runnin' on empty?

If you follow me on Instagram (@cobbs_hill) you know that I hinted at what these bars are. Now that the weather is finally warming up, the daunting "bathing suit season" is looming and it has motivated me to get back into my workout routine. Also, the Boston Marathon is the day after Easter and every time I watch the marathon I feel like a real slacker for not exercising my measly 25 minutes vs. running 26.1 miles!

As many of you may remember, last year the Boston Marathon took on a new meaning with the bombing at the finish line. I did attend the race last year, with some of my family, and thankfully we were at the halfway marker. I know this year will be so emotional for all those involved; many of the injured will be included in the race, as well as all the runners who didn't get a chance to finish it last year. Boston Strong paraphernalia came out as a result of the bombing, but we didn't need a bombing to know we were strong. Look at our sports teams. Look at our universities. Look at the way people drive around here. Boston has always been a tough, strong city and I'm glad that I'll be at the halfway marker again this year, with maybe one of these energy bars in hand.
