Hello! How’s it going?
This morning I woke up HUNGRY. I had a late night last night and didn’t really eat dinner (might have drank dinner, but that’s not the point). So, first thing I did was make some oatmeal.
Then, I took a walk to warm up my legs and went back home to stretch. I’m still in recovery mode from the Long Beach Marathon on Sunday and taking it easy for a few days.
I also managed to walk into a bush while looking at Instagram on my phone. A lot of times people are spread out on the path I walk, but of course there was someone passing right by to witness my graceful encounter…
I thought I was being attacked by some ninja covered in leaves so I jumped and used my karate skills to fight back. It was quite the scene.
To make matters worse Vegas was waiting for me back at home and when I told him the story he judged me…
Now he keeps heckling me when I pass by…
So I made him some toast

and now he’s happy.
(Note: I just lost half my day down the rabbit hole of cat gifs. I can’t stop. Send help!)

Running Tip #1
I always think of random running tips that I think I should save to share when I have a lot. But, I’ve decided to just post them as they pop in my head movies.
Save the space blanket you get after a race. Wipe it down if necessary. Fold it up and keep it under your seat or in the trunk of your car. Then, you can use it to sit on after a sweaty run or as a cover if you need to change. If you’re looking for a perfect design of blankets, visit the In2Green website.
Or as a disguise if you want to avoid people by calling even more attention to yourself.

Question: Have you ever walked into a bush or pole or something in public?
Did you wake up hungry today?
I walk into stuff when I’m playing on my phone all the time. It’s beyond embarrassing! I did it once when I was walking on to the bus and I walked into the rear view mirror and everyone on the bus saw. AHHHH!
Haha, Ninja tree!
I once walked into a lamppost whilst on holiday in Crete, I did not remember this because I was in fact a little bit drunk! The next day, whilst having lunch in a bar, the owner asked if I was ok? When I asked why, he told me what had happened the night before… mortified!
I woke up starving this morning, no bueno. Also, I always keep space blankets for chilly race mornings in the future so save money 🙂
love the idea of keeping the space blanket! I think I got one for a race once and just immediately tossed it… but this is a way better idea!
Did I wake up hungry today? Girl, I wake up hungry everyday! HA!
hahah excellent tip!
I really wish I could say No but not only have I run into bushes, trees, poles, and fences in public, but I have also eaten it quite a few times due to the uneven sidewalks in my neighborhood (and my penchant for daydreaming…).
I totally used the space blanket from Chicago as a picnic blanket this weekend! They’re the best! And they collapse into a backpack quite nicely. The one difficult thing is explaining why you have a giant shiny piece of plastic stuffed into your backpack when security searches your bag at the airport.
That last cat/dog gif was the best!
Hey how is Ben doing? Haven’t seen much of him…
And did you get SR to start blogging again?
YES… usually when I’m on my phone- oops! What a hearty bowl of oatmeal after a night out… I do the same!
I save my space blanket for chilly race starts where I know it’s going to warm up and I don’t want to toss my clothes. I know people wear trash bags or get Goodwill clothes, but the space blanket works for me!
I walked into a glass sliding door once. It was so clean! 🙂
I was so hungry this morning. I had an egg wrap sandwich at 7am and then an entire bagel with cream cheese at 10am.
I am going back to your sport bra post. I thought I loved my moving comfort bra but after seeing the little video my boyfriend took of me finishing my half marathon Sunday apparently the girls could use a little more support. 🙂
Yes! I once walked straight into a lamp-post while looking backwards. So cringe.
Also, just the other day I stepped down onto an escalator travelling upwards while I was on my phone, nearly slapped myself off the ground!
I nearly always wake up hungry unless I’ve been out for dinner the night before or something like that! Porridge is the best cure, you totally have the right idea there 🙂
The last time I visited NYC I walked RIGHT INTO a telephone pole because I was staring at all of the signs and buildings instead of watching where I was going. Thank god nobody knows me there.
I looked at away from the path at some scenery the other day while running. Almost immediately, I tripped over my own two feet and almost fell. Fortunately there were several other runners around that could laugh at my clumsiness.
I run into stuff all the time. It’s just how I do. 🙂 I didn’t wake up hungry but man, I need about double the normal lunch portion after strength and a 5 mile run!
I have long hair and wear it in a single braid down my back. The other day I was running and I felt something tug on my braid- I thought it was a kidnapper natch, so I screamed and whipped around. Turns out my braid was just caught in the zipper of my camelbak. Embarrassing.
I woke up not hungry at all today, which was odd because I didn’t really eat dinner last night either. It’s usually the other way around, so I guess my body decided now was a good time to switch it up. I used to deliver newspapers (for 13 years) and once I was in a hurry and turned my bike too soon and ran into a house. Because, ya know, they move around so often and all to get in your way. My bad.
I have never (that I can remember) walked into anything in public – but I’m probably just blocking it – but my 12yo daughter did just recently. We were walking in to Marshall’s and there were a couple of ladies trying to get their big and very hairy dog into the back of their SUV. My daughter was staring because she’d never seen a dog like that before and walked right into one of those moveable sale signs out in front of the store. It made such a racket that the ladies looked to see what happened and started laughing. My daughter and I laughed so hard we had tears. She decided (after we were in the store) that she should have turned around and bowed 🙂
Ha! Poor thing. At least she didn’t get hurt.
When I was younger, I lived on Navy Base housing – where all the houses looked the same – totally charged into the wrong house yelling about when dinner was ready. Realized this was not my family or my house, turned around and left. It was HYSTERICAL and since I had lived there for a week – a great ice breaker story about the weird girl who just walks into stranger’s houses.
Oh my gosh! I feel like that’s something I would do.
I just walked into something in public the other day! I was walking downtown in my city, and watching a squirrel run around across the street. The street was busy, and he kept almost going in the road. I was hoping he wasn’t going to get hit by a car, aaaand then I walked straight into a light post. The squirrel, fortunately, had better luck and did not run into the road– my pride was the only thing hurt that day.
Are you covering your face in your pic because you have a black eye? Hope not! 😉
I thought of your blog today as I was doing a project and had to scour a bunch of GIFs for the right humor. Have you ever used giphy.com? Great database!
I’m going to check that out! Thanks 🙂
the studious peeps at my uni library do not appreciate these cat gifs. I on the other hand, will keep giggling hysterically to myself as I scroll through them for the 6th time.
Ha!
I didn’t walk INto something but I walked OFF a ledge (okay, it was like a 6″ step), and took a really graceful fall to the ground. It was one of those “OMG that didn’t hurt at allll”…..while bleeding from knees and elbows.
Ha! I’m not laughing at your fall I’m laughing at the ledge!!
Yes!! I’ve made a complete ass of myself running into a bush. Only one person saw but still embarrassing. All I could do was laugh. 🙂
