Confessions Of A Thief

October 12, 2011

In August, I posted a race recap of the OC Fair Fun Run.  I posted it to my Facebook as well, because let’s be honest: I’m a glutton for attention, though I pretend not to be.  I want feedback and reviews about this blog, because I’m a writer to the core and hope to make [...]

Tough Decision

October 11, 2011

I mentioned that with school (and full time work, and Monday  night soccer, and church, and an attempt at a social life) on the upswing, running has been next to nonexistent.  I’m a little upset about that fact, but am realizing that my exercise routine will have its ebbs and flows.  I’m trying to be [...]

Pumpkin Spice Muffins

October 10, 2011

It has been a whirlwind of a season here in these parts.  Weddings, school, and social life, oh my!  Somehow, blogging has gone by the wayside.  BUT, writing is needed to keep my sanity (or what is left of it), so I’m committed to posting at least twice a week.  Keep me accountable to that [...]

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies – The Breakfast Of Champions

August 15, 2011

Last weekend, I visited my parents.  In an effort to save money, they are now my hair stylists and help me dye my hair every month or so.  What, your dad never smothered gooey hair dye on your hair on Father’s Day?  Well, mine did! In addition to the Garnier party (Chocolate Chestnut, holla!), my [...]

This Is Why I Run

August 12, 2011

I came home from work last night a little frustrated.  Prior to leaving my desk, I edited my half marathon training log and noticed my workouts have been dwindling.  I exercised only two times the past two weeks.  No bueno. I didn’t beat myself up about it; I know there are times I will exercise [...]

OC Fair 5K Recap

August 9, 2011

In May of 2010, I ran the OC Half Marathon with my dad. It almost didn’t happen. I set two alarms, both of which were either faulty, or user error.  Lets go with the former, shall we? Long story short, my parents woke me up at 520AM.   My shuttle from the fair grounds left at [...]

Memory Lane

August 4, 2011

I’m in a good mood. I’m going to the fair to see Weezer tonight with the (friend who is a) boy. I love Weezer.  Their Blue Album is one of my favorites, even though it was released when I was in sixth grade!  I love going to shows, but the boy (who is a good [...]

Pinterest, Please

August 3, 2011

I have a bit of a ritual at work that my boss can never know about. After turning on my computer, some coworkers and I go to the break room for tea. I then come back to my desk, start Firefox, and read blogs.  Then, I check my email.  After the email is Facebook. Then, [...]

Weekend Wrap Up, and Half Marathon Training Update

August 2, 2011

This weekend was the perfect mix of fun, nothing, and productivity. But not too much productivity.  That would be crazy. Friday, the boy (not my boyfriend, so get it right.  He’s a boy.  He’s a friend.  We happen to hang out… umm… a lot.  Not that I’m a commitment-phobe or anything…) and I had a [...]

Homemade Granola Bars

July 29, 2011

I’m a fan of nutrition, but not a stickler.  However, when I have the choice of buying something in a box and making the equivalent myself, I will gladly choose the latter. Making my own snacks allows me to cater to my taste buds, while avoiding as much processing as possible.  Plus, the goods just [...]
