Such a perfect day!

Oh it's such a perfect day I'm glad I spent it with you. Now I'm going to have to listen to some Lou Reed to cap off this awesome freaking day. I slept until 7 then got up and made the family whole wheat waffles. After that I decided to make whole wheat chocolate chip cookies. I have been craving chocolate chips cookies since Christmas. I seriously could live on Chocolate chips. This was my first time using whole wheat for chocolate chips. It was also my first time ever using Enjoy Life semi-sweet chocolate mini chips. I found this product while looking for chocolate chips that do not contain soy lecithin. If you have another brand you use please share it with me. I found this recipe on Pinterest from Heather's Recipes.

Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies
Adapted from Heather's Recipes

Ingredients:

2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
1 cup butter room temperature 
1 teaspoon vanilla 
1 egg
2 1/4 white whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 teaspoon salt
1 package Enjoy Life semi-sweet chocolate mini chips

Directions:

Mix sugars, butter, vanilla and egg in standing mixing until well blended. 

Add flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until incorporated. 

Then spoon mix in the chocolate chips.

Use cookie scoop to place dough on parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

Cook at 375 for 9 minutes.

Yields 5 dozen cookies

After I made the cookies of course We had to sample a few right away they were amazing. I was looking forward to having a handful as my post run snack with a tall glass of organic whole milk!!

Next I started to get ready for my run by eating some overnight oats and drinking a tall glass of water. I usually try and eat and drink something about a hour before my run.

I had a nice run even with wet feet. After awhile I got used to splish splashing through snow melting puddles. My goal was 14 miles today and I damn near made it. I logged 13.5 miles on my watch. I ran into some stomach issues around mile 11. I'm going to go ahead and blame Nonna's Toated Poundcake for the stomach issues. Honestly it was probably my entire meal last night at Maggianano's. I was out late last night for a friends birthday celebration and ate way more than I normally would and was up way later then I normally am. Lesson learned! I'm now showered and snuggled on the couch next to the most adorable 23 month old baby girl. I hope you had a great day today too!

50 Miles of Bliss!

I can not possibly put into words the exact feelings I had about crossing the finish line of the NorthFace Endurance Challenge in DC over the weekend. I trained long and hard for this event. I doubted myself over and over again during the weeks leading up to 4/28/18 but knew I had to give it a go.  Driving down to DC the night before the race with my husband and friends I started to feel excited but my nerves were still high. I was thrilled that my husband and Kelly came down to support Miki and I as we attempted another 50 miler.  Lets back track for a moment. In 2016 I trained for a 50 mile event that had a 14 hour cut off. The race was a total wash. It rained the entire week before the race and then the whole duration of the event. The trail conditions were so poor that it made running extremely difficult for me. I spent hours and hours walking a sliding in the mud. My attitude was terrible. I had such high hopes for that event and they were crushed by poor weather. I c

New Year! New You!

Yes I know we hear this year after year! What if this year we did actually stick to our resolutions and we did actually incorporate some healthy changes into our lives? For you what would that change look like? For me I really need to get back on track with my eating. To be exact I need to cut out sugar from my diet, refined sugar. I am telling you when I eat sugar I wake up feeling hungover. If you know me you know I dont drink so feeling hungover is not something that I want to feel. I have set a few goals for myself for the year. I like to share them with others to help hold myself accountable. 1. Run another 50 miler. 2. Become fully Self Employed. 3. Practice Yoga more. 4. Run the Grand Canyon 5. Be more peaceful. For each one of these goals to become my reality I need to create actions steps. For the running goals I have training plans. For the financial goals I have milestones I need to make in my doTERRA business before I am able to leave my day job. For the spiri
