Week 3 as a runner...
All-- First off, thanks for all of the tips I've received so far. I'm up to 2 miles with a pace of just over 14 min a mile--super slow (already increased my pace by 1 min/mile).

Granola Recipes
I enjoy granola, yogurt and berries for a mid-morning snack. I just started making my own granola. I like to keep it super simple with just oats, no fruit or nuts. What are options for sweeteners or "glue" for granola that you have all used? I know there is honey and maple syrup and or sugar or coconut oil....looking for…
