Hello! Happy Friday!! Even though this was a short week I felt super busy!!
I woke up this morning with some major low back tightness. It’s something like a spasm and a cramp. Boo. So, this morning I am treating myself to a run and a yoga class. I have a race this weekend and am really hoping the yoga helps release my lower back! It’s ridiculous right now!
Related – I’ve been doing a lot of research on my thyroid issue and suspect my adrenal system is taxed from all the running I do. I need to incorporate more walking and yoga into my life to help balance it out.
Yeah.
Here are my favorite things this week:
Tamales! I bought a dozen from the lady on the corner after the Disney 10k and ate them throughout the week. Nothing beats a tamale with egg on top. Nada.
Speaking of Disney – I wore all my new race tees (at different times, hello) this week! I like them all.
A few of you asked about the sunglasses I was wearing when I did my test bun run… they are Maui Jim. The company sent me a pair for a partnership I’m doing with RnR. I spent like 6 hours on their site comparing until I decided on these ones. These are the Kanani, but I really wanted to get the Gingers just because ya know.
The Roxican. This picture makes me happy.
Propel flavor packets. I am kinda obsessed with these again and add them to my water in the afternoon to switch it up.
Watermelon. I bought one and then it was gone. Happens fast around here.
(Don’t judge me because this is on the list every week!)
The Simpson’s Marathon – I think it’s on FX and has been on for 26 weeks now or something – nonstop. (Give or take a few)
All right – I’m off to yoga! Ommmm.
Question: What’s your favorite thing this week?

Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan says
My favorite thing this week is that Halloween candy is out! Milky Way caramel apple flavor – really good!
Rebecca says
Watermelon is amazing and is in my shopping cart every week.
My favorite thing this week is getting a new job (I just got the call today!), with finding your blog a close second. I’ve been having a blast reading through your August posts. I think I’m falling in love with your blog a little. Is that weird?
Sarah @ KS Runner says
Favorite thing this week – the cloudy, rainy day we’re having today! It was 90+ degrees yesterday and in the low 60s today…only in Kansas!
The tamales look good! It’s been a long time since I have had one!
Deborah Brooks @ Confessions of a Mother Runner says
I’m focusing and getting some more yoga into my life lately too. I feel so much better when I do it.

I almost bought myself flowers today because they were right at the entrance of the store, but forgot to go back and grab some. Now I regret it!
Ashley @ A Lady Goes West says
I definitely have trouble with sunglasses staying on my face during an outdoor run, good thing I don’t do those very often. This week I’m loving a couple of new workout pieces, including one from Lululemon I received at an event last night. Happy Friday!
Kari @ Kari On says
This week I’m loving that football season has started. My love for fantasy football is borderline obsessive 🙂
Ashley @ Saving Money in your Twenties says
MMMM that watermelon looks so good. It’s been too long since I had watermelon! My favorite thing this week is iced coffee… I tried cold brew in the french press and it was really good!
Amanda says
This week I’m really loving DOUGHNUTS! om nom nom
Leslie @ Life Begins @ 30? says
I miss tamales. When I lived in Texas, it was so easy to find homemade tamales. I never see anyone make them in KC!!
Kris @ Canadian Girl Runs. says
Overnight oats!! Who knew they were so good?
Linda @ Fit Fed and Happy says
Favourite. thing this week is bone marrow! They are actuslly so nutritious that if they could come in a pull form, pharmaceutical companies would be broke.
Heather @fitncookies says
Watermelon is on our list every week too! I’m the weirdo in the store checking the colors and knocking on them to hear what they sound like! haha But I get really good watermelon every time! I think I actually found out about the color and knocking from your blog last year!
Natalie @ Never Serious Blog says
Ahhhhhhh! Parks & Rec treat yo’ self is perhaps the best episode. EVER
