Francophile in the West

I recently finished reading an AMAZING book called Born to Run by Christopher McDougall. It changed my perspective on running, end of story. If you don't really care for running but try to do it anyway because 'it's good for you', read this book ASAP . It's about the history of running; why we do it, how we have evolved to do it, and why it should be a lot more fun and injury-free than most people think. Running has been a struggle for me and I always have to talk myself begrudgingly into being excited about. Today, I ran 5 miles in 52 minutes, and I had a smile on my face the whole time and was super energized afterwards. HELL YES. I can't wait to go again! Another adventure for today: cooking up some Arepas! My Columbian friend brought them into work the other day and I fell in love. Corn meal, Queso Cotija, a little butter, a little salt, and milk. They're a bit like France's potato galettes, but with corn. Delicious! Less than two weeks until Alaska
