Sunday Funday!!

This morning started out with a run.
Protein and honey bunches of oats were breakfast

image

I did 5 miles, my mom made it to about 2.5 with me.

image

image

We were a little slow lol.

image

I just ran out on the roads

image

image

Still pretty and great running weather.

Then mom and I went out for lunch or a late 2nd breakfast depending on what you want to call it.

image

Yep I had bacon!!!!
Mom and I shared the pancake.
Then we drove around a bit and found Dr. Cullen’s parking space by accident

image

After lunch mom, stepdad and I took the dogs for a little hike.

image

image

image

image

It was pretty Flippin beautiful. 

And now I am tired so it’s off to bed!!!
I hope you had a great day!

Thursday thoughts

Work was good today, very steady which made it go pretty quickly.

My awesome coworker bought me sushi for lunch, I have been craving it for awhile but have been too broke to buy it.

image

It was gooooooood. 

I raced home after work because we were supposed to have a showing of the house tonight that I needed to be here for. 15 minutes before they were supposed to arrive they cancelled. Sooooo annoying!

Oh well I spent the rest of the night relaxing and packing

image

I can’t wait to get away for the weekend!!!

Weekend Wrap up

Let’s see, Friday night I finished my book for book club the meeting is on Tuesday.

Saturday I got up and went to spin class

image

Then met my friend/co-worker at the farmers market

image

I got pita bread and humans and tabouli

image

Some flipping delicious local honey, I am eating a spoonful a day to help with allergies, I also started putting it in tea

image

I got more strawberries, and some local eggs and spring onions. I was craving eggs, I had them yesterday and today. They are half gone already lol.

The rest of the weekend for me was about reading and resting after having to deal with these allergies. How do people do this? I am feeling better. But only feel about 90%

image

image

It has been an overcast and rainy weekend. Actually I love it

image

Books and tea.

image

Got the coffee pot ready for tomorrow, finishing off this sample I bought in Hawaii

image

Use the pita bread to make myself a little pizza for dinner.

How was your Weekend?
How do you like to spend a rainy weekend?
How do you deal with allergies?

Sunday funday

And another weekend comes to close. I slept in and loved it. Thankfully it was a relatively cool and overcast day so I was able to lounge and wake up

image

Delicious breakfast of champions.
Headed out around 11:30am. Artemis made it to 3.6 miles today another distance increase for her. Then I dropped her off and went out for another 7.5 by myself.

image

Crossed this bridge at about 9.5.
Got to relax a bit when I got home

image

She was knocked out most of the rest of the day haha haha

image

My 11 miler is in the books!!!!

How was your weekend?

Happy Sunday!

Worked 4.5 hours at the Tulip festival then came home and did nothing and it was wonderful.

OK so I did a few things,  I made a big vat of chickenless chicken noodle soup

image

That gives me 4 lunches this week and 4 servings in the freezer.

I did some dishes and wrote some post cards.

It’s May Day!!!!

image

I burned a candle from the time I got home and just blew it out on this great day associated with passion and love  to find my perfect match. It smells delicious like a sexy man. It seriously smells like rugged man Cologne so I figured it was appropriate hahahahaha!!!

Now off to bed, I have a 6am training appt.

How was your weekend?

Hardships of being a triathlete PT 1

Oh so technically i haven’t completed my first triathlon yet but i am working on it and most of this works for running too hahahahaha.
oh and disclaimer, i got all these photos from pintrest, none are my own lol

1acfa880001dc4a3e8b07918742731d1

seriously. This is even worse when my workout schedule gets screwed up, “well i think i am swimming tomorrow so i dont want to wash my hair tonight”……..5 days in a row.

Running was bad enough, the shoes, the gels the clothes, add in swimming and biking and my accounts are not only empty, they are negative.

Finding someone to either deal with your workout schedule or workout this much with you is diffincult. and yes the more in shape i get the more i want a ripped guy who still fits all my other critera……..apperently i will be alone forever hahahaha

It’s a battle every morning.

something fun to leave you with.

