Classic No Bake Cookies

I made these all the time as a kid. Here's to keeping those fun traditions alive.



Chocolate Oatmeal No Bake Cookies
1/2 C Butter
2 C Sugar
1/2 C Milk
4 Tbsp Cocoa
1/2 C Peanut Butter
3 1/2 C Quick cooking Oats
2 tsp. Vanilla
Add the first 4 ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil, and boil for 1 minute. Stir in the next 3 ingredients and drop onto wax/foil paper. Let cool until set.

The Fitness Goal of 2013


I haven't shared it, because I am still wondering if I can do it.

I think I can. The goal is to do a half marathon every quarter.

That may seem like a lot. But since one of my goals is to run consistently three times a week, doing a half every three months is easily supported by the weekly goals.

What I do want to see happen is the halfs become easier. I want to stay away from the dark thoughts I have at about mile 11 that make me want to quit oh so badly.....

There will be some tweaking of the training but for the most part, this is very doable.

So far, I did the "Hip Hop Half" in March. The next ones I am looking at are:
Helvetia Half on 6/8
Guardian Project in September
Potentially the Holiday Half, which I did last year. There are some other holiday themed ones I have my eye on so I haven't made a final decision on those yet.

So, the question is......have I run today?

Standing in my workplace just looking at me accomplishes nothing.
