There are days where chocolate is, quite simply, required. There’s random cravings for no reason; monthly cravings for an annoying, painful, girl reason (because being a chick just sucks sometimes); and the simple fact that chocolate is a treat meant to be enjoyed. And isn’t life meant to be…

Continue reading →: Half Marathon Training Plan
Yesterday, I went over a recap of my magical half marathon race where I scored a p.r. through pure luck (or error, maybe?) I’m by no means a fast runner, but I’m suspiciously getting faster race by race. With a blissfully full schedule ahead of me, I have GOT to get my…
