Nothing Is More (Mexican) American Than…

Fun· My Life

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.

I don’t know what I was doing yesterday, but my hair and make-up were obviously not a priority.

      Only thing better than new running shoes is buying homemade tamales from a lady on the corner.

      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!

      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.

      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…
