These Pumpkin Nutella Cheesecake Bars so rich and creamy. They are also egg free, nut
free and gluten free. I used my own nut-free nutella to create a safe treat.
Time is counting down for my first half marathon. LOL…I still can’t believe I’m going to
do it. #crazylady I’m excited and scared all at the same time. The weather’s being a little crazy
at the moment being hot and humid in the 80’s last week when it suddenly dropped to a high of
52 degrees. Talk about a shock to the system. The predicted forecast for this weekend is a
high 74 with an 80% chance of rain!! Oh well…

But now, I’m completely confused as how I should dress. It’s cold enough in the morning for
pants, a long shirt and mittens. Have any of you completed a marathon or long distance run?
I’d love to hear some last minute advice or tricks. As the event comes closer, I’m freaking out…
it’s the small little details I tend to think about leading into new territory. #fearoftheunknown.

Running became one of those challenges I’ve decided to give myself. I barely consider myself a
runner, given the fact that I don’t really enjoy it and I haven’t been out much this year.

So why the heck am I running?
Good question.
It all started 6 years ago after I had Sir. I was
so overwhelmed with being a new mom. I was also completely stressed out and overweight (a
good 30 pounds) that I decided to do something about it. This was when the 2014 Winter
Olympics started. I drew inspiration from how strong all the athletes were. They had complete
dedication year round to achieve the level of success of the Olympics. I decided right then and
there, I would run my first 5K.

And I did. I don’t have a history of running but I was a gymnast. Gymnastics and running
are so different. Short bursts of energy vs long aerobic runs were very hard to adjust to.
Gymnastics taught me to be competitive and achieve goals. A great part of running was being
able to achieve a goal over several weeks, it made me feel empowered. And I felt strong.

This year I decided to test myself again. I’ve been able to run on the elliptical easily for 8
miles and usually would run 3 miles outside. Why not try running 8 miles for real, outside? And
I did it, without too much pain either. So then I pushed for 10 miles. And then just to be sure,
I did 10 miles again. It made me think maybe I could really finished half marathon. This will
be the ultimate physical challenge for me.

These pumpkin bars are my latest and greatest baking challenge. I mentioned before we can
tolerate dairy. I’ve attempted eggless cheesecake a few times only to be disappointed This is
a very loose (and a little healthier) version of the Cheesecake Factory’s pumpkin cheese cake.
I only tasted a sample once but I swear I can still taste it. This version is egg free and uses the
nut free nutella. Follow me for up to date information and see the newest things I’m creating.
