Happy Friday!
Although I was super tired yesterday I’m glad this week has helped get me back to waking up early. It’s good for me to get up and going since I have a lot of stuff going on lately. It’s just that first week that’s kinda rough.
Speaking of yesterday… I had a baking success and made blueberry bars. But the best part was combing a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese and jam to make frosting. Yes.
This morning I ran and had some eggs for breakfast.
You know, the usual…

Since you know I play favorites here is my list for this week…
Fun Friday Favorites…
1. The best hangover cures from bartenders.
2. Guys and Girls Surveyed on the Ideal Body – spoiler: Guys like curves. Girls picked skinnier bodies.
3. Hummus.
4. This shirt from Zazzle that The Bloggess linked to (not sure why since I’m super behind on reading blogs, just randomly stumbled on it) this week.
5. My new Mizunos – these are lighter than the ones I’ve been wearing so I think I’ll keep them for shorter distances but I dig the retro kinda look with glittery laces.
And then I realized I titled this picture Mixuno. I really am tired! Ha!!
Question: What’s your favorite thing from this week?

Hanging out with my new nephew ranked pretty high on things I dug this week!

Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan says
My favorite thing this week is my treadmill – it is helping me stay sane while working crazy hours at work. I’m so glad it’s the weekend!
Andrea says
I thought you would find this interesting, I know I did. I love sriracha (although not nearly as much as you)! http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/04/10/calif-city-declares-sriracha-hot-sauce-factory-public-nuisance/?intcmp=latestnews
Molly says
My favorite thing this week is learning I could make an egg salad sandwich with avocado instead of mayo. Delicious!
Kelli says
Haha, I LOVE the Cadbury egg one! So funny. Cadburys are the best.
Anna @ ThatDAMMRunner says
Hmm…this week I love Jelly Belly jelly beans. I’ve eaten WAY too many.
And I’m loving the warm weather FINALLY!!!!
Sarah says
My favorite thing this week – a beautiful trail run in SHORTs 70F and sunny. And also fresh pineapple – I got some at the store last weekend and haven been snacking on it all week.
Jackie says
My brother turned 21 that was fun!
Stephanie @ Whole Health Dork says
Love that link to the ideal bodies! My husband and I talk about this all the time. For example, for those of you who watch The Vikings, he can’t understand what Ragnar sees in Princess Aslaug. He much prefers the look of Lagertha, which I honestly can’t complain about since I look closer to her than the princess!
Angela @ LoveTheRunning says
I love those shoes! I’m in the process of admitting I may need new running shoes (loyal to a fault) and I’ve been trying out Mizunos, I really like them!!
Those blueberry bars look amazing! My favorite thing this week was making brownies (mostly eating all the batter and frosting).
Monica @ The Hot Mess Express says
Dude, I love those shoes!
Favorite thing this week….I tried a new red wine and it was super yummy. Ohhh also MAC Diva lipstick in matte. I was injured and there was no running = sadface.
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun says
My favorite thing from this week..hmm, that it’s almost the weekend! Does that count!?
Elizabeth {Positively Healthy} says
Love the… Carrots? You mean hummus spoon! haha. Those are sweet throwbacks on the Mizunos!
Susan says
I got new shoes this week too! Another pair of Asics. I can’t wait to start transitioning them in.
Bethany says
My favorite thing this week is the glorious weather we are having in Seattle. Sunny and in the 60’s. Spring is here.
Megan @ The Skinny-Life says
I’m loving oranges! They had these gynormous ones at the market yesterday. I had one for desert last night. Now I’m thinking about what I can bake them into this weekend!
The Silent Assassin says
The favorite thing happened just this morning. Better late than never, right? Or is it sad that it took until Friday for something to come along =). My whole foods makes quinoa pancakes for bfast. Not to go all church in this response, but no meat today. Quinoa cakes, some almond slivers, chocolate candied pecans and some organic grade B syrup…well that’s hard to beat. Did I mention chocolate candied pecans?! Have a kick ass weekend chica!
Leslie @ Life Begins at 30? says
My favorite thing this week was seeing Divergent at a 1960’s movie theater with the girls. We were the only ones in the theater. It was pretty funny and the movie was good too!
Chrissy @pinkpolishandrunningshoes says
The blueberry bars look good! My favorite thing this week is spring weather. Yay for finally seeing the sun in New England!
Kailin @ Logs and Thoughts says
Favorite this this week is about to begin: Team Training Camp in Chattanooga! I <3 my bike-riding sisters!
Kailin @ Logs and Thoughts says
I do actually have some favorites from the week that was, though. Dinner with some besties, free food at work, two GREAT long runs, and beautiful weather. God is good, and I’m blessed!
Flower says
Favorite thing: Watermelon…and it’s also the secret word. BONUS POINTS!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
I LOVE Mizunos! But as fun as the glittery laces are, they’re even better with Lock Laces so you don’t have to worry about them coming un-done mid run…just saying. 😉
runeatrepeat says
I feel like Lock Laces would hurt the top of my foot. I think I tried these other stretchy laces when I was a kid and didn’t like em. I don’t know, maybe…
Robyn says
Hey Monica!
My favorite thing this week is that spring break starts today at 3:) And speaking of spring break, I am visiting LA for the first time next week! Any running tips/trails while staying in the city and, more importantly, tips on what I should see while I’m there?!
runeatrepeat says
Are you going to be in the city or near the beach or other? The beach is best for running 🙂
Robyn says
Two nights in downtown and two nights in Playa del Ray! Is downtown awful to run in? I think there is a gym where I am staying, too.
runeatrepeat says
No you can totally run there too, just a lot of lights. And watch out for cars (kinda obvious, but thought I should add it). Have a blast!!
Kaelene@Unlocking Kiki says
Love the look of those shoes!
Mary@RunWalkLift says
My favorite thing this week is potty training. That can’t really be my favorite thing. I’ll try again next week.
Shawna says
haha totally dig that “oh you mean hummus spoon” image. so true. 🙂 my fave thing from this week (food-wise) was an iced americano yesterday! fave non-edible occurrence was that i had two great outdoor runs with faster splits than usual. woohoo.
Ursula @ Northern Ambitions says
haha I love the Rock picture. My favourite thing this week has got to be wasabi peas. I can’t stop eating them!
Lea says
Your blog is so very amusing!
Lisa @ runnermamablogger says
Love watermelon and I referenced you on my blog yesterday because I have been eating watermelon daily since I have a long run tomorrow and I know you say it is good for recovery.
Looking forward to running 12 miles tomorrow, longest distance yet.
Tiffany @ The Chi-Athlete says
Hmmm, so many faves. <3 That blueberry looks fantastic!
Believe it or not, a track workout was favorite thing this week. I haven't run at a track since I moved here last May! It was awesome to run the lines, look forward to the finish, and not throw up. 😀
Jojo @ RunFastEatLots says
Nice shoes!
Fave thing from this week is getting a HUGE veggie burger at BGR with sweet potato fries. I just had a craving!
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
I’m gonna have to go with thing (s).
I got two new running tops that I love!!
Cheese and jam? That sounds like a Danish pastry…I’m in!!
burger king coupons says
Wow that was strange. I just wrote an very long comment but after I clicked

Anyways, just wanted to say great blog!
