Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

WIAW – A Day at the Market

It's Wednesday, yet again, and that means it's WIAW! Breakfast I had a piece of toast with half pb&banana half avocado. I had the exact same thing when I got home from cross country. One piece of toast isn't enough for breakfast! LunchΒ  Since it was like 90 degrees out I wanted something … [Read more...] about WIAW – A Day at the Market

8th Grade Recognition

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

Yesterday I took a trip with a group from church to the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. It was so nice to get away for the day and hang out with nature!

WIAW – Dad’s for Dinner

Hey everyone! It's a great day because it's WIAW! i.e. my favorite day of the week. These are Monday's eats!

Currently

Hey everyone, long time no see! I've been tagged by Miranda to do this little survey floating around, and I thought now would be the perfect time! But first I'm gonna talk a little about what I've been up to. I've been at "the cabins" with my dad's family for the past couple of days. I'm supposed to … [Read more...] about Currently

Avocado Turkey Salad

What really bugs me is when people spell avocado wrong. Everyday on Pinterest I'll see "avacado" or "avocodo". Come on people! #grammarnazi Anyway, I think it's finally time that I share this wonderful little treat with everyone. I've been making it (almost daily) this past month but am yet to … [Read more...] about Avocado Turkey Salad

Thanks for hosting, Jenn! You guys should be extremely proud of me. I putΒ effort in toΒ all three meals!Β Say whaat? Yep! A … [Read more...] about WIAW – Protein Pancakes

Lake Antoine Classic 15k

Ever heard of a 15k? Me either, which is why I had to run this race! I know I didn't let anyone know I was running, but I didn't even know I was running until the day before the race. Prerace dinner = So a 15k. Three 5k's. 9.3 miles. I had no idea how I should plan to run. Keep a fast pace? … [Read more...] about Lake Antoine Classic 15k

Loving Life

YesterdayΒ started right - cross country running group! "Official" practice starts on August 12th, so these are just open runs. We did mile repeats and my splits were: 7:24, unknown, 7:07, 6:49.
