Chart taken from Nike+ web site after sync. Click here to see how I did it.
Here’s my mini recap…
- It took a lot to get me out of the door this morning.
- I wanted to break out of the 2 mile rut I’ve been in. (haven’t run much past that in a few weeks)
- Set the Nike+ to 4 miles.
- Ran the first two and then walked for a minute while I decided if I should simply turn around and go back or take the long way and face the… dun dun dun… hills.
- I decide to take the hills. Mostly because I don’t feel like turning around.
- Hills were killer! Had to stop and walk one of them.
- Post hills I slowed down again. Maybe this was the wrong decision?!?
- Naaaa I’m almost there. Let’s kick up it a notch.
- Arrived back home, out of breath and feeling like a MILLION BUCKS!
- I learn yet again… You never regret a run. Ever.

Sometimes I'll make something and then get obsessed, making it over and over and over again. It happened twice last week. First with The Most Amazing Bowl of Oatmeal EVER! I now have to stop myself from eating it every single morning. I decided to make a deal with myself [...] -
Four years ago I posted a photo journal of "The Toddler" and I making pizza. FOUR YEARS AGO! Click here to see it. Honestly, it's blowing my mind for 2 reasons. 1.) I can't believe how old my baby is and 2.) I can't believe I get to do it all over again with [...] -
I'm not kidding. I could not believe how good this was. A warm bowl of heaven. The combination of banana and chocolate chips is a favorite of mine. Add in just a touch of peanut butter and it's the perfect trifecta. Not only did it taste amazing, it filled me [...] -
I can't say enough good things about this book. The author doesn't hit you over the head with stead fast rules or try to sell some new catch phrase approach -- if I hear the phrase baby-led weaning one more time my head is going to explode -- she simple shares her thoughts, experiences and [...] -
I've recently discovered the amazing combination of cheese and dried cherries. I know, it sounds weird, but seriously… good! The other day I smeared some Laughing Cow Light Swiss on Cucumber slices and then topped with a cherry. It was a fun, sweet twist on standard cheese and crackers. Well, cheese [...] -
If I was a good blogger this idea would have been published BEFORE the Super Bowl not during it. I made these today to have a little fun. Surprisingly, The Husband liked them even though he didn't eat more than one. Why? Because he's strange like [...] -
If you read my weight loss blog you know I'm battling a bit of back and neck pain right now. I'm starting to feel a little better but those first few days where rough. Being the head chef of the household, this meant we ordered in a couple of times. I'm [...] -
I'm LOVING Pinterest! I can just scroll all day long looking at food photo after food photo. I wish I had more time to peruse! (I'm RoniNoone there by the way?) The other day I pinned a Portabello Mushroom pizza and was immediately inspired. It's such a simple idea and so light. [...] -
The other day I found myself craving an Orange Julius. Are they as popular as I think they are? Growing up we had an Orange Julius at our local mall. It was always a treat for us at the end of a family shopping trip. Once I was old enough to be [...] -
So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...] -
A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was immediately intrigued. So far I've only [...] -
I've had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot. The whole family LOVED it. I'm not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. So I'm sitting there staring [...] -
It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...] -
Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I've made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that's it, the best way to roast them. You'll buy that right? Right? The truth is, I'm obsessed. I found myself [...] -
Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...] -
I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast. I pulled it out and stared [...] -
I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...] -
Here's a quick idea for when you find yourself with a spaghetti squash but don't quite know what to do with it. Come on. Admit it. That's happened to you too. It's sure happened to me! I roasted this squash on Sunday... [...] -
I'm not sure if this will be a crowd pleaser, but I liked it and thought I'd share in hopes it inspires you to have some fun with kale. I loved the combination of sweet pear, earthy kale, salty bacon bits and creamy hummus. The only issue with the wrap was [...] -
I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me. Isn't that weird? Anyway, all morning I was brainstorming what to make for lunch. I wanted something flavorful [...] -
I have a friend who patiently cleaned, peeled and cubed a fresh pumpkin and then selflessly gave me some. Scratch that, a TON! I would have never even thought of doing something like that! But now that I have it in my fridge the ideas are flowing. First, I roasted some [...] -
CHRISTMAS COOKIES! YAY! Sorry. I'm so excited! Little Guy and I had tons of fun making and decorating cookies today. It may just be my favorite part of the holiday season. I loved it when I was a kid and now I get to do it with my own kids. [...] -
This may be my simplest idea yet, but it was so tasty and satisfying I had to share. Plus you guys know I'm a Laughing Cow Community Leader so I'm all about sharing fun ways to use their products. You guys may also know how I feel about pausing and making [...] -
I made this on Thursday. THURSDAY! I hate when I can't post something I've eaten within 24 hours. It just bugs me. Not sure why, it really doesn't matter when I post it, does it? Anyway, I did whip this up to cure a pizza craving and I couldn't be happier. [...]

