Hello and Happy Wednesday!
This morning I started my day with a run I was going to play by ear and decide once I was out there how long/fast to go. I felt okay so I went out for 10 miles and intended to keep it easy.
Well, that was until some guy decided he wanted to play Shadow and run super close behind me. I kept my pace steady so if he wanted to pass me he could.
But he didn’t. Nope. He just stayed right behind me all awkward like?! I am super not competitive, but that was weird so I sped up just because I didn’t want to hear him breathing. It stayed this way for at least 2.5 miles. That’s 20 minutes of this fun.
Maybe he was just a donk-ologist?
Turns out I was able to keep the pace a little faster and had a great run!! Thank you stranger who lacks knowledge of ‘personal space’! Unfortunately my Garmin lost satellite around mile 7 and I don’t have an official record of the run.
Post-run breakfast: Eggs. Sharp Cheddar. Iced Coffee.
And because today is Hump Day let’s enjoy some booty-rocking tunes…
Question: What did you have for breakfast?
Question #2: WTF! Vanderpump Rules – I was shocked when Kristin admitted sleeping with Jax?! Let’s talk about this!!
Adrianna says
Kristin is so scandalous. ok they all are. Jax is disgusting but I almost wasn’t surprised?! so gross, and I feel bad for Tom, but from the previews he might be dating Ariana…too much to handle. canNOT wait for the reunion tomorrow night…I love this stuff. so glad other people are into this show 🙂
Amanda says
Dude that’s creepy! What is wrong with people???
Ashley @ Snow Cream and Syrup says
That’s super creepy. Did you make eye contact with or address him at all? I wonder if he would have been scared off. YIKES
Nicole @ Pink Elephant on Parade says
if you go for a run, and your garmin doesn’t record it, did the run really happen?
Livi says
OMG I know!!!! I can’t believe that she admitted it after so vehemently denying all season?! Can NOT believe this. Bravo playing with my emotions! I felt bad for little ol’ Tom… Next up: Stassi and Tom sleep together for revenge? haha

Sue says
hmm…maybe he was hoping to pace off you? and not realise that he was too close to your personal space?
Lisa @ runnermamablogger says
Breakfast consisted of fresh cut fruit and organic oatmeal with brown sugar. Yum.
Megan says
Okay so, pump rules is totally my jam. I think it’s all planned out a la the hills + we are going to find out in the future and they’ll deny it while riding their fame high, buuuut i still love it. Jax is a raging sociopath + I think he’s the douchiest douche of them all. Kristen sucks, Tom sucks but I feel bad for him. Stassi is ice cold and I love her for it.
Megan says
I forgot to buy eggs at the grocery store this week and received a massive shipment of Muscle Milk so I decided to just make oatmeal with muscle milk, flax, and banana for the week. Sometimes I like to pretend I am being super frugal… in all reality the eggs cost < $3 so I am not saving much but hopping on the oatmeal train.
lauren@golaurengo says
My question is, do you think that whole situation was real? It was the same exact drama as the last season finale. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I was glued to it the entire two seasons but I’m not sure… I did do a little instagram stalking and Kristen is not friends with the rest of the group online. Interesting… (and I’m pathetic).
Brittney @Sweets 'N' Greens says
I’m considering getting a Garmin, but I’ve seen several posts where bloggers lose satellites or have to wait a few miles to get them so I’m not sure about it. I use Runkeeper on my phone and have never had a problem. Do you see any big advantage of Garmins over phone apps?
Ashley @ Saving Money in your Twenties says
I’ve watched a few episodes of Vanderpump rules but haven’t gotten too into the season… you’re making me want to watch it now!! That is so awkward about the close runner. Sometimes I stop and walk just to let people pass me!
Deirdre @ Design By Deirdre says
Booo. I only have basic cable now, no more Bravo! for me ; (
AdjustedReality says
Yogurt, blueberries, pb2, and some oats. Pretty much this every morning. Way to stick with your run and get a kick booty time, I get super paranoid about that stuff, I probably would have turned and ran to a busy road so in case something happened there would be cars around.
Running Librarian says
Today I had errands to run so I just had a cup of chocolate milk..not normal for me..I usually eat before I leave the house..normally it would be wheat chex cereal.
Ashley says
yuck what a creeper!
Cindy says
I made Siracha chicken today in the crock pot (for lunch, not bfast). Delish! Black beans, corn, chicken breast, cream cheese melted on top…recipe said salsa but I didn’t have any so Siracha was the next best thing. Turned out yummy!
Fav vpump line: Tom to Jax – you’re going to feel this. LOL
runeatrepeat says
I need Sriracha chicken in my life!
Jennifer @ One Step Closer says
I forgot to bring breakfast to work this morning and the cafeteria only takes cash (which I never have). I will make it up tomorrow, I’m sure!
Michelle @ 3cheaprunners says
Oh no…I haven’t watched last night’s episode yet…WTF…I guess I need to watch is ASAP
Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says
Ugh, that’s really creepy. Kudos to you for sticking with your run; I probably would have turned around and ran the other way for a bit. Embarrassing fact: I ate leftover pizza for breakfast. (hangs head in shame)
runeatrepeat says
We’re not here to judge 🙂
Tricia @ Balance In Progress says
Ha ha that finale was crazy! I mean she held out for so long I was surprised she came clean too. She really was a good liar… Had me convinced for a while. She didn’t even seem to skip a beat when she was confronted.
Sagan says
My breakfast (same as pretty much every day): black dark roast coffee and grapefruit. I adore it.
Nothing like semi-creepy strangers to help increase the pace, right? 😉
Jen @ Pretty Little Grub says
So weird that he would follow you so closely! For breakfast today I had one of my homemade lentil/apple/cranberry muffins and a banana.
