Go! St. Louis Halloween 5K

Maggie, Greta and I ran the 5K on Sunday.  Maggie & I did it in 34:40.  I came 8th out of 45 in my age category, so I was very pleased.  Maggie ran her heart out.  She was fantastic and kept up with me the whole way.  She would get further and further behind when we were walking, but she ran with me most of the way.

Coffee creamer

I found a recipe for coffee creamer on the Internet & thought I'd try it.  It was 4 dates, 1 can coconut milk and some vanilla.  You just blend it all together in the blender and voila.  I had high hopes for it, but I'm putting it in the failure category.  I think that the almond milk is just as good and way fewer calories, so I'll stick to that.....
