[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Despite the weather, I’ve got a little extra pep in my step today. I’m like the sprightliest thirty-year-old to ever live. Maybe. More likely, it’s that I ate chocolate for breakfast. And not just any chocolate, but Buddha chocolate handmade by our neighbors…

Today: Hot on my heels.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I promise to stop talking about Christmas the moment our tree comes down (which will be tomorrow, to the tune of $20 made payable to our condo association… we’re picky about pine needles in the lobby around here apparently), but what follows was…

Today: Jingle all the way.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]This weekend’s festivities and bone-chilling temperatures were exactly what I needed to kick my holiday spirit into high gear. From a cheesy date movie and staying up way past my bedtime to wrap presents, to the annual Jingle Bell 5k and a pre-Christmas…

Today: The healthy shelf.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false](I summoned all my willpower to not title this post The healthy shelfy. I love a rhyme. Especially ones that involve made up words.) We have quite the healthy collection of books in our housecondohold. I’ve been making an effort to clear out…

Today: Back in the saddle. And in the ring.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]After spending nearly two weeks whining (which, it turns out, does not count as exercise), I successfully made it through an hour of fighter conditioning at the boxing gym, and a soccer game (we won, finally) nearly pain-free. My little foot is on…

Today: A few of my (current) favorite things.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens (ew, I hate cats). Let’s just cut to “a few of my favorite things.” Basil grown from seed I started growing these little guys from a seed kit early this summer. While the basil isn’t quite…

Today: Follow the signs.
As I’ve mentioned once before, marathons aren’t easy. That’s sort of the point. This past weekend’s ING NYC Marathon nearly broke my foot (or maybe it did? I haven’t made it under an X-ray device quite yet.), but New York City stole my heart. It’s…

Today: The home stretch.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Between the long weekend and unusually high temperatures, today feels much more like a summer Saturday than an autumn Sunday. After dragging myself out of bed yesterday to finish my second-to-last long run before the marathon, I was so happy to be able…

Today: A day late, a mile and a half short.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]3.1 plus 9.4 does not equal 14. Even I know that. I woke up Saturday feeling the effects of all of those sprints, lunges and squats at Fighter Conditioning and decided to delay my long run by one day. I planned to crank…
