The official countdown to my first Spartan Super has begun! I only have 8 weeks to get my butt in shape to run a race consisting of 8-10 miles and 24-29 obstacles. Competitors don’t know how far or how many obstacles are in the race until standing at the start line ready to take off….

Kale Chips

Almond Butter Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Dates
Is it really Monday already? Why must weekends just fly by, WHY?! Saturday was a girls day spent driving the country side from winery to winery to brewery. It was wonderful. Over the last 6 months or so, I don’t indulge in alcoholic beverages like I used to. I don’t really have a specific reason…
