Hello! How was your weekend? Mine was full of running, eating and adulting. I started with a mid-distance run of 12 miles.
Mid-way run selfie!
Sunday was a rest day. Instead of running I went to spectate the OC Triathlon. I had a friend doing it and it’s so close I had to go! I’ve always wanted to cheer at a race and even though I made all the rookie mistakes of a race spectator – it was fun and seemed like the triathletes appreciated it.
Before hitting up the race I had toast, eggs and avocado.
In adulting news…
I bought a fire extinguisher! This is super random – but I was walking around the store looking for a new light plate thingy (technical term) and the fire extinguishers caught my eye. I realized – I don’t have a fire extinguisher!!?!
This is my first fire extinguisher! I feel like I should take a picture with it holding up a chalk board sign that says “First Day of School Adulting”
I’m in complete adulting mode because I’m having my lil condo painted and trying to organize everything. Vegas is supervising.
And the painter brought me flowers! I love it. They’re all different flowers from her garden and super pretty.
Adulting is also baking, right? I’d like to think so.
I worked on a few upcoming recipes and baked an old faithful recipe – 3 Ingredient PB Cookies.
What’s on my fridge?
I like how some bloggers do “What’s in my fridge?” – I’m pretty sure I’ve done it before too.
But since I’m having the kitchen painted and had to move the fridge I took everything off of it. So this is not what’s IN the refrigerator but what’s ON the refrigerator…
On my fridge: photo booth pictures from my lil brother’s 8th grade graduation (click here to see the best dresses for 8th grade graduation), M&Ms today I feel board, inspirational magnets I’ve had for years, New York City Marathon time plate, super strong magnets, manatee magnet, marathon pace band, Run Eat Repeat bumper magnet, pic from my Nino’s birthday.
I don’t remember when I got this M&M’s mood board. My parents’ had one on their fridge forever and honestly I don’t even know if this is the same one I took at some point? Maybe I should say “today I feel forgetful”?!
How do you feel?
Anxious, tired and unproductive. #mondays
Today I feel grateful for all the things I have 🙂
I think must have been so cool to spectate a race after being in so many of them actually racing. How do you do rookie race spectator mistakes?
Haha I was hooked on the title of this post. I never realized it , but I’m so intrigued with what other people put on their fridge! While I’m currently displaying a hodgepodge of wedding save the dates (tis the age)..my parents have a picture of me and my brother from every year starting with age one until 18. It’s amazing how often I catch my self looking at it despite having seen it hundred of times!
That’s so cool – I didn’t know having fire extinguishers were a thing! Haha! And today, I just feel… tired. Y’know. Mondays.

…. tired as crap because my child doesn’t sleep in past six and still wakes up at night at least once because the universe hates me. Yay restful summer break, hahaha.
I honestly have never spectated for a run before, but I have volunteered (at Surf City one year) and I absolutely loved it! I got to check in runners and chat with them, which was great.
