Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
I have finally matured enough to be able to see the bright side to an almost-sad ice cream situation. Normally when Cold Stone Creamery is out of my favorite chocolate-dipped waffle bowls, I complain, huff and then puff, complain again and then storm out.

I am not one to focus on numbers but this really bothered me yesterday. See that 5.88 miles? It is missing a .12. I went for an easy-paced outdoor run yesterday morning.
