start small, think big.
it's always hard getting back into running after a long break. i delayed my training for two weeks because i couldn't stop hitting the snooze button, but now that i finally made it out the front door... i feel the excitement and energy after every run. i am getting closer and closer to my goal.
week one
16 miles
4 days

mini tier cakes.
mini tier cakes!! I had so much fun making these cakes.
helpful tips... 1. spray the pan with baking non-stick spray 2. only fill the cake molds to the top of the third layer 3. let the cakes cool completely before frosting (i put them in the freezer for 5 mins after I took them out of the oven) 3. put a cutting board on top of the pan and flip over (cakes should come out easily) 4. cut off the bottom of each cake to level

marathon.
226 days ago, I ran my first full marathon - 26.2 miles. the journey, the challenge, both physically and mentally, was amazing. if your goals don't scare you, they aren't big enough!
training for my second full marathon has
commenced. i will be running the California International Marathon “CIM” again this December. 138 days to go!!! training will consist of running 5 days a week and body sculpting/pilates 2 to 3 days a week.
last year I was able to beat my goal time by 4 minutes 20
seconds finishing at 4:25:40. i’m hoping to shed 25 minutes this year.
it will not be easy, but it will definitely be worth it.

glimpses from june 11-30.
while in New Jersey 21 long days in New Jersey. what an incredible experience. many days at the courthouse, late nights in the war room, ventured out to some wonderful restaurants and made time to workout in the hotel gym.
back in California i returned from Jersey the day after my 30th birthday. spent the next week and a half gardening, devouring my favorite foods, getting pampered at the spa, enjoying time with my friends, date night with my mum, and even indulged in some reading - a guilty pleasure.
