I’ll recap last night’s show in a bit – but I’m rushed to get out the door so here is this morning…
I woke up and made Ben a yogurt bowl before my run. Sounds nice, but my real motive was to try some of the new granola Love Grown Foods sent.
Then, I warmed up with some cat dancing…
He likes it. I think.
I’m wearing shorts again. I’ve decided shorts work for runs of 4 miles or less, but these Nike ones ride up 14x more than my other ones.
I had an awesome run!!! I did 4 miles – 1 warm up, 2 tempo and 1 cool down.
- Mile 1: 9:01
- Mile 2: 8:07
- Mile 3: 7:38
- Mile 4: 8:49
Who am I?!?! That is a ridiculously good run for ol’ “Slowlivas”. Get it? cause my last name is Olivas? No? Nevermind.
Then, I came home to a massive smoothie and toast.
I like my layer of sunflower seed butter like Ben likes his women, thick.
Question: What would your nickname be if you could give yourself one?
nice run!! i HATE when shorts ride up..it drives me craaaazy. but its definitely way too toasty to not wear shorts!
My nickname used to be “tatas” — and then I lost 80 pounds and my size E boobs. Take that scummy bitches that I am no longer friends with
Ahhh my strike through didn’t work — sorry for the swear!
And I thought I married the only white guys who likes big ol’ bootys… no really, my family was shocked I didn’t marry a latin guy.
So I had an annoying nickname in school Schiller the Thriller, and once I got married it turned to Sutterlicious
You’re SO speedy! I’d love to know what it’s like to run a 7 mile someday!
So I have no idea what I would give myself as a nickname but during my first semester of grad school one of my classmates decided my nickname was Sassy and most of the time it was just Sass. It stuck to the point that the professors and everyone still call me that!
I think what prevents me from running are running shorts riding up.
It the most awkward thing when you have to keep pulling them down WHILE you are running.
Can you do ask a Monican on how to measure body fat percentage?
You’re so cool! My friends call me Lilo (my name is Lindsey Lowe) and I love it. My family calls me Linds about 98% of the time.
Dude, you are my hero…I am so going home from work this afternoon and putting a handful of chocolate chips from my stash on some peaunut butter and toast.
The sales reps I work for nicknamed me “ninja” because I handle things all ninjastically according to them. My husband and I call each other a variety of super obnoxious (according to my sister) names which I won’t actually list here for fear of ridicule and scorn (which would both be deserved, btw) lol.
Now I wanna know these mystery nicknames 🙂
I would tell you, but I don’t know that everyone’s gag reflexes could take it lol 🙂
I have no idea but my husband just decided he’s going to start calling me Button. I’m okay with that. It could be worse.
I love it! Cute nickname 🙂
I read this book where one of the characters was nicknamed “The Darkness.” I have always wanted that to be my nickname because as a 5’4″ blonde I am not terribly intimidating and I feel it would give me that extra boost to make people not mess with me.
Awesome run! Seriously, that’s great.
And I literally LOL’d when I read that pun about the sunflower seed butter and Ben. hahaha
I think your cat likes dancing almost as much as my dog does.
When I played dodge ball competitively (kidding…intramural) my name was Asszilla. (Alyssa >Assyla> Asszilla…?). Oh the irony of not having a large booty.
I about fell off my chair at the “I like my layer of sunflower seed butter like Ben likes his women, thick” comment. That definitely would have earned me some crazy looks at work, thanks.
My running nickname is Floater. I earned that from mistakingly saying I finally got a “floater” picture where it actually looks like I’m running.
…and you are speedy gonzalivas if you ask me. See what I did there?
Love speedy gonzalivas!
Ok- your cat dancing pictures made me laugh out loud.
I wore shorts on my run yesterday..but was on the treadmill at the gym and I thought my thighs were going to start a fire!!!
I have never tried Sunflower butter..but I love the seeds..does it taste similiar?
Hey Erin 🙂 Yes, they do taste similar – which is weird at first. But it grew on me. I think it’s very “butter-y” (like butter) if that makes sense…
How are you? Will I see you at HLS?!
I am great..just coming back from a blogging break..getting ready for my next 1/2..YAY!!
I will not be at HLS..boo..I am in the process of buying a house and our tentative settlement date is that weekend:( 🙂
Ugh I hate when my shorts ride up! Kick butt run girl 🙂
Girl, you crack me up!!
Nice job on the tempo run!
Wow, super speedy run–that’s so awesome! I’ve had nicknames my whole life, but my favorite is still my childhood family nickname: Gavrielli Smelly Jelly Belly (sometimes just shortened to Smelly Jelly). I guess it sounds a little gross now that I think about it, but my family called me that until I went away to college. Kidding…sort of.
I’m so with you on that one.. I need mah nuh buttah thick. go hard or go home.
And how is the granola? Or do we have to wait for another post for that?
The granola is good, but not very sweet. I guess that keeps the calorie count decent, but I like granola more decadent.
Hmm, me too. I’ll have to keep that in mind. Thanks!
you look so cute in the shorts!! and way to go on those splits!!
