Miss Zippy recently wrote "Tell me about your 2012" in running. I love the questions she posted on her site and thought it was a great way to look back on the past 12 months of running. Best Race Experience: Reach the Beach Relay Best Run: My first 20-miler in eight years with Gia and Lora. Before this run I wasn't sure I could even complete marathon training.

Project Runaroni {Giveaway}
The assignment: Make a recipe using Runaroni. I'm pretty sure what I made with my bag of Runaroni is a little outside the box.
