Hi I'm Deborah! I spend my days successfully raising a husband & 2 teens in the VA/DC area. I am a lover of all things running & fitness. As a life long vegetarian, I've always been passionate about healthy living & exercise. Looking for partners in crime, I started my own chapter of Moms Run This Town (MRTT) which has grown to over 700 members. I've met so many amazing women who inspire me daily to keep moving forward. You can usually find me running with my crew and training for the next crazy adventure they talked me into. I love to keep up to date on new running & fitness trends. I definitely choose my running gear based on color and love to express my fashion sense while exercising.

susie @ suzlyfe says
I love anything fresh during the summer, but summer also means summer training, so I need the extra calories that bars can provide—like the awesome ones that I’m giving away today!
Deborah Brooks says
I agree I am needing to re evaluate some of my foods now that I am doing lots of double workouts for the tri training.
Haley says

Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
I have to admit, I love bars. And I love trying new ones. But I try not to eat them too often. One of my fav post run snacks is greek yogurt mixed with chocolate protein powder & topped with blueberries & granola.

Deborah Brooks says
Amen to that! You can’t go wrong with chocolate
Meghan says
What brand of blue corn chips are those? They look to have some spice on them and you know that I like some heat. 🙂 Great list of snacks here. Frozen grapes are one of my favorite things of all time. Happy weekend!

I need to re try cherries I never used to like them.
Lindsay @ Fit & Awesome says
I love frozen grapes! The hummus dip inside the egg is a great idea, too. I’m doing the Whole 30 right now so no hummus for the next couple weeks but would love to try this when I’m done. I’m going to have to add baking soda to my water when I boil eggs next time. Good tip!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks I could not live without hummus! Good luck with the whole 30

I love the banana split idea! I also have not tried frozen grapes even though I love grapes haha. One snack I just discovered is Beanitos (chips made from beans), and I eat them with hummus or Wholly Guacamole 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
sounds good too anything with guac and hummus is so good!
Jess @hellotofit says
I love the idea of hard boiled eggs and HUMMUS! Better for us than deviled eggs, if there was mayo involved 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
The hummus is so good in them!
Victoria @ Ice Packs and Races says
What great ideas! I need to try the frozen grapes this week but am loving the pear/cheese/nuts combo!
Deborah Brooks says
Me too! And thanks
