Happy Wednesday!
This morning is was COOOLD in Ohio. I woke up early to get to an appointment, and there was ice all over our windows. Our car has no heat or defrost or anything so it takes a while to de-ice on our car.
Can you see my poor scrape job on the side windows?

But on the BRIGHT side of things, the sun was shinning so brightly this morning! This is the sun coming up over our apartment. See that building on the right, our place is the top floor on the building.
I left my husband in bed when I left, he had worked the late shift at work so didn't get to sleep till around 3 am.
However!
When I looked over at the sun shinning so brightly, I see him walking out from our building. He had come to save the day and scrape my windows!
Now I know he was being nice, but I'm sure he just came out cause he thought I wouldn't scrape the windows properly and get in some horrible accident. He's been pretty paranoid since I have been pregnant but HEY! I'll never turn away the help!
On the plus side of things I got my husband to run with me this evening! This is not something that happens often, but he didn't work today. It was his first run since we did the turkey trot together (I beat him... 7 months pregnant). This man is not a runner, but he did run the Capital City half marathon with me! (I beat him)
:)
I admire him every time he runs with me and treasure the runs.

Cool app huh! I just started using it and so far I have been happy. I have never used a running app before, I usually just timed my runs and logged them on the daily mile site. I'm a no frills kind of girl. But I like this app cause I just press start and it does everything for me! (Fancy) It tells me my fastest mile, my slowest, my speed and distance, and so on. It even yells out my splits for me! I thought that was cool cause I can instantly judge how I feel based on my pace and I think that is going to help my training quite a bit this spring.
I'm sure this is WAAY old news for most people, but I just got this spiffy new phone and it's like my world has been opened up to me!
On a physical note-
The back of my hips hurt pretty bad today, and I got this way uncomfortable pain in my lower right abdomen the whole run, so nice and slow was the way to go.
Back at it tomorrow
Let's talk about my FAVORITE SNACK real quick.
PEPPERMINT BARK!
I can only make my own, cause it's too pricey to buy for the amount that I consume. So I bought dark chocolate (63% coco) and Ghiradehelli white.
Smashed a bunch a peppermints in a bag (good for taking out your frustration!)
Melted and spread dark and white chocolate all over the paper
Added a little red and white love
And BAM!
This really is the best dessert. I mean, it's straight sugar, but peppermint is amazing, and so is chocolate. And this IS the only time of the year where I make it, so I'll take advantage.
What is your favorite winter dessert?