that is so true! You may not always be happy with your performance, but you’ll still always be glad you laced up.
Love it! Good for you Roni! I’ve been running for years now and have never regretted a run :)
“You never regret a run. Ever.”
MAN ain’t those the truest words ever spoken… now if only I can remember those words in the wee hours of the morning…
Nice job pushing through…it’s really hard to break out of one of those ruts. I can’t say I’ve never regretted a run (I’m sure there has been at least one), but I totally love that feeling when you get done with one after nearly cutting it short. Super BADASS! :)
I was NEVER a runner but your posts inspired me. Last night I did day 1 of C25K. I felt like a million bucks after that little bit. Can’t wait til this evening when I can do day 2. I REALLY enjoyed it!
Jill – That is AWESOME! So glad you are giving it a try. I never thought I’d be a runner and 2 years later I’m STILL loving it!
I’ve negotiated myself through many runs over the years and you’re right – never ever have I regretted one I’ve finished!
That’s so true. I’ve never regret a run that I’ve done, either. But why is it SO FREAKING HARD to work up the motivation to just do it?!
awesome run!
So true, Roni! The runs that you struggle to get done, sometimes have the greatest sense of accomplishment at the end!
You’ve inspired me, too. I’m on day 3 of C25K. I did NOT feel like a million bucks after the first day, but I am REALLY out of shape. It was not as hard the second day, so I was motivated to continue because that felt like progress. Today I feel like a quarter of a mil, so I’m getting there. I’ve already looked up 5Ks in the area for September and October and am looking for a partner to help keep me motivated until then.
Good post and so true. I ran a half marathon a little over a month ago and have not done much since (2 2 mile runs). I need to get back out there! Thanks for the reminder :)
Way to go, Roni! :)
Loren, I felt compelled to tell you that in late 2008 I did the C25K and wrote about it, the good and the bad. I’ve have friends tell me that it’s helped them get through it. You should be able to get to it from clicking on my name, if you’d like to. (I don’t mean to take anyone off this page, though. I just thought maybe it’ll help. It’s like a journal for each running session.) –Shannan
So true – just so hard to remember when you first wake up. :)
Thanks Shannan! I just read through the whole thing, and I am sure I’ll come back to it many times over the next several weeks.
Roni’s page is already a habit. I don’t think she’ll mind that you sent me to your page, especially since your motives are good.
Of course I don’t mind! That’s why I blog! Love connecting people! :)
That’s great, Loren! I hope it helps in some way. Thanks, Roni. :)
I’ve never thought about it that way, but I’ve never ever regretted a run. Awesome mantra! I’m going to use that to get my workout mojo back.
YOU ROCK!!!!
Great post! You’re very inspiring! . I just found this 5 reasons to start running now and I think I’m convinced! Keep up the great running work!
That’s is so true. I am love with running and it’s only W1D3 of the c25k program!
So very true! I did my first 2mi after a loooooooooooong hiatus and it was AMAZING! Hard, I questioned myself, fought the urge to vomit(late, heavy dinner), but I DID it and it was SO worth it!
Way to go!
question… do you ever get shin splints!?!
I absolutely love running and i would do it ALL the time, but i keep getting shin splints. BAD. i was told i needed to get better shoes. Did that. let them heal. started running again and they were fine but they have slowly but surely crept back in.
Rebekah – Did you actually get measured? I think that’s as important then “a good shoe” Once I was analyzed for correct shoe support it hasn’t been a problem. Plus as your muscles start to strengthen they will happen less and less. I haven’t had them in well over a year but I did get them a lot the first few months.
