Let me know if you have questions.
2. I was quoted in Shape Magazine about 30 Things We Appreciate About Running!
3. On a scale of 1 to ‘high maintenance’ I think I’m a 3, but I need a spray tan ASAP! That’s on the To Do List for today or I will die. DIE.
Spray tan for life
4. We’re bringing See’s Candy for Ben’s fam but his Gramps is diabetic and we were advised not to bring him anything with sugar or salt. So, we’re bringing him some sugar free Werthers. The company sent me a big stash of all their flavors recently and I loved ‘em! Is that weird? Like I’m a grandpa? Don’t judge.
Anyway, they are also sending one RER reader a bag of each of their sugar free flavors and little candy jar. The OG flavor is the best, but you can be the judge.

I am so freakishly pale that even the lightest shades of self tanner look ridiculous so I just go with the vampire look 🙂

I love werther’s lol and yes they do remind me of grandpas.
Stephanie says
Love your quote! Sometimes I get wrapped up in the numbers on the scale and have to remind myself that I run multiple marathons a year. Don’t judge myself by my weight.
Presh says
That’s a really good quote! Definitely a good mindset to have!
abbi says
I love candy, especially Werther’s!
Jen B. says
Yum! The sugar-ful Werther’s are delicious…I hope the sugar-free are just as good!
Amy says
I should probably get a spray tan because I have some serious tan lines-but then I would have to pay for my tan instead of laying out…first world problems..
Allie says
Ive never tried a spray tan!!!! Ive tanned before in a bed(SHOCK!) but I would honestly would rather run the tanless lotion all over my body!!! And then I pray I dont get orange hands 🙂

I secretly love Werthers! My grandmother has a “candy duck” (instead of candy jar) and she’d always stock it with Werthers when I was little… now when I visit her, the duck is always empty!
Mami2jcn says
Werther’s are delicious!
Melissa says
Werthers are awesome!!

Love your quote in Shape Magazine! That was definitely my mindset when I gained a few pounds training for a half marathon…and still PR’d!

Never had SF werthers. I bet they’re good!

I’ve been trying out the tanning lotions, lately. I usually embrace my paleness, but this is my first spring/summer as a runner, and my sock lines are really noticeable.

Werthers candies always remind me of my grandmother because she always had them in her purse just for me!
