Running with lions

One thing I do know is that I need to really need to get back on the exercise bandwagon. So to force myself back into shape, I went and signed myself up for a 5k.

Now I realize that some of you may think this is easy, but I assure you that this is a monstrous challenge for me. Let's be frank. I am not a runner, and when I have forced myself to run in the past, it has almost always been indoors on a treadmill.

But I'm doing it for a cause near and dear to my heart--to save the lions. And this isn't just any 5k; it's a 5k through the Bronx Zoo!!

The best part? YOU can help save the lions and support me! Just click here. Don't you want to help save that sweet little face above?

Have I started training you ask? No, not really, but I promise to keep you updated on my progress.

An Introduction (and clarification)

First, I just want to let you know that this is not a blog about making pie literally. So if you were hoping for amazing recipes and photos of pies, you’ve come to the wrong place. I might try a recipe or two in an attempt to feel more adult, but I promise you they will not be the amazing, complicated recipes you can find on other blogs. Sorry.

This is a blog about making Pie figuratively. I am that Pie. In fact, I’ve been called Pie for as long as I can remember (and no, you probably can’t come up with a pie joke that I haven’t already heard).


Today I turned 26, and as my dear friends have pointed out, I’m now closer to 30 than 20. This makes me nervous. Why? Because at 26 years old, I have less figured out than I did at 22. At 22, I had a whole life plan. At 26, all I have are questions.

So to figure out what the hell I’m going to do as I start climbing up the hill to old age, I’ve decided to blog and share my adventures with you. Wish me luck!
