Hello! Last night I enjoyed a nice adult beverage and some Mexican food. I figure a salted rim gives me some sodium power for my run, right? Si.
And I went shopping for hipster glasses, but decided to pass. I like the browline glasses I found online more.
This morning I dressed like I wanted the space station astronauts to see me and ran 15 miles. I am doing a back to back run weekend to get me ready for Surf City.
PSA – I am in love with my Brooks Running Vest!!!
Now I am headed to the All State 13.1 LA Half Marathon packet pick up. Remember if you’re local (or loco) you can donate your old running shoes at packet pick up or after the race!
· All shoes collected in Los Angeles will benefit the Union Rescue Mission, an organization that is dedicated to serving men, women, and children experiencing homelessness. The Union Rescue Mission is one of the largest rescue missions of its kind in the United States, and the oldest in Los Angeles.
· Donations from race participants and Los Angeles residents will also be collected during 13.1 Marathon® packet pick-ups on Friday, Jan. 11 at Road Runners Sports West Hills – Fallbrook Center in West Hills, Calif. from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday, Jan. 12 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Road Runners Sports Torrance in Torrance, Calif.
· Runners who donate their shoes on race day will receive a free pair of flip-flops to wear home.
Question: Did you / Do you wear glasses?
See you later!

It warms my heart that you know there are space station astronauts. You would not believe how many times I have been told that the space program is over because we don’t fly the shuttle anymore.
Tell that to the 8 football-field-sized solar arrays and 6 astronauts I babysat this morning!
Jenny says
Those glasses look great! I wore glasses my whole life until I had LASIK twice about 7 years ago.
Susan says
These “older” eyes are starting to need “cheaters” for reading…especially in the morning. 🙁
Vernie says
I’ve worn glasses since I failed the eye exam at school in 8th grade. Nothing like starting out highschool in glasses! 🙂
After years of wearing glasses I’ve ventured out more when it comes to frames. I’ve got two pairs, one black set of “hipster” geek glasses and a pair of purple plastic frames that are a little bit lighter and easier to wear.
Contacts are reserved for snowboarding mainly since they bother my eyes.
betty says
those glasses look great on you!!!
Angela says
I also think those glasses are cute!!! But I’d say hipster would be bigger, wider frames… like these: http://impose.vaesite.net/__data/jay-z-with-hipster-glasses.6.jpg
I’m from Portland so I think that makes me a hipster expert? Hahaha just kidding. I desperately need glasses but am scared to go get my eyes checked. 🙂
Mary R. says
I love the glasses on you. You look so trendy and hipsterish too. I only wear my glasses at night when I’m getting ready for bed and take my contacts out or I need a break from the contacts.
Heidi says
I’ve worn glasses since I was 18 months old 🙂 I’m totally rocking the creative/nerd/hipster look. I’m in a creative field, so it works! 🙂
Jac @ Challenged & Running in the Bike Lane says
I do wear glasses. Sometimes I wear contacts..like for races and the such. But if I’m going to work, it’s glasses, makes it easier to see my computer.

janiek @ A non-perfect girl says
I like those glasses!
Isabel says
Lol, those look like my glasses! Does that mean I’m hipster? So I fueled for my longish run with chips and salsa. We’ll see how that goes 🙂
runeatrepeat says
I bet it will go well – I love salty carbs to fuel!
Melissa says
So this might sound creepy, but were you running the Yale loop today? I think I passed you three times…I was the girl in the blue running jacket. 🙂
runeatrepeat says
Yes! I remember! Good job!!! Now we’re running frens 😉
Melissa says
Haha awesome! I thought it was you and then I saw your picture here and confirmed it. I did 15 today too.
TorontoRunner says
I think you definitely suit those glasses!!
I don’t wear any myself, but sometimes thing it’d be a cute fashion statement! 😀
Sue says
Hey that frame looks a bit like mine. Yeah,specky for driving and when working on the PC.
Amanda says
Sadly, I have been wearing glasses since I was 2. Started wearing contacts when I was 13. I wear glasses only at night. I am a -10.5 so I tend to look like Stephen King when I wear them, and anything other than walking from bathroom to bedroom and reading in bed is dangerous. That whole peripheral vision thing and such! Glasses look cute on you! Go for it!
Cecilia says
I wear contacts but have 2 pairs of glasses for those unfortunate situations like when you realize your contacts are blurry, then you take them out and notice there is somehow mascara on them. WTF.
Kim says
I don’t wear glasses anymore (Lasik) but your’s make me wish I did – Love them!!!
You are a running machine this weekend!!!
Nicole says
I DO wear glasses. And contacts. But mostly my glasses. The are Kliik. And cost me my first born. If I ever have one. But I LOVE them.

Amber K says
I have glasses that I should probably wear, but I don’t. I really only need them when I drive or if I actually want to know what the guide on my TV says. Stupid tiny lettering!! lol
Caroline says
I love those glasses on you! I have contacts, but don’t wear them too often because my allergies in the spring, summer, and fall bother them. I always wear them during races though. most of the time I wear glasses. I have a few pairs that I switch between depending on my mood and outfit! It’s fun.
lea says
those glasses look excellent on you ,go back and get them! good luck on your half!
Adrienne says
Great running outfit, love that vest! I wear glasses, just for work though.
heather @ run eat play says
I have to wear my contacts or glasses all the time or else I’m pretty much blind.
I love your pink running vest 🙂
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles says
I actually kind of hate wearing glasses. I wear my contacts 95% of the time!
Gillian says
Only need glasses to see far away (like at the movies or an auditorium when someone is giving a power point talk)
I donated 3 pairs of sneakers and between the $5 credit and 10% off at packet pick up and additional 10% off for VIP I had to take advantage of buying a new pair 🙂
Sharsti says
I should wear glasses haha I wore them in the 6th grade, but haven’t since or contacts.
Allison says
You can totally rock the glasses!
GreenGirlRunning says
I think you look great in those glasses! I used to wear glasses but then got Lasik. Occassionally I miss wearing them 🙂 I had a salt rim margarita on the rocks last night, too! So good.
Dagmar says
I like the glasses – they look good on you! I would get them!
Runner Dad says
I wore glasses for years, then finally made the switch to contacts and never “looked” back… whomp whomp…
runeatrepeat says
Ha! I get it 😉
Rachel says
Ok, this may be creepy, but I saw you running this morning!!! I freaked out and told my friends and had a fan girl moment. And now that I see what you wore to run, I know for sure it was you! I read your blog everyday, it is amazing. Thank you 🙂
runeatrepeat says
Ah! Were you running too?! I passed by a girl that looked that she was running long today too – was that you?
Rachel says
I was driving! Or else I would have loved to meet you!
Sarah says
Love those glasses on you!
Aaryn says
I wear glasses in class and driving, but they are very hipstery/super duper cute or anything. Just some black ‘ol Calvin Klein glasses. They’re aight.
Coby says
I actually think you look amazing in those glasses!
Kelsey Jones says
I was just thinking the same thing!
Tara says
I also agree, they look great on you!!
