Happy New Year!!!!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy arrival of the New Year.  Unfortunately I fell asleep.  From what I was told it sounded like a war zone outside the house, and  I slept right through it.

I spent most of the morning getting my race schedule planned for 2015.  It also marks the official start of my ambassadorship with NUUN!!!  This is my favorite flavor tri berry.

December was a great running month I increased my mileage significantly with 181 miles.  I am going to keep track of all my miles in 2015 and am setting a personal goal of 2500, which is totally attainable.

My first race is on January 3, 2015, it is an eight mile hilly run.  I am looking forward to it!!!!  My next run after that one is in New Orleans on January 25, 2015 a full marathon, I have never been to New Orleans so I am very excited.

I was going to cook a traditional New Years good luck dinner, however, I am sick to my stomach today.

Sad news about the guinea pig, it passed yesterday, we cried a little, but know it is not suffering anymore.  This is the third one to die on us.

I am really looking forward to reaching many personal bests this year running. I plan on staying out of the hospital, I plan on finding happiness every day.  I am going to work on my blog, no body ever comments on it, so I am not sure if anyone is reading it, or if anyone actually likes it.

Enjoy your New Year!!!

Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, I love Kroger!!!

Today is Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.  It is pathetic that the acts of today's society, for instance Ferguson, have overshadowed real history that made this country great.  

Does anyone else love Kroger? Up north it is Giant Eagle. I love their sales and Friday freebies. Friday freebies is of course on Friday where Kroger gives a product away for free. All you have to do is download the coupon onto your shoppers plus card.  This week was Kraft barbecue sauce!! Zachary puts barbecue sauce on everything. Plus they have awesome sales all the time. I love whole foods for their unique selection of healthy foods, but for everyday needs Kroger is my go to.

Got twenty two miles in this weekend running. The weather has absolutely sucked lately. It would be nice to see the sun for more than a couple minutes each day.

Congratulations to all the St Jude runners who participated in the Memphis marathon weekend. This is such a great cause to run for, I will definitely run it next year!

Do you have a favorite grocery store? What is it?

How was your weekend?

Nothing better than baking, rest days suck

Baking has to be one of my favorite things to do in the fall.  I love the smell of baking in the house. I am sitting here loving the smell of banana bread baking in the oven.

  I used a recipe from Flours bakery.  I will post it tomorrow. It is the moistest banana bread I have ever had, because they use sour cream in the batter.

Taking a rest day today, stomach not feeling it today.  Tomorrow will be my last speed work before the Turkey Trot on Thursday.  I hate rest days, I know I need them but I feel so lazy.

I did a marathon yesterday, lol.  Do you people watch?  I am guilty, I watch people too much.  So as I was sitting in the theater I had a great opportunity to watch people. What did I see?

1) Obesity is real,  I could not help but to notice for every one average sized person there were five    obese people.  Bad enough, but do you really need that large popcorn, large soda, and candy? It is not funny to laugh at yourself because you can barely fit into the theater seat.  That is called a sign, to do something about it!!!!!

2) Sagging.  I have never heard anyone say "look at that man with the sagging pants isn't he sexy."  Why not? Because that has to be the most ridiculous thing ever.  Sagging actually started in the prison system as a way to let other inmates know you were "available."  Police officers love sagging because when a "sagger" tries to run, they can't.

3) Obnoxious people. Seriously must you rattle that effing bag the entire movie? Must you chomp food so loud I can hear it over the movie?  Are you so important that you have to check your phone every five minutes, I doubt it.  Where was this guy yesterday?  

Mockingjay was an awesome movie, the ending left you hanging on the end of your seat. Can't wait for part two.

What are your weekend plans? 

What is your favorite thing to bake?

Do rest days make you feel lazy?
