I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since my last post. I also can’t believe I’ve been a digital nomad for more than a month. Finding time to bake anything has been hard, and finding time to post about it even harder. But it’s high time I shared this simple and surprisingly delicious no-bake treat with y’all!

Particularly in contrast to my last race, the Gobbler Grind Half Marathon in Overland Park, Kansas was an absolute treat. It’s a lovely little race with good course support and fairly decent swag. Continue reading “Gobbler Grind Half Marathon: Race Review”
I’ve waited a while to write this… both because life is a bit chaotic at present, and because I can’t stop thinking “if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” And I’m honestly having a very hard time thinking of anything nice to say. But I’m running another half tomorrow, so I should probably get this over with. Shake it off, as Taylor would say, so I can start fresh. Continue reading “Spinx Run Fest Half Marathon: Race Review”
Yesterday morning, I ran 7 miles on the Swamp Rabbit Trail — possibly for the last time — packed up my stuff, and hit the road for the next 4? 6? 8? months.

(I can’t take credit for that one, it says that on the medal… but a punny medal makes me extra happy). Continue reading “Baltimore Running Festival Half Marathon: Race Review”
Normally, I opt for chocolate mousse on fancy dinner menus. I’m a chocolate kinda gal, though I can appreciate a good vanilla from time to time. But this delicious concoction combines the best part of chocolate mousse (the chocolate, duh) with the ever-so-satisfying crunch of a crème brûlée. Plus, I got to play with my blow torch! Continue reading “Rich Dark Chocolate Crème Brûlée”
This post is rather belated given that (in theory) my least favorite running season is finally coming to an end. I wish the weather forecast would get the memo, though. It’s Fall, for pity’s sake. It has been Fall for almost two weeks! But this weekend’s 11 mile run in 75°, 90% humidity was brutal. In practice, South Carolina is still clinging to summer.
