3 Things Thursdayyy

It's that time again! And you know what that means - tomorrow is FRIDAY!

1. I guest posted over at Gourmet Runner today. Vanessa is fantastic and you should all be reading her if you aren't already. Plus she loves peanut butter as much as I do, which is a definite win in my book! :)

Seriously, she is so cute!

2. Things are happenin' around here (hopefully) and I (hopefully) will be able to share some good news soon. Secrets secrets are no funnn... I know, I know.

3. When I got home last night I wanted to run. This never happens (I am one of those weird morning workout people, Tara) so I popped in Mamma Mia and jumped on the treadmill to knock out a progressive 5 mile run. This movie makes me so stupidly happy. I was singing along while running. If you ever need a treadmill mood-booster, this is the way to go!

Your turn! Tell me something that's going on with you!!


Do you like guest posting? I love it. And if you love it, I may need you next week.... :)

3 Things Thursdayyy

I'm still running on a high from a great run this morning so I'm in a superb mood.

Which brings me to 3 things thursdayyyyyyyy!

1. I guest posted for Britt, so you should go check it out! You can read my post here :) I adore her, so I was thrilled to post for her!

2. I did end up signing up (gah, I'm so last minute about these things sometimes!) for a 5k this weekend. I just couldn't pass up paying only $18 to race out in the heat and humidity this weekend. Hopefully I'll come back with a nice PR.

3. My best friend's hubby is coming home tomorrow! He has been gone since January (he's in the Navy) and I could not be more excited for her!

Tell me something (or 3 things!) about you! 


Anyone else running any races this weekend?!

3 Things Thursdayyy

There's still time to enter the giveaway!

1. I hit a really bad lull this week with training. I've been going at marathon training pretty hard lately and this week I hit a big fat brick wall. Every.single.workout has been a HUGE struggle. Once I get there I'm OK, it's just the getting there part that has been a little rough...

2. This little book, courtesy of this beautiful BFF of mine, has been a HUGE lifesaver. HUGE. I love writing in my workouts and how I felt during them so that I can look back and see what factored into what when I'm reviewing my weekly workouts.

3. I am the most miserable shopper known to man (woman?)... And I hate the mall. With a serious passion. I used to be a magnificent shopper, but I think after working at the outlet mall in San Marcos that it stripped me of my desire to shop.

Hate the mall or love it?


Do you track your workouts? If so, how?

1. I'm going for 12 miles this weekend. Everyone can go on ahead and be jealous of what is sure to be a fabulous run with my new shoes and (hopefully) running PIC *ahem, Britt, are you convinced you need to go yet?!)* And Paula, I hope that these shoes work better for me than they did for you... I am the world's best clearance shopper and I died a little when I bought these at (almost) full price, so they better work. Otherwise I will just be getting new legs.

2. My new shoes came in the mail yesterday! Remember them? They are here!!! Well, technically they're sitting in a brown box in my car, but they're in my possession. Now let's just hope they fit when I try them on. :) I should also be getting another package today with a new dress and a new shirt. Ordering things online sucks when you order them because you have to wait, but it's like Christmas when you get them because they're already paid for (and I've already forgotten that I paid for them...)

3. DirecTV says they offer "thousands of videos" at the tip of your fingers to watch immediately (when you're willing to pay $5,000 to rent it through the TV). This is the biggest sham of all times. Sean and I spent fooooreeeeveeeeer (Sandlot, anyone?) trying to "rent" a movie because I didn't want to watch the billionth recorded episode of Criminal Minds sitting in our DVR, but none of the movies were "out yet". Guess what we ended up doing.

Three Things Thursday

1. Lately I've been hearing the word "epic" to describe things, events, etc (OK, mainly from my little brother). While I assume that, like, epic is the new "like", I think the term "epic" is WAY overused. Just because you had a good day does not make it "epic". Just because we went to Yogurt Cup, does not mean it was "epic" (well, that one is debatable...)

2. I just bought these on sale from $30 from White House Black Market. My Vegas trip thanks you for putting these on clearance.

3. There is a slight twinge in my right leg that showed up this morning. I've been trying to ignore it today by propping it up on my trashcan and putting an ice pack on it. Britt and I have 10 miles to cover this weekend, so that needs to stop immediately. Unfortunately, my entire leg has gone numb. That tingly feeling is driving me insane right now.

Has anyone else heard the extreme overuse of the word "epic"? (And Luke, if you're reading this, I promise I make fun of Sean way more than you).


Do you get to wear slippers at work? I don't really leave my office in them (yes I do), but I wear them sitting at my desk all the time. I also usually have a pair of flats and a pair of heels readily available.
