The holiday season is officially here! And my heart and belly are so full. We had a whirlwind week – it included a lot of driving for a little family time. Do I wish we didn’t have to drive as long and lived closer to my family? Yes! Do I…

Continue reading →: Almost the Season
I can’t believe that it is ALMOST THE HOLIDAY SEASON! Yes, all CAPS is completely necessary — because I cannot WAIT for the holidays. It is truly my favorite time of year. I love all the cooking, baking, time with family, time off work, and the magic of the season…

Continue reading →: Cold and Dark Mornings
Well, suddenly it got COLD here in Northeast Ohio, at least in the mornings when I run. One morning it was in the 30s and I was in a headband and gloves! This is a stark difference from last week, when it was I was in shorts. I have to…

We had yet another beautiful week here in Northeast Ohio. We kicked off the week with 70+ degree temps and it was a perfect fall week. The mornings were brighter, the weather was gorgeous – it felt like summer (70s/80s) in the beginning of the week, the sun was shining,…

I’m now at week five of having a broken toe, and I’m starting to get back out there to run. I’m starting slow and short, since my toe still doesn’t feel 100% normal, but I’m not sure how it’s supposed to feel, so maybe not normal is normal? Sunday started…

I love, love, LOVE white chocolate pretzels. My mom’s cousin (my Aunt Alice) used to make them growing up and it was a treat to get a tin of those during the holidays. Hers weren’t only delicious, but they looked great, too! She made chocolate-covered pretzels also, and while I…

If this were any other year, this would be a post about my wonderful September running update. I would talk about the fall season (best running season!), getting in some good races (Akron?) and total mileage. Alas, I had zero miles of running in September. The last time I had a…
