Hello! Happy Monday! Or, should I say – Sleepy Monday!? I woke up way too early for a rest day. Boo.
So, since I was up I took a nice little walk to shake out my muscles – not sore at all from yesterday’s marathon! I feel kinda bad that I’m not sore though, gotta work harder someday.
Then, it was time for breakfast. I made a protein pancake and eggs.
June Challenge – #30SummerDays
This month I’m teaming up with Staples for a fun photo challenge! The company sent me this Samsung NX300 – wifi enabled camera to capture some summer memories.
From June 1st to June 30th there is a list of something you can take a picture of for the photo-a-day game. Use the hashtag #30SummerDays on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and play along with me if you want! Some of the days have very cool prompts so I’m excited. I already celebrated this Friday’s idea today on accident!
The first day was: Rabbit, Rabbit! What brings you good luck?
I don’t have a good luck charm, but I have something special I do always keep with me! I’ve never talked about it on RER before…
In high school I was in a leadership class and used to help lead retreats. All the members of the class got a cross and pendant on one of our preparation retreat and it was a really spiritual time in my life. I’ve always kept that cross with me somewhere because it makes me feel good.
And that’s why I got extra excited about the challenge – I feel like it’s going to push me share new fun stuff instead of the same-o same-o donuts pictures like always.
Not that those are bad at all… 
Here are the pictures I’ll be taking – play along and tag the pic so I can see yours too!

I had an early morning errand to run today and stopped for donuts on the way back. I blame SR – she gave me a ride home from San Diego yesterday and we seriously talked about donuts for an hour! Seriously. #RunnerProblems
Quick recap of last months best Run, Eat and Repeat!!!
Favorite RUN
OC Marathon Results and Recap because I ran most of the race with a friend and it was fun. And then I drank tequila.

Is it okay to Walk While Running?!
Other RER Monthly Highlights:
Question: Do you have a good luck charm? What is it?
Please, you have to tell me the name of that delicious looking sushi that you don’t remember eating.
Yah photo challenges! I tried making the waffle toast the other day and it was awesome. So easy and super tasty but I imagine it’s a big healthier than the batter version
Hm, I am big on good luck charms, but I recently got this jewish star and this st. christopher alex and ani charm bracelet that I wear that protects me during my travels. I love it!
Well… What kept me going yesterday was getting our rv out of storage. I have a broken foot so today I am paying for yesterday’s trip but..woo hoo…our rv is home. We will be getting it ready for our summer and fall adventures west.
When I swam in high school I used to have the red bull beany baby. He went to all of my meets with me.
IM CONFIDENT here the pic shall be the GoLdEnDoOdLe and ME 🙂
Yup…a lil’ bag someone gave me a few years back.
I don’t have a good luck charm really. But those doughnuts look AMAZING!!! That is awesome your body bounces back so fast! I guess my debit card is my good luck charm…I always keep it on me. If anything bad happens it is always there for me to help me out. That’s basically a good luck charm right? lol
I don’t have a good luck charm. I used to always keep a little stone from Alaska in my pocket but I don’t know what happened to it.
No good luck charm. I suddenly feel very boring.
I’ve never been sentimental about things so much, so I don’t have a good luck charm. Lately, though, I think about my kids and husband a lot when I’m running or doing anything that’s “hard.” I love having them at finish lines of races. It makes crossing the finish line that much sweeter.
I used to carry a guardian angel pendant with me everywhere but somehow lost it along the way 🙁 I’ll have to keep my eye out for one in the future!
I don’t have a good luck charm but need one to keep the injuries away!
I wish I had a good luck charm! I feel like I just always try to be positive and hope for the best, as cheesy as that sounds! 😉
My best friend and I always say rabbit, rabbit to each other on the first day of the month! Most people have no clue what were talking about and think we’re crazy!
I have a lucky chip from Vegas that my dad gave me for my birthday. He also gave me a scratch off lotto ticket at the same time that won $100! I carry the chip in my purse now 🙂
I have a St. Christopher’s medal I’ve had for years. It’s always with me.
I don’t have a good luck charm – never have, actually. That photo challenge looks fun, though!
I don’t have a good luck charm per say, but I do always make it a point to make a wish at 11:11. I figure it can’t hurt and if it gives me a little extra luck, then awesome!
I don’t really have a physical good luck charm…..but I do have a guardian angel…
I think your Samsung link isn’t working. I took me to a house listing.
