I started my Saturday with the usual pre-run rituals…
Despite my routine, my run was crappy. I felt slow and tired the whole time. Usually I start out strong and fade, but I faded at mile 1 today. Bah.
I was aiming for 16, but ended up doing 15 something. The last 2 miles were run-walk though. I was not in the game today. I spent the last half of the run trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong: do I need… more rest? better fuel? more sleep? magic powers?
I think it’s “yes” to all of the above.
When I got back home Ben told me he made poached eggs this morning and wanted to make me one.
That was great because all I wanted for breakfast were my two favorite foods anyways… watermelon and eggs!
Poached egg action!
I paired my poached egg with a cheese omelet and half that huge watermelon.
Told you these were my favorite foods…
Oh, creeper alert!
I woke up yesterday with a cut on my nose. I must have scratched myself in my sleep. I need those mittens they put on babies so they won’t scratch themselves. 
Ben and I have been talking about house hunting for a while and decided to check out a few open houses today.
Orange County is sooooooooooooooo expensive. It hurts. When I watch House Hunters and see people buy huge houses with 5 bedrooms and a massive yard for 300k in Texas or Ohio I want to pack up and leave. They really should shoot those shows in the winter so I can check if there’s snow on the ground before I decide to leave SoCal.
This is a pic from one of the condos we saw. I DO NOT like double sinks and don’t get why people like them. If I am in the bathroom – I am in the bathroom and I don’t want company thanks. I don’t care to have company while I floss my teeth and pick at my face so those two sinks would not be used at the same time. Rant over.
Dinner was this Amy’s white Pizza. Not.a.fan. It tasted very healthy, in a bad way. Has anyone else tried this? Do you agree?
I think my english muffin pizzas are 100% better.
And the moment you all I have been waiting for….
Yogurtland Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, they have all the Hello Kitty stuff right now! I got two of these spoons because my friend the cashier thought I was sharing. Nope nope nope. 
Plus I had this guy as a date?
Happiest moment of my month.
I never thought about the double sinks that way…definitely see your point though! The boyfriend and I have discussed our future house at lengths and ideally, we want his-and-her bathrooms. His sister-in-law has told me multiple times about how they’re a relationship lifesaver 🙂
It doesn’t snow in Texas in the winter! 🙂
The last time I had a really tough run, I decided it was mostly from not being well enough hydrated. Sometimes it’s really hard to drink enough water. I hope your next run is better!
Have you looked at Century City? Being adjacent to BH makes it nice, but I can tell there’s a lot of not-extravagant-pricing going on. It’s nice, but not killer.
Just don’t move to Commerce. Lol.
I just had my second “real” fro-yo experience last night, and thought of you and Yogurtland! My fingers were crossed that I’d get some sort of funky spoon to keep as a prize, but it was just a regular plastic spoon. 🙁
I have never had that Amy’s pizza, but their spinach and cheese one is soooooo good! So good that I’m super bummed that they don’t have a gluten-free version. But the roasted veggie pizza has such a great caramelized sauce that I don’t even notice that it doesn’t have cheese on it – which is just plain pizza craziness.
I don’t get double sinks either! I know they’re a selling point but I don’t know why. I’d much rather just have the extra counter space and one sink since I don’t plan on anyone being in the bathroom while I’m in there.
I’ve never tried that Amy’s pizza but love the Amy’s cheese-less pizza!
We just recently got Yogurtland here in the last year. Is there anything special with the Hello Kitty thing? Just cute spoons and cups, or are there special flavors?
Just Hello Kitty spoons and cups, no special flavors.
I literally just ate 2 pounds of cherries and thought of you 🙂
Ha! Thanks?
Well you have to give your credit for doing 15 miles, I mean sheesh! I’m recuperating from an injury and can’t do ANY running. Is there a way I can siphon some of your running to my body? I’d gladly siphon some swimming to yours to help you with the Tri (since that’s all the ortho said I could do…)
Yummy breakfast!
Yes, you are an amazing runner but i gotta say–for us regular humans…having a bad first mile usually means a low mileage run (like under 5). You did 15 hermana!
eggs and watermelon….i dunno. i’m a huge fan of eggs/banana/almond butter with cinnamon laced apple chuncks on top. s-a-v-o-r-y to the max.
I love double sinks! That way I don’t have to worry about saving cream and man cooties in mine. I feel like a bathroom with double toilets is even better. Separate but equal can still be a good thing.
PS- some runs just suck.
Two sinks is dumb. With two kids and a husband, I never get privacy. Ever. I would rip one of those sinks out!
Love the Hello Kitty stuff! My nearest YogurtLand is over an hour away 🙁
But we do have tons of Dunkin Donuts within 5 miles, so it makes up for it.
Have a great day!
Hi! My husband and I found the same thing when we were looking to buy, but found some good, cheaper safer places in Whittier. My commute to the OC is a little rough, but the trees are so pretty here, and there is the greenway trail!
Yeah, Ben’s commute would be killer if we lived in Whittier 🙁 And since I’m from that area-ish I don’t really want to live there again?
I’ve only tried the Amy’s Margarita pizza but was the best frozen pizza I’ve tried! The crust was delicious! I haven’t had one in a little while so maybe it’s the new thinner crust. I hope not.
I am addicted to House Hunters, Property Virgins, etc. You should see what you can get in NC!
Poached eggs are yummy. And not as hard to make as people think.
The Kidless Kronicles
Move to Texas! No snow and if it does snow it never sticks!
Love the hello Kitty spoons!
Man, i wish i were home for the hello kitty yogurtand event! Get a spoon for me? I’ve loved hello kitty since i was able to walk!
Maybe something was going around yesterday because my run was the same. The more I thought about how bad it was going, the worse it got. And I only ran 5 miles..ugh!
I don’t know about the condo associations there, but if I could do it all over again, I would never have bought a condo.
I hear ya.
I love that the cashier thought you were sharing your fro yo, that is something that would happen to me! happy fro yoing and house hunting!
Two words- Inland Empire. I know, I know, not as cool and would add to commute time, but we got a 3,000+ sq ft house w/ pool for well less than half of the OC would have been.
I know, it will be considered. Just not fondly.
When I worked in housing sales, two sinks were always a plus. “One for her to wash her panty hose in and one for him to shave”. Haha.
I am with you on the sinks! We have two in our master bath. One gets used as a sink, the other catches everything else, like my make-up bag, hair dryer etc.
Love your rant about two sinks! We have them in our master bathroom and I love them, but I never thought about your points before!
My husband tried one of the Amy’s vegan pizzas, took two bites, and had to throw it out.
Hey! I in no way saying this as an encouragement for you to eschew animal products completely (what works for my body doesn’t necessarily work for other people, etc.), but I was wondering if you’ve ever tried limiting your animal protein intake just for running’s sake. I know you were vegetarian for a while – how did it affect you on your runs? I tried to add in more egg whites recently and it killed me. I cannot run with animal protein in my system. Again, just a thought. Could have the opposite effect for you. Keep up your awesomeness! Love your humor. 🙂
I’ve been veg and non-veg and it hasn’t really impacted my running. I’d like to think I’ve very resilient?
Eggs + watermelon = breakfast of the champions!
