Training begins!

After being on vacation for a week there are so many things to get caught up on…  I hope you got to spend time with family and friends over the holidays… perhaps you still are…

I have blogged and written articles before about splurging on foods that are worth the extra calories… one of my biggest Christmas food splurges is on what might be the best cookie I have ever tasted…

It is a Paula Deen recipe called a White Chocolate Cherry Chunky… well I ate my last one with breakfast on Sunday morning as I was beginning my Shamrock Half Marathon Run training that day…

As I ate my bowl of whole grain cereal and topped off the meal with a White Chocolate Cherry Chunky… my husband looked at me funny… I said a cookie is kind of like a pastry…people eat those for breakfast all the time… and this is my last one for a really long time… after my wonderful breakfast had time to settle… I ran 4 miles with sprint intervals and the training began… this will be my third half marathon and I am looking forward to it… one of the greatest parts is that the whole course is FLAT!
