Cardamom Coffee Cake: Coffee cake…it was always a treat in our household. My Mom only made it on special occasions, but when she did, it seemed like it was always gone in a flash! Over the past few months, every now and again I’d all of a sudden crave coffee cake.

Well, today was a reason to celebrate…it’s National Sticky Bun Day (2/20/10)! I woke up early this morning, 6:30am [...] Week 18: Working Through the Pains… This week was a recovery week for us…recovery in a couple of ways.

This week started our second month of training and with that came our second third track practice where we were charged with a new challenge…hills! Everything else has been pretty quiet…we were unable to climb this week due to the pickup of our old fridge to be delivered [...] Week 4: Another Week Down and Some Great News… Week 4 Video We’re now in the process of closing in on our first full month of training and so far, so good! My shin splints are slowly getting better (yes, I know rest is best, but I am taking it easy) and our mileage is [...] Challenges Begin and a New Tasty Quick Bread Recipe Week three has come and gone with some success, and some new challenges posed to us.
