Walk Distance:  2 miles
Run Distance:  2.08 miles
TOTAL DISTANCE:  4.08 miles

Motivating Music:

• Bleachers, "I Wanna Get Better"

"And I miss the days of a life still permanent / Mourn the years before I got carried away / Now I'm staring at the interstate screaming at myself / Hey, I wanna get better / I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face / I wanna get better / I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change / I wanna get better..." 

• Macklemore, "Make the Money

"Now, this is my job / I will not quit it / Pulled me out the depths / When I thought that I was finished / Yeah, I questioned / If I could go the distance / That's just the work / Regardless of who's listening / See, I was meant to be a warrior / Find something amongst me / Leave here victorious..."

"And I had to find out who "I" really was / And who I really wasn't / So sick of who I was becoming / Yeah, tired of running / Time to look at the man in the mirror / So I could learn to love him..."

Back to Blogging

So, basically, I stopped blogging for a super long time a while. I don't have a reason; I've just been lazy. I read blogs, I participate on Facebook, I'm a Pinterest addict. And at least once a week, I mentally write a blog post (or a book chapter, or a song, whatever) at the most random of times, but I never get any of it out of my head. Yeah, lazy. So anyway, here is my effort, in earnest, to try to start blogging more. I'm a random rambler, so who knows what I might be stricken to write here, but we'll see. Today, it's this:

How to make a quick toddler smoothie (because I have a toddler now, wow!):

Add a snack cup of Multi-Grain Cheeries, the peanut butter kind if you're fancy, and you've got a full breakfast on the run. You're welcome!