 

Weekend Wrap up

Well i had my alarm set to get up and go to the gym to swim before going to work at the tulip festival, 5:30am came around and no. I decided i needed the extra hour of sleep.

image

This sign reminds me of the story of how my parents met, or at least the story i was told lol. My mom was working as a gardener at LBCC and my dad was working as security and he walked by her bent over gardening one day and thought ‘I have to have that A**”. Whether this is true or not, I love the story lol.

It was raining today so i got to go home at 12:45 instead of 4. I got home and once again knew if i sat down i wasn’t getting back up so i unloaded the dishwasher and reloaded. I started getting the pot ready to plant my onion seeds

image

image

Annnnd ran out of soil lol. So i will be buying some on my lunch break tomorrow.
After that i wrote some correspondence

image

image

Post cards!!!! Yep i still enjoy snail mail. Then i finally sat down/laid down for a little while.

Around 5:15 i got up and got dressed. My Uncle and his wife are in town looking around so they took me to dinner then i showed them around a bit.

I came back home and had every intention of going to sleep early to hit the gym but that didn’t happen. I got sucked into 3 episodes of Veronica Mars. So baring an aqua arobics class i will be swimming tomorrow night.

How was your weekend?

Saturday happenings

Day 1 of a very exhausting 7 weeks.

Except for the 3 days i have races i will be working Saturday and Sunday for the next 7 weeks at a tulip festival. I am working 7 hours a day along with my normal 40 hour/week job and my training.

Today was my first day at the festival. 7 hours on my feet which is not something i have done in a very long time. It is fun and doesn’t really feel like work which is nice but man is hard on the body until you get used to it.

image

image

They have booths and rides and obviously tulips and u-pick fields and all kinds of stuff.

I tried to pack a lunch but ate it as a snack so i got a garden burger for my lunch.

image

My feet were already crazy sore when i got home and my body was exhausted but i needed to run and i knew if i sat down i wasn’t getting back up. So i had a quick snack and Artemis and I set out for a run. My goal was 6 miles but by 2 miles my feet were alternating between feeling like they were on fire and sharp pain so we headed home. My 6 mile run became a 2.5 mile run.

image

image

I put ice on my feet immediately

image

I am very thankful that i have the ability to stop myself so i can recover and not seriously injure myself. I have so many races planned this year i will not let pride or stupidity get in my way.

While icing my food i checked outbmy first bulu box.

image

image

Bulu box is a sample box of fitness/health/weight loss stuff.

image

This will definitely be a snack for me tomorrow.

image

Will be using this on tacos soon

image

Perfect size to keep in my purse

image

It came with 2 samples and I’ve totally already taken one. It was actually pretty delicious.

image

This will come in handy over the next few weeks.

image

I don’t have allergies so i will probably give this to someone else.

image

I can always use stuff like this.

image

Every day you work you get to take home a free bouquet :):)

And now i am going to eat something, pack my bag for tomorrow, maybe read if i can keep my eyes open and then pass out!

How was your Saturday?

Weekend Wrapup

Noooooooo!!!!! It’s sunday night again.
Back to the grind we go.

Yesterday i hit the pool for a little 30min workout.

image

image

Then in the afternoon it was off to an orientation meeting because i will be working weeknds at a festival up here at the farm my roommate works out for the next 7 weeks. Except the 3 days i have races.

Dinner was the delicious Salmon and veggies i had made Friday night with a southwest salad.

image

image

And i watched Kiss The girls since i finished the book.

image

Sunday it was long run day. 5 miles

image

I taped my knees to be safe since they were sore at the end of the week.

I took the dog out running with me. We only got about half a mile until the drizzle started to pour then turned into hail. She didnt like that too much so we turned around and brought her
back home.

image

image

Then i went back out and braved the  elements to run 5 more miles. It misted, rained, poured and hailed. It was in interesting run lol.

image

image

image

image

Me looking like a drowned rat after my run. Also i look like i was crying. I am guessing that is the rain running all my sweat into my eyes.

And now its sleep time.

How was your weekend?

Do your weekends fly by too?
