Happy Monday, I hope you had a great weekend! It was a beautiful Fall weekend here in Maine. I took advantage of the cool temps and decided at the last minute to run the Maine Half Marathon. Well, I say "run" loosely. I am still recovering from my race last week, so I did a walk/run for the event, which was great! It is hard to believe that it was over half the temperature here (45 degrees) as it was in Chattanooga (96 degrees). I did take some time to write up about that experience at Ironman Chattanooga, which you can read about <HERE>.
However, it is time to get back to normal life and move on from that difficult experience. I have definitely been a little depressed in the aftermath of not finishing the race. One thing that always cheers me up is spending time in the kitchen. So, this past week I have been doing a lot of baking and cooking. Yesterday, after the half marathon, I decided to make one of my all time favorite cookie recipes. These Oatmeal Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies are so delicious and easy to make. The entire family loves them!
