Hello! How was your weekend? Mine is slowly winding down.
And I’m trying to slow it down even more…
This morning I took a walk to shake out my legs and stretch. Breakfast was the usual – eggs, but with the added bonus of tamales. Love.
I tried to be responsible and do some actual work on this Labor Day cleaning and doing some blog stuff.
Lunch was a great taco salad! Note the Sabra Greek Yogurt Dip. It’s new to me and I’m still deciding if I dig it. I always and forever love the hummus though.
The star of the show/my life is this Trek Mix. I try not to buy stuff like this for my house since I’m known to eat it all in one day, but this was leftover from Ben’s MIA road trip extravaganza.
Let’s get to the best part of stuff though…
Running Blog Favorites for August
My favorite Run
My first leg of the Hood to Coast Relay was my favorite run of the month. It was a GORGEOUS run and the first time I’ve run in Oregon. Loved every second.
My favorite Eat
It’s a tie between Watermelon Yogurt (see my vlog review there!) and
My favorite post I’d like to Repeat
These are probably my most helpful posts of the month and I want to repeat them in case you missed ‘em:
Sportsbra Chafing <- great comments on this one too.
Running Gear I Can’t Live Without
How do you know you’re ready for a Half Marathon
Question: What was the BEST thing you ate or did in August?
best things from August recap: time at the lake w/ the fam, some great time with the boy, and a friend’s wedding.
I had watermelon froyo and thought of you the whole time.
Love the Sabra hummus and dips!
Trail mix is addicting! I make sure to portion mine out…haha…otherwise I just might gain 5 pounds the next day.
Omg I’m the same way with trail mix – It will be gone without me even realizing how much I ate – why is it sooo good?? The best thing I did in August had to of been my beach trip to Isle of Palms. Oh I miss the beach and vacation SOO much. I’ll probably miss the warm air during my nightly walks with the pups as well 🙁 I need to try your 3 ingredient pancakes asap!
Best thing I did was a toss up between taking third in my age group in a triathlon or biking 18 miles to a winery to do a full flight of Rose tasting in FULL on spandex. Best thing I ate was homemade lobster tails…or maybe that rose. August was awesome, here’s to a super September.
beach time was the highlight of my august!
Best thing about August was that it was my birthday month and I did major celebrating! 🙂
Happy Birthday!
Best thing I did this month was chillin’ at the Mall of America with some friends for a weekend!
Otherwise, training for my first half was/is a great time!!!
Blessings!
The Mall of America! Is it amazing?
August went by so fast! I think the very best thing I did was fly to Florida from California to visit my family this past weekend for Labor Day. It would be impossible to choose the best food, because I ate at a lot of new San Francisco restaurants, and they were all pretty awesome. Happy Tuesday! 🙂 Here’s to a new month.
I’m going with my first ever triathalon back on 8/3. I conquered so many fears that day 🙂
Congrats on the triathlon!
Congratulations!
YUM to that salad! I haven’t yet even seen the greek yogurt dip, looks interesting!
I’ll be going to see a friend at the end of September in Bend, OR, and I’m excited to get the chance to run there too!
Yeah, my family likes the dip but it’s very sour creamy (which isn’t normally my thing) so I can’t decide.
Best thing I ate was a Grilled Cinnamon Bun!
Best thing I did was jump in a Trampoline Arena like I was 5 years old again.
Grilled Cinnamon Bun?! I need this.
Oregon is beautiful. Traveling for races must be amazing.
It’s my favorite part!
That trail mix would be gone in a day at my house as well, sounds amazing!
I’m trying to make it last more than a day, but it keeps calling my name…
