Hello and Happy Friday! I watched the last Jersey Shore yesterday. I don’t know when I started to actually like that show and those people, but I do. Don’t judge. We all have our things.
Last night I took “sleep squares” that are supposed to help you sleep. No, it’s not a cute name for roofies, I got them from the Natural Products expo. Anyways, they give me the saddest dreams. The first night I took them I lost my wedding ring and last night my dog ran away. I’m still sad even though it didn’t really happen…
This morning I did a quick 3 miler and had breakfast before rushing off to work. I had some leftover frittata and one of Ben’s pancakes. He got all fancy with breakfast this morning!
I forgot my water bottle at work yesterday and cups don’t cut it so I’m using an empty OJ gallon. Much better.
After work I hit up the Farmer’s Market real fast for some veggies and fruit. I don’t know about you guys, but my farmer’s market is expensive! Anyone?
My 5 Fun Faves from the Finternet this week:
1. Fake Donuts are Bagels…

2. Red Panda Loves Pumpkin like I love watermelon (video)
3. Not exactly fun, but this article on Muscle Cramping is super helpful as I get really bad quad cramps during marathons!
4. 77 Year Old Holocaust Survivor is the oldest runner in the Jerusalem Marathon (article)
5. In honor of St. Patrick’s Day –
Make the Smitten Kitchen’s Chocolate Stout Cake with Guinness. I don’t drink beer, but I can get behind this!

Okay, off to live my day! See ya later!
Question: What are your weekend Plans?
St. Patty’s day fun or runs?
Got a fun link to share?
you’re right!http://www.apartamentosecasas.org
Haha the donut vs. bagel find is fabulous! I SHOULD be doing the Rock ‘n’ Roll race in DC this morning but I just ate a stack of ‘cakes and curled up on the sofa instead ;P
Doing a St. Patty’s Day 5K, most likely in the rain, and planning to enjoy some corned beef cooked in Guinness and chocolate Guinness cake. I use Guinness instead of oil and eggs with a regular chocolate cake mix and it comes out wonderful–it’s the easy way to make it, though not as good as doing it from scratch. 😀
The hubbs and I were gonna do the St Pattys Day Dash in Seattle but we’ve been sick all week and the hubs has bronchitis! We might just go walk around and watch all the peeps and their fun costumes. There will be around 15,000 people!
I wish I was running a fun St. Patty’s day race and drinking green beer but I will be draggin my butt around LA in the rain, doing the marathon.
GOOD LUCK!!!
Speeesshhh Jersey Shore is the best for comical relief. I watch it since it first started.
Shamrock run tomorrow with my runner girls plus 5 miles added on for our long run. Ps you made me laugh talking about your dreams
Good luck on the run!
I’ve been having the worst, most vivid, depressing dreams ever. Lame. Speaking of lame, so are my weekend plans- yoga, a run, and grading aprx. 220 essays.
Hi…new to your bloc! The bagel paper is cracking me up right now! This weekend? Hoping to get in a run but with rain on the forecast I’m not thrilled.
*blog* ugh spellcheck
Hi Erika, Thanks for stopping by 🙂
That donut story was the best, and so true! They’re just bagels!!
Our farmers market is insanely expensive!!
I love Jersey Shore too! My husband hates the fact that I watch those kind of shows but I think he should just be thankful I don’t make him watch them – at least not very often 🙂
My weekend plans include enjoying this crazy 80 degree weather in the Midwest!! Yoga, walking, and lifting. (weights!)
my weekend plans are a 14 miles long run..woo hoo!! hah big plans! no regular drinking on st patties day since im preggers..what a bummer i love st patties! mostly bc i love drinking..haha oh well, next year!
14 miles pregnant?! You’re amazing.
haha or dumb. lets go with amazing. 🙂
My mom gets horrible horrible cramps. She swears by this remedy. She carries these packets of mustard around with her. You find them all over her house. She just opens a mustard package and the mustard slides down her throat and the muscle cramp disappears. (or you could just take a spoonful out of a mustard jar) Unfortunately it did not work for me, but you should try it. Let me know if you do and if it works for you.
Gross. But, I would be willing to drink pickle juice…
We have a pretty nice farmer’s market here, but my garden kicks its ass!
If your “sleep squares” have Melatonin in them (a common homeopathic sleep supplement) then that would explain your dreams. It’s known to give people crazy dreams! I haven’t experienced that myself, but I only take 5mg.
Yeah, they have melatonin. It must be a bigger dose than I’ve tried before because I feel it!
OMG that donut story just made me laugh so hard, it literally just made my day! I don’t think I will ever think of a plain donut the same way again!
Oh my goodness, I hate dreams that feel so real! I once dreamt my legs got cutt off the day before my first race ever (give it up for the dana point turkey trot, what what?!). It took be literally 10 min of crying in bed for me to realize that my dream wasn’t real!
That is a horrible dream!
I just read that article about muscle cramping and learned something new – I had heard that bananas helped cramping but they never seemed to work. And now I understand that my cramping was probably sodium-related. Thanks for sharing!
Yup! I’ve got the Go Green St. Patrick’s Day Race (I’m running the half marathon event). Too bad it will be showering on and off. I won’t be racing hard, just running it and having fun 🙂
