Hello! Happy belated Earth Day and happy Monday! How are you?
I’m still in Florida, probably going home soon though. It’s been real and it’s been fun, but it’s also been real fun…. just not to run. It’s only April and the heat/humidity is legit.
I think this is a sign I should taper though…
Speaking of signs… here is my W.T.Florida Part II
1. Um, hello. Not cool.
2. I saw 2 dead birds and a BIG dead fish on my run.
3. Sweat from my arms was flinging off me as I ran. It is super gross.
4. Turtle Selfie! I saw this lil friend on my walk this evening!
**Note: I also saw a snake but was NOT about to take a selfie with him.
5. I have become a weirdo at Walmart. Fantastic.
6. Florida Pro Tip: Skip this… get real Reese’s
I thank you for not taking a selfie with the snake (or posting a picture of it). For some reason several of the bloggers I follow have been posting pictures of snakes and I’m over here going “major phobia heart attack happening”. Needless to say I would NOT have taken a selfie either.
1. Sweat flinging off arms: totally normal for us Floridians. You really do get used to it.
2. Coolest thing i did this weekend: meet Nicole DeBoom, professional triathlete and founder/CEO of Skirt Sports! She was in my town for a clinic on triathlons and her business success so it was super cool to get to talk to her.
3. Gators are totally normal where I’m at…I’ve seen two on my runs before. Snakes, not so much but they still exist. I may try to casually take a selfie with an unsuspecting gator but I’m not brave enough to pick up a snake. Isn’t that odd?
I ran my 1st full marathon this weekend!!! I finally did it! It was hard but I am so glad I did it!!!
Best thing I did was run my first marathon! Best thing I ate was the pancakes afterwards. And I take lots of selfies…but a snake. No.
The best thing I ate was strawberries from the stand in Camarillo. They will change your life, BUT you will never eat strawberries from anywhere else. Also, I have learned that weirdos at WalMart are “Wal-Martians”. Your welcome!
The best thing I ate this weekend was definitely last night’s roasted leg of lamb! YUM
Also, no me gusta snakes!
I probably would take a selfie with a snake. or just a picture of the snake… i would probably take too long to find the “best” angle for me hahah.
Best thing waaass… friday night i went to six flags! we rode practically every ride, it was so awesome. I was beyond exhausted after, i slept on the car ride home like a 6 year old. I ate pizza, a churro, and funnel cake. So good.
But then Saturday, I helped my friend clean out her closet and this drawer thing for the bathroom, throwing away expired stuff and old make up, I LOVE cleaning and organizing. AND she fed me pizza and a cadbury egg. Best day ever.
But those Butterfinger cups look SO good! How were they?
I made some killer zuchinni noodle lasagna. I only had a taste of it since it was batch cooked for eating this week, but I think I won’t really miss real noodles (hopefully) since I’m trying to avoid the majority of the time.
We have two leezard pets and a tarantula, but no snakes. I like snakes, but I’m always afraid of being bitten and don’t really want to deal with feeding them live mice. Ewww.
I need a spiralizer thing soooooo bad!
And those pets… you are legit!
I ran in the Ragnar Zions Trail race this weekend and on the five hour drive home we stopped to get a Guacamole burger from Carl’s Junior because it sounded so good!
That does sound amazing. How was Ragnar?
I headed back to DC for a friend’s wedding so it was nice to have a change of pace. We have another one to go to as well this weekend but then things will calm down a bit. I remember living in FL and the horrible humidity…I don’t think I envy you on that one 🙂
Yeah! That sounds like a good weekend 🙂 How was the wedding? They are the best parties and everyone is so happy. Love it.
I love snakes! My ex husband and I used to have them as pets. We had a corn snake, a ball python, a boa constrictor, and we had bearded dragon lizards. I let him feed the snakes the dead mice though. I had no part in that. And once, one of the snakes got out of the cage (the babysitter didn’t put the lid on properly) and I found it weeks later curled up in the spine of one of my binders for school. I screamed like a murder victim. A selfie would have captured the moment quite nicely.
That story almost has me screaming!!!!!
EVERYTIME I see a turtle in real life…… Someone dies
Ha! This made me laugh. You win 🙂
There’s no prize, just my laughter so I kinda win too?
The best thing I did this weekend was plan and prep for the start of the Whole30 challenge that I’m beginning today! Excited to see how it changes my body both physically and mentally !
I ran in Zion national park this summer…and saw a friggin rattle snake. It rattled, I selfied.
Best thing I ate, the chef’s chicken at Pelican Alley on Casey Key.
Snake Selfie, awe hell no! Ain’t gonna happen.
We had a cinnamon roll french toast casserole yesterday for breakfast. Amazing.
I would scream and run away from a snake. No time for a selfie there.
Ugh humidity is just not my friend! And that cat sign, wtf!
aw man, can’t you stay in Florida with Ben longer??
Um..I am so scared of snakes, alligators….or anything that can potentially kill me. Let’s not even get started on sharks
I would only take a snake selfie if I had a really really really long selfie stick!
I ran marathon number 6 yesterday. First time my boyfriend got to witness me run a full. It was so sweet to hear him say how proud he was of me at the finish. It’s a moment I won’t ever forget.
I’m dreading the humidity that will arrive in New York in a couple months. I start my nyc marathon training in July and its brutal.
No joke, the heat and humidity down here for April is INSANE. It’s going to be a hot summer! You’re right, sweat definitely flings off of your body when you’re outside here, haha. I guess it’s just something you get used to 😉
I was running down by a canal and saw a snake slither in, and swim across! I absolutely did not know snakes could swim. I mean…how?? Sadly there wasn’t time for a selfie 🙁
Happy Monday!
