Hello! I am here to explain what I mean when I say I have a ‘tamale baby’. But first let’s celebrate the awesome delivery I got yesterday. The absolute highlight of a runner’s day/week/month is getting new running shoes. I am trying out these HOKA ONE ONE shoes and will report back with my findings soon.
I ran 10 miles in my new Hokas and my favorite Run Disney race tee = Stitch 10K tee. Love this one!
As I was leaving for my run I saw the tamale lady hanging out on the corner.
I quickly turned back home, grabbed some money and returned to the corner to buy a dozen tamales. Nothing is more American legit than buying tamales from a stroller or shopping cart. That’s how you know they’re good.
Serve ‘em up with a few yolk-y eggs and prepare to be happily full of a tamale breakfast (belly) for the rest of the day.
Me in a nutshell:
Me in a hoodie:
I don’t know what I was doing yesterday, but my hair and make-up were obviously not a priority.

What can you do everyday to go the extra mile? http://bit.ly/1eoiq8M

Only thing better than new running shoes is buying homemade tamales from a lady on the corner.
Nothing is more American than BASEBALL! the end.

I recently started running in the Hoka shoes too. Not sure how I feel about them yet. They are great for downhill because of the support but lately I keep feeling like they are too heavy on me and can feel blisters starting to form. Like my feet feel hot…have you experienced that too?

Nothing is more American than … having lots of options to celebrate the 4th of July! For us, it’s a family get-together with barbecue, hot dogs for the kids, lots of ice cream and the best part: watermelon!!!
My hubbie wants those tamales!
Liz says
Omg! I heart tamales purchased roadside! Reminds of my childhood- once a month or so a little old lady would be on our corner selling them out of a cooler in the trunk of her ancient Cadillac. They were amazing.

Nothing! But maybe puppies…
Annette says
The food you get to eat after testing out your new running shoes!
Nothing is more American than doing nothing the day before the 4th bc hey, no work!!!

New running shorts from Target! And a sparkly soul headband!

Better than new running shoes = sports bra that doesn’t chaff.
Nothing is more American than yelling at the neighbor kids in your yard on the 4th of July, and then waking up to black cats exploding at 3am under your bedroom window. Dang kids…

Well, cuddling with grandkids is better, but new running shoes is pretty dang close. 🙂