Elizabeth @ Positive Change says
That would drive me nuts if that happened to me! I had an egg white omelet in a GF wrap, an apple and a banana with PB.
Charlotte says
Errr. I would feel so uncomfortable with the booty stalker on my trail. Of course, my booty would be wiggly up and down. Lol.
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
I probably would have stepped to the side or stopped so that way he would just pass and then start running again. More because that’s just CREEPY!
Casey @ The Maine Mrs. says
I hate when people run right behind me. It freaks me out!

Have you seen the preview for next week for the reunion? It looks like Tom and Ariana are together. Exciting stuff. I have watched all the reruns and it’s scary how well Kristen plays it off that she didn’t sleep with Jax.
Kelly says
Haha I didn’t have the exact same experience but I had a man turn and run behind me on my run today and because I’m super paranoid, I turned down a random street to lose him…and then had to pull out my phone and check the map on how to get back to my house because I was lost haha massive fail
tara @ tara goes streaking says
What a weirdo… I would have stopped and fiddled with my shoe to get him to pass me. If I dared that is… I’m sure in reality I would be terrified he was actually trying to catch me to kill me lol
Melissa says
Why didn’t you just stop and stretch for a bit and let him pass? Why was it his responsibility to pass you? Maybe he couldn’t run any faster. Just curious.
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun says
Haha I don’t have cable anymore so I feel completely out of the loop on these things. Your post made me laugh – haha thanks for that today!
Herchel S says
You should’ve brake checked him! Lol I would have been super self conscious.
Jessica @ RunYourMuttOff says
I had my usual smoothie for breakfast – spinach, natural PB, banana, pineapple, strawberries. Yum!
april says
i had blueberry oatmeal for breakfast, but then i was craving eggs (nothing new, lol), so i made an egg, spinach, chicken, and avocado wrap for lunch.
TartanJogger tartanjogger.com says
I had greek yoghurt, berries, flax & chia with hard boiled egg white. Yummmm!
The Silent Assassin says
I swear it wasn’t me! But just to give you a heads up, if I do see at the PhxFull, don’t call it dejavu.
Anel says
If you could hear him breathing, that’s a little to close, pal! hhahha Glad it made you run a little faster, though! 10 miles is awesome! I had waffles and eggs this morning. Your breakfast sandwich looks delicious!
Marcia says
RIGHT?! I am shocked about Vanderpump Rules finale! Can’t wait till the reunion show Monday. Did you see that coming? He’s such a dbag!
Marie says
I’m just curious- who in the world takes the pictures of you from behind?? Do you use a self timer?
runeatrepeat says
I think Ben took that picture, but I’d use a self timer too if I had too.
Ashley @ Brocblog says
I had oatmeal for breakfast but Im seriously craving another breakfast and might go to a diner near my work for a lunch omelet. Is that weird?
Laura@FitFreshandFunny says
I had oatmeal. Again. I’m impressed that your shadow held on that long-and that you didn’t turn around and yell at him! I don’t think I’d have made it that far-though I would have just passive aggressively paused to tie my shoes again or taken another route.
Adriana @Laced Up With Lipstick says
I can’t stand it when someone when some one won’t give you space, not only on the trails but when I’m driving too…lol.
Your breakfast looks scrumptious. I had eggs, toast and coffee, boring I know!
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan says
Homemade blueberry muffins for breakfast today!
Ran 6 miles this morning and then shoveled snow for an hour and half – I think I deserve a treat! 🙂
I have no idea what show you’re talking about…
Alex Ramirez says
Stalker! How does he not get that that’s creepy!
I was laughing at Tom crying like a little B***h! At least he redeemed himself by hitting Jax with the glass. I don’t know how you can sleep with your best friend’s girl. Violation of the Bro Code, I think.
runeatrepeat says
I felt bad for Tom, he got screwed by his GF and best friend – NOT COOL. I can’t imagine. I think it’s interesting that he still came with Kristin to the party, I feel like they made them do that for the show.
Alex Ramirez says
Part of me thinks that Jax likes playing the villain and I’m sure their is acting involved in this show.
However, Jax shows some strong qualities of a narcissistic sociopath.
runeatrepeat says
Seriously. How could he totally not care when his best friend was crying in front of him. I’m surprised that he didn’t at least pretend to feel bad, isn’t that weird? Seems fishy.
Samantha Bruce says
Thank you… someone is dicussing that finale! I cant believe how long she continued to lie. Did she think she could get away forever with it? I absolutely cannot wait for the reunion next week. Do you watch Watch What Happens Live after? It seems there are even more stories and drama to tell of.
runeatrepeat says
Seriously, I am impressed that she kept her story going that long – I almost started to believe it. I think Lisa telling him that she’s lying at the photo shoot kept him pushing the issue. I don’t usually watch WWHL but I taped the one with Jax and Lisa V to get more of a scoop.
Samantha says
I know you’re local to So Cal.. Have you visited Sur? I went last year and it’s very different then they portray on TV. They are all so nice and friendly. Makes you wonder how much is for TV. Food was delicious.. Would recommend to go just to say you’ve been 😉
Holly @ Healthy Living Holly says
Hooray for creepers making your 10 miler fast!
Breakfast this morning was some maple walnut oatmeal with chia seeds, coconut, ground flax & dried goji berries. Woohoo!
Evey W says
I rolled up eggs, spinach, cheese and hot sauce (of course) in a whole wheat tortilla with a banana on the side!! So filling!
I missed the finale due to class but not surprised on Kristin. She always had that “look” of being up to something!
