You can tell that I came up with my own half marathon training schedule since most don’t include an actual half marathon race less than a month before the one you’re training for. After the Spinx Run Fest, I discovered how much more I enjoy races than long runs by myself. I kept setting out […] 1. “If it’s after 3am wearing anything more than a wife beater is being overdressed.” –Ben Well, excuse me because I completely put on on airs at Fuel City at 3:30am. We left on Friday evening after work, and drove straight through without stopping for 17+ hours. I’ve driven that long before so that wasn’t […] This weekend was AMAZING. Even more so because I had been so anxious about it. For his birthday, Ben had received free VIP passes to the Atlanta night club The Opera.

How did I not know that such perfection in the form of food existed? Plus, the restaurant […] Instead of following my normal after-Christmas ritual of throwing all of my presents on the floor and rolling around in them while cackling with gluttonous glee, I went down to Georgia with Ben to see his family. The trip was quite delightful, and included a New Year’s Eve bash complete with firearms, pyrotechnic displays, and […] I just returned from a family vacation to Florida where I was lured with promises of a visit to Disney World where I could frolic with the mice.
