1. I ordered a bunch of these Ring Bowls from Mark My Clay. Of course, mine all say CHOOSE JOY 🙂 I put them by my sinks and gave some as gifts. I also love that they come in pretty packaging!
2. I bought this Nike Element Half Zip at Fleet Feet this week and LOVE it!! It’s a little longer on me than the model (covers my bum)…perfect for wearing over tights and it’s super soft!!
3. Marcona Almonds, sometimes referred to as the ‘Queen of Almonds’ have a softer texture than traditional almonds. If a cashew and an almond had a baby, it would taste like Marcona Almonds. I had never had them until I married Jason. They’re like gold in our house.
4. After forced time off from an achilles injury, this shirt from Nike was too perfect! Bonus: It’s on sale!
5. SNL brilliantly tackles gentrification. This skit cracked me up!

That skit was hilarious! And now not only do I need to get that T-shirt you have me wanting that jacket as well! You can’t have too many running jackets right??

I love Marcona almonds! My aunt used to buy that container from Costco and send them to me in care packages in college, and I’ve been addicted since! I definitely agree that they are a beautiful cross between an almond and a cashew – good description!

Next time you are not running, swim. I see that you are already cycling. That would mean that you would be a triathlete. Yes, indeed, not running might make you a kick-ass triathlete. It is 3x the fun! And at least 2x the clothes:)

I had someone say to me “this is how triathletes are made!” Im intimidated by the pool. I know how to swim, but ive never done laps and i dont know the etiquette. I need to get over it!

Think about all the runners you have helped in various stages of their journey. You don’t to get “over it” about swimming, you just need to make a swim friend. Find a pool guru and go to the pool with them a few times. Swimmers are every bit as friendly as runners. And there is no better way to rehab an injury than floating, stretching, and moving in water.
