Will Run For Chocolate

If you know me, then you know that I love triathlon and sweets. So of course this new race appealed to me: Hot Chocolate 15/5k.

What makes this running race different than any other race? Well, the post-race party has chocolate fondue and hot chocolate from Ghirardelli! I always indulge on sweets after a race, so now I don't have to go searching for any.

This race series takes place in 8 cities, so there's a good chance that there will be one near you. The 15k race is $65 and the 5k is $45. I can't wait to run for chocolate next year! Who's with me?

Hot Chocolate Goodness

In case you don't live in Southern California, you might not know that we are currently in the middle of the heaviest rainstorm that we've had in years. It has rained for five days straight and is still going strong!

I love rain because it means snow in the mountains. But while I'm not snowboarding in Mammoth, I love to be at home, drinking hot chocolate while the rain is flooding the streets. In honor of this wonderful rain, I'd like to highlight hot chocolate.

I've been a hot chocolate fan my whole life. There was even a time that I used to drink a mug of hot chocolate every night before bed (before I watched calories). I still treat myself to a zebra hot chocolate from Starbucks once a month.

I Heart Cuppycakes has a recipe for a Hot Chocolate Cupcakes: a chocolate-chili cupcake with marshmallow whipped cream frosting, topped with chocolate sprinkles.

This makes me want to stay home from work, get warm with my Snuggie, and eat a hot chocolate cupcake (while drinking hot chocolate, of course).
