Hello! How’s it going? I have ten awesome things to share. It’s a collection of random stuff I forgot to tell you, but want to share and running or eating things I’m excited about right now.
1. After much research I found the best pumpkin yogurt. I’ve tried Chobani, Oikos and the Chobani flip version and random others. So far here’s the best pumpkin yogurt… but I’m actively testing any other options I can get my hands on.
This is the best pumpkin yogurt right now…
This is okay and probably has less sugar, but I’m not digging
2. I made a blanket!! I made this blanket for the baby on the way via Julie, Ben’s sister. I am not super crafty so I was pretty proud of myself even though it’s just a simple tie blanket. I remember my little brother loved a blanket he had that was made out of the same material so I’m hoping it’s a favorite.
3. Someone asked how I drink Spark since it has a lot of vitamins in it. I really love the taste, but do agree that it smells very vitamin-y. My solution is to not smell it. I actually didn’t realize it even smelled for a long time because I always mix it in a covered cup and drink it with a straw. I really swear by this stuff for tasting delicious and giving me a boost!
4. I got a new mattress! I’m pretty excited about it. I’m gonna sleep so hard tonight.
5. If I was an animal I’d be the Pizza Rat.
6. I ate a whole package of Sriracha Cashews today. Thank you Nature Box for the package! You know me.
7. I bought some ombre leggings today I am pretty excited about.
8. My latest Women’s Running post…Post Long Run Recovery Rituals
Okay. I lied I only have 8 things, not 10. You’re off the hook.
I had the pumpkin Greek yogurt from Trader Joe’s and did not love it – too pumpkiny! I didn’t think that was possible. I have the Chobani in my fridge at home but haven’t tried it. If I don’t like it, I will try your Oikos suggestion next!
This is both something awesome and a reference to #1: You have to try Siggi’s pumpkin yogurt if you haven’t already!! It’s the best!
I feel like Siggi’s is usually too tart. I like sweeter yogurt, but I’ll try it 🙂
I have lots of new clients… So happy!
Yah!!!
Starting to finally feel like I’m on the mend after being sick the last two days. Just in time too, I have a half ironman this weekend and go on vacation the weekend after! Come on body, get with the program!
Those cashews look delish!! Random thing: I can’t stop watching new girl marathons. Such a great show!
Is it weird that watching that Pizza Rat video all day has made me crave pizza? hahaha
Nope 🙂
My husband and I are going on a sunset hot air balloon ride tomorrow (or Thursday, depending on the weather) and I can’t wait. We’ve been on a sunrise ride before over the Sonoran Desert but it was over 10 years ago.
Last Saturday I completed my first 100 mile bike ride from Springfield, Massachusetts to Boston, Massachusetts. It was incredible. A police unity ride in honor of fallen police officers, it meant so much to me to have finally accomplished a dream I never imagined possible. Today just a few days later, I’m still basking in the glow and excitement of having completed such a monumental feat. I think the most important thing is that I got to do it in honor of officers who have died in the line of duty. It’s an amazing feeling.
I went to a balloon festival this weekend and decided to want to run away in a hot air balloon. who’s with me!
I am running the Saints and Sinners Half Marathon in Boulder City, NV on Saturday! More awesome, it is all down hill!! The route takes you by Lake Mead and through 5 old train tunnels. You can choose to be a Saint or a Sinner at the water/fuel stops (doughnuts!!) and at the end. Can’t decide what I want to be …
I’m in a “GO GO GO!” motivated phase of working out! Yaaaaay just in time too, im getting chubs hhaha
I love the ombre running tights look. Brooks has some out right now too that I’ve been eyeing! Target might be the cheaper option though!
They were 27.00 I think. Which is def cheaper than Brooks.
The Sriracha Cashews are to die for from Nature Box, wish you could just purchase them separately.
Not awesome….husband cancelling the half marathon we were going to do in October!
Awesome…He cancelled it for a Justin Moore concert! 🙂
I thought we agreed that I could be the 9th awesome thing! Or did you know that you were gonna stop at eight when we agreed to that. Shrewd! Very shrewd!
Cute leggings! I am a pretty classic dresser, but I love neon colors and fun prints for running clothes. I run at weird times too and I think it makes it easier to spot me 🙂
Random: I have no problem spending $100 on running shoes but I’m kinda freaking out that I just spent $75 on booties.
My random thing: I finally have a physio appointment! I’ve been injured for so long and it took me ages to find a physio that wasn’t extortionate! So I’m very happy about that 😀
In icing my foot. My tendinitis decided to appear just when it’s long run crunch time. Not awesome. 🙁
Awesome is that I am sipping coffee right now and have 20 min more before I need to leave the house.
