One week before college started, our cross country team would train together at a resort in northern Minnesota. We would literally eat, sleep, and run every day with lazy afternoons spent swimming in the lake, lounging on the shore, playing sand volleyball, and taking boat rides.
Each night groups would take turns making dinner for everyone. Dinner always included a dessert and Happiness Pie was the most anticipated dessert of the week. A sweet graham cracker crust with fresh fruit enveloped in creamy vanilla pudding and topped with Cool Whip.
Seriously, you must make this for your next special treat! It is super easy and always gets raves reviews.
Happiness Pie
I can’t say this is healthy, but it is amazing nonetheless.

Monday I did a track workout after work instead of at the crack of dawn. I recruited Erin to push me during my workout since she loves 200s and 400s–and it much faster at these distances than I.
We ran 200s, 400s, and one 800 for a total of 2.5 miles at 5K or faster pace. It was a tough workout, but I was glad for a running buddy. Erin really challenged me to push through to the end. I was also very happy to hit all of the paces my coach had given me and even ran faster on a few of them!
Today’s (Tuesday’s) early morning workout was an easy 4 mile run—an easy day before I hit the treadmill in the morning for another interval workout.
Take care everyone! Hopefully you are treating your body and mind well this week. Don’t lose sight of your goals—you can achieve them!
Looks so good! I’ll try it soon.
I may have to make this for my bf’s birthday, he loves that kind of goodie! 😀
sounds amazing!
