Never have I loved a yogurt more. See, I’ve always eaten yogurt as part of getting my daily “dairy.” And, I admit, it’s usually been the slightly sugary kind and I never totally loved it. I’ve also been a tad picky because I never liked...

As you all know, I’m quite the reader. Like, I’m usually reading 3 books at a time and so it is right now. I was reading four but I just finished one — “Maine” by J. Courtney Sullivan — which I selected for book club, which I am...

Like my new shorts? Well, good cuz they were cheap! I’m an abnormal chick, in that I don’t like to shop. It’s such a CHORE for me and browsing? Don’t even get me started. I hate browsing, which means I rarely find a good deal. I’ve solved...

Ahh the running saga continues! After last week’s battle of the back, I was feeling a teensy bit better this week. I took it easy over the course of the week and thought I might be back in the swing of things for the Saturday long run, which was for 10 miles....
