ToggleHi 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.

Kristy @Runaway Bridal Planner says
I shouldn’t of visited your blog on my lunch hour, everything you showcased looks tons better than what I am eating right now, and now I want to go find something better, LOL
It really is fun to look back at things we have done and posted on during the year, you’ve definitely had some great dishes shared this year! Some I’ve even attempted to make on my own, even if they didn’t turn out as picture perfect, they did taste good, especially one of the soups I made a few weeks back:)
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks! I am so glad I’ve inspired you to cook more. Not all of mine come out looking like that you just don’t see them 🙂
