… even though everyone else in my family does.
Never have I been to Portugal… but I hope to go this summer.
I love the game Never Have I Ever haha. So good.
Anyway, I just wanted to say you HAVE to try the North End and I have no idea how you have been missing out for so long!
Never have I ever cleaned and sliced my own pineapple… I always buy them already done for me!
Never have I ever loved gherkins!! Eurgh lol
Never have I ever been drunk before …and I’m 25!
oooh you definitely need to hit up the north end. when my hubby and i were in boston we loved seeing all the cute places with their outdoor seating. we ate at one place one night but i wish we could’ve spent a leisurely afternoon sitting outside somewhere drinking wine š
also, props to you on the early wakeup! I actually spent all summer waking up at 4 am on Thursdays to get my long run (marathon training) in and beat the st louis heat!
never had I ever:
run a full marathon
Been farther west than oklahoma
eaten shark or deer
Never have I ever run a race (that will change this weekend!)
When you do go to eat in the Italian (North) district, you’ve gotta try Giacamo’s! So delicious! It’s a tiny little place and usually has a wait, but it’s usually quick for a party of 2 to get in.
I’ve noticed that so many people say it like that now! When I was younger we played “I’ve never…” And now all I ever see is people talking about “never have I ever.”
So mine is “I’ll never say ‘never have I ever’ because all of those extra words are so unnecessary!!” lol
sung Veggie Tales style, “And I’ve never been to Boston in the fall.”
ok, that’s not true for me, but whenever I hear the phrase I’ve-never-been or something similar, I always think of that silly song.
Good for you not smoking, bad for you not eating in the NE.
Check out Artu. Dare ya!
