Hello! Happy Monday! I think I’ll call it Medal Monday today in honor of the runner instagram tradition to share your medal pics. I don’t have any new race medals to share, but Vegas was sleeping against this wall right now and I took a picture. Then, I realized the poster was coming off the wall and I should probably frame it.

I got this poster at a race I did way back in Oct 2009 – the Freedom Half Marathon!! I was blogging way back then, but it was tragic.

And finally I realized that I’ve put more than just race medals on my medal hanger. I spy some press passes and other event identification on the hanger too. I want to keep them, but don’t have anywhere else to put ‘em right now. Not worried about it.

This morning I woke up bright and early. I took a rest day since I ran long yesterday.
Since I was in the mood to move I did the Dirty 30 workout from 21 Day Fix .
Then, I made breakfast while enjoying this apple-banana from my mom’s neighbor.

I made eggs and then took a lil Sunday morning walk with Ben to get coffee and the most almond covered pastry of your life.


Ben likes almonds.
I like coffee.
I wonder what Mexican dogs like? (This isn’t an inappropriate joke.)
Apparently some dogs like Chipotle flavored treats and dog supplements for weight gain… now you know.

Fun fact: When I took Roxy to puppy training I had to fill out a form asked “Breed of your dog?”
I answered: Mixican. Get it? Because she’s a mix and she’s Mexican. And the trainer actually put that on her form! Ha!
The Roxican watched me bake at my mom’s yesterday. I didn’t get those dog treats because I’m not super interested in cleaning up dog barf though.

I also spent some good time with the other pups.

After a Saturday filled with running and baking and relaxing I decided to take it easy Sunday and have a few adult bevs with a friend. It’s good for you.

Question: What was the best thing you did this weekend?
Me: It’s hard to decide! I’m going to say baked at my parent’s and cuddled with all the dogs. If you’re a fellow dog lover, it might be life-saving to learn information such as can dogs overdose trazodone.
We had a long weekend with Friday being a holiday. Always nice to have 3-day weekends!
Our dog is also from Mexico! Mixican is a cute way to describe them 🙂 I don’t know how appropriate this was either, but we dressed our dog up like a taco for Halloween one year. She was pretty darn cute.

Love it! Did you make the costume?
My friends came over and we were supposed to watch a documentary but ended up talking for 4 hours instead…I love those kinds of evenings! xo
Those are the best times!
Hmmm. the best thing I did was…. had some delicious wings.
Well I got to run 12 miles with running friends. I think it was the first non-race that I got to run with friends. It got tough at the end but having idle chatter helped.
