Happy Monday! I started my day off with a speedish run – 1 m w/u, 4 800s and 1 m c/d. It was just okay. I need to do this weekly again to see improvement because I was def slower than in the past.
When I got back I realized there was only a few sips of iced coffee left from yesterday so I had to make a fresh batch.
Luckily Tina sent me a bag of Marylou’s AMAZING coffee for my brewing pleasure. 
Supposedly the “secret” to Marylou’s amazing iced coffee is that they add in Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate to it. I love iced coffee and I love hot cocoa so I am definitely down for experimenting with this.
But I’m lazy so I added the hot chocolate mix straight to the grounds to brew up together. 
I’ve done this before with cinnamon too so I figured it would work, but I wasn’t sure. 
I brewed up the pot and then set aside a cup to cool for a bit. Then, I added a lot of almond milk and ice. So so good.
Breakfast was the usual.
Time for my June 2012 Highlights…
Favorite RUN:
I LOVE running when I’m traveling, so it’s a tie between
my run in Seattle and my run in Central Park
Favorite EAT:
The huge delicious donut I had after Rock N’ Roll San Diego was pretty amazing. 
Favorite post I’d like to REPEAT:
Tie between my 3 Year Anniversary post and my Fitness Bucket List

Getting married!
Congrats!
My son turned ONE. I’m not sure if it was my favorite or not though…I’m so sad that the newborn stage is over, but so looking forward to watching this little boy I love so much continue to grow!
I’d have to say the five mexican meals I devoured while in San Antonio! haha. I love mexican so I stuck to that theme the entire trip!
Swiss MIss and coffee grounds brewed together? I did not know!
I do now! Genius!!
I had a delicious Iced Coffee from Starbucks this morning, yum! Favorite moment of June was camping with my family and doing my first open water swim, so fun.
So could you taste the swiss miss? I put cinnamon in my grounds sometimes too and would LOVE to try hot chocolate.
hot chocolate in the coffee grounds = genius! I have it brewing as I type!!
Running when travelling is the best!
Favourite workout from June- probably my longest bike ride of the year so far. It was a beautiful day and an awesome ride!
I didn’t eat anything life changing in June. Then again, I spent most of it still recovering from a gum surgery so I had to eat a bunch of mush. The first time I got to eat chips again was perfection. lol
My highlight was getting talked into signing up for a line dance contest I had planned on just watching. I ended up placing in the top 12 and compete again in July!
Congrats! That sounds like a blast
Yes! I’ve been obsessed with ice coffee lately bc of how hot it’s been – thanks for the handy tip on making my own!
Favorite June workout was probably some track repeats that I did, believe it or not. super hot day, but walked away feeling awesome.
My favorite June memory has been all my walks outside & hanging out at the pool.
Thats such a great idea with the coffee and hot chocolate!
I had a lot of great June events – we went to Wisconsin Dells, we celebrated my brothers, my hubby’s, and my moms birthdays, and I went to my sister in laws awesome baby shower!
June? By baby “graduated” from elementary school. And my oldest daughter “graduated” from eighth grade. It was a hard month for me.
Daughter #3 graduated from the University of Maryland and daughter #4 graduated from high school! Lots of celebrating at my house!!
I put the hot chocolate powder straight in the coffee- I’m thinking it’s probably more chocolatey that way-??
My favorite moment from June was at 3:15 on the 28th when I was done teaching summer school. It was magical.
Favorite moment for me was probably becoming a licensed bartender! It’s not something I EVER thought I’d be doing, but it’s a good way to make money during the summer, and now I have one more fun fact about myself
Favorite moment from June?
June wasn’t too exciting for me, but I did have a pretty fun hike one day with my dog, and joined a gym!
I <3 iced coffee w/ vanilla almond milk. In a time crunch, I use just enough hot water to dissolve a SBucks Mocha Via, then fill my cup the rest of the way with the milk and some ice. So yummy!
I loved seeing your wedding picks – you're gorgeous
Amazing run-vacay in Phuket and Kuching!
