It is a new month!

Which I am taking as a clean slate, a starting off point for an even healthier, more active, lifestyle.

I have my best friend’s wedding in 2 months, and I want to be able to look at the pictures and not hate what I see (which has been the case for pretty much the last 2 years).

Not to mention the fact that marathon training is kicking into high gear, so I really need to get focused.

New month, new focus!

Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cookies!

~

This is one of those incredibly easy recipe where all you have to do is mix a handful of ingredients you can always have on hand and 15 minutes later you have a healthy tasty snack! You can try adding white chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts or any combination to make it a more interesting cookie but I liked the simple brown sugar oatmeal taste.

Just made these!  So GOOD!  Substituted coconut oil for the butter, and I have no doubt you can mix some protein powder in there, along with nuts or dried fruit 🙂

30 Day Running Challenge: Day 18

What are your PRs? Time, distance?

My PR during a half was 2:03.. and I am determined to beat that!

My best chipped time during a 5k was 27 minutes, but I clocked in at 21:22 while running 3 miles one night.  I was fueled by rage at something and was just killing it!

I hope to set a PR of under 5 hours in my marathon, so fingers crossed.

Again, I am not a fast runner, but I keep it movin’!
