Going Through the Motions

Life gets crazy, what can I say?

Here's what I can say:

• I resigned from my job last week! I also didn't get a chance to cook one dinner at home.
• I accepted a new job and will start in a couple weeks. I did cook a homemade pizza and a Le Creuset full of chili this weekend, though. Neither recipe was blogworthy, but I will say thin-sliced Brussels sprouts and sweet potato on pizza are worth the peculiar looks you may get from your significant other.
• Two weekends ago I ran the Stu's 30K. I had moments of manic happiness and others of total misery, but for the most part, it was an amazingly hilly race that mentally prepared me for Boston, and I finished in 3:21. This past Sunday, I was supposed to run 20. Ran 6 and did yoga instead.
• I've planned a bit of travel into my schedule. Travel posts to come! Hint:

• Fitbloggin' is this weekend in Baltimore. Can't wait to travel with one of my favorite bloggers and meet some new blog friends!
• I did a great workshop at work about sugary beverages. Did you know there are 19 tsp of sugar in a 20-ounce Mountain Dew? There are 8 in a Vitamin Water, and 13 in a chocolate milk.
• I finally read this month's Eating Well magazine, and am dying for someone to make me avocado ice cream.
• I have a March Madness bracket challenge and Trivia night planned for fundraising measures in my attempt to finish up my fundraising. I suggest you check out March Madness. I ask that if you enter a bracket, please make a $5 donation to my fundraising page per entry. To enter a bracket, check out Jess's Marathon Bracket Challenge, make an account, pick your teams, and if you get the highest percentage of games picked correctly, you could win 50% of the pot, and a chance to win $10,000 through ESPN!
• Thanks again to everyone who has contributed. It's meant the world to me that I can rest one dollar easier each time you make donation here. Thanks for helping me sleep at night. :-)
• So, my dear blog readers, you will see that my culinary adventures have been quite sad recently. But, there's much excitement on the horizon.

Happy Monday!
