Thankful that avoiding the treadmill has been so easy the past few days. 👍🏻

Didn't want to go for a run today, but I did. I was slow and I wanted to quit but I kept going. I haven't been running much lately and it's actually been since about mid December that I've ran consistently at all. Yup, good to know it's still hard. I signed up last week for the Glass City Half Marathon in Toledo, Ohio which will be on April 23rd. I'm going to use a Hal Higdon program again, today being the start. My hiatus is over! I'm also doing the Brooklyn Airbnb Half Marathon in May. So excited for that one! Also, anyone else been listening to the Stranglers podcast?? SO GOOD.

@busybeerunningfree omg they do! #longlosttwins lol 😸

As soon as I finish this mini bottle of champagne, I'm calling it a night and heading to bed. This grandma just can't hang. Ready to wake up in 2017!

I was enjoying coffee by the tree when I looked and spotted THIS bad boy chewing away. 🎄😾😂 Merry Christmas, friends!

@bestbrit thank you so much! I absolutely LOVE what you picked out for me and I’m so excited to pick out a record from Topshelf with the giftcard! Merry Christmas! 😊

I went to a Christmas cookie decorating class today and it was a success! My cookies turned out pretty good for the amount of wine I drank in the process... 🎄🍷

I'm glad I'm not the only one! Yes to all of that, it's so true. @aroundtherosesagain @amanda-healthyhappywhole @allalongtheroad Ladies you're the best. Thank you. ❤️

Monday chillin. After what seemed like FOREVER, my Detroit Half Marathon shirt finally came in the mail! Due to an issue with the manufacturer, they didn't have the shirts ready for us back in October for the race. Better late than never! My classes for the Fall semester are (finally) over, and now I'm currently celebrating with pizza and Portlandia. A++.
