Today's Workout: After our photo shoot, it was a nice 4 miler! Yes, my husband and I are going to be featured in our local newspaper regarding our road to the half marathon, weight-loss and helping raise healthy kids! Pretty cool and we're VERY excited! I'll share the story with pictures very soon. As for the half, it is only 8 days away...YES, 8 DAYS! My goodness, I wish I would be better prepared, but I'm afraid that my first half will certainly NOT be my best. But what matters is I've set a goal and I will achieve it!
I can't wait to post pictures of me crossing that finish line :)

So exciting - congrats on the newspaper article - that's awesome!
I put pb in everything, too! My favorite is on a banana, or on a brown rice cake and sprinkled with raisins. Good luck on the race! Yes, first half marathons are rarely the fastest ones...but it gives you a great goal to beat!
I am on the pb train for sure! Love to add it to my smoothies too.
And in my morning oats!
I am excited for your newspaper feature...will you post a link to it? I hope so.
Your half is getting so close...
:)
Is on a spoon the wrong answer?
I love an apple and PB. We use Natually More, it's a little gritty so it's a great match!
