Not only does tossing pizza dough in the air make you look really cool (exhibit A: below) but it really does help to form the perfect circular pizza crust.
My sister has cooked for me a lot ever since I moved back to Utah so I decided to make them dinner for once. Trader Joe’s whole wheat pizza dough, green peppers, ham and pineapple.
Along with a spinach, feta and craisin (even though they look like raisins) salad with poppyseed dressing.
As an expert in this matter, I believe that the younger you start baking cookies with kids the better. Brooke even brought her step stool over to come help.
Christmas Tradition Day 3. Brooke and I made these HOT CHOCOLATE COOKIES last year for a Christmas party and they are the best and we are going to continue to make these each December. The sad one in the back was made marshmallowless because my sister requested it that way (and because of that we had our biggest argument since spring of 2005).
The coolest shoe box in the entire world:
It is still snowing. To avoid the risk of slipping on ice and cracking my femurs for the second time I will be spending time with my treadmill and the Biggest Loser.
I am going to look mighty fine sporting my Christmas themed PRO Compression socks and my new Brooks Transcends (coming out 2/1/14).
And a blurry picture showing how happy Brooke is to be inside of Target as we were getting some Christmas gifts.

Karien @ Running the Race
That pizza looks amazing!!
I run in Asics Nimbus and have for the past few years – my perfect running shoe! :)
Michelle @ 3cheaprunners
Those cookies look heavenly! I wish there was a scent feature on the internet…lol. I ordered my holiday socks in Monday – can’t wait to get them and wear them to the Santa Shuffle
Sarah @pickyrunner
I only wear mizuno wave inspires to run in. I am obsessed with them. My dream would be to be a shoe tester for them and try all of the models. Those hot chocolate cookies look so delicious. I’d say that’s the perfect Christmas tradition for Brooke to learn at a young age. Never too early to enjoy marshmallows ;)
Megan @ Meg Go Run
Thank you for that cookie recipe! I am totally going to make those for my piano students this year!
Emma @ Culturecopia
No Christmas shopping for me as I will still be 7,000 miles from my family :(. I love my Nike runners, but no matter WHAT I find it basically impossible to run as fast on a treadmill as outside!
That pizza looks delicious!
Runner Girl Eats
I am soooo happy you are still loving those cookies! I have been dreaming of making them for the past month and have plans to bake so many batches this season :)
Ashley @ Kick Ash Mom.com
Her coat is adorable! I love starting traditions. We just started Elf on the Shelf and I’m having a blast.
Allie
I find it easier to run faster outside for some reason! I run in asics but really want to try Brooks. I’m just afraid to spend money on running shoes that may not even work for me. Such a dilemma! ;) Cookies look incredible!
Shay @ Whine Less, Breathe More
I haven’t started my shopping yet. I should probably get on that.
I find that after I run on the treadmill a lot, I feel like I’m running slow motion outside.
Lately I’m running in my Asics Cumulus and my Mizuno Sayonara.
Karen
I’m actually all done with Christmas shopping. Everything is wrapped too:-) No more stress for me!
Until this year I wouldn’t have believed it, but I’m faster outside. Alas, with the icky Michigan weather, me and outside won’t be friends for a bit.
I’ve been running in Saucony Guide 6 or Asics Cumulus 15.
mary @ minutes per mile
omg coolest shoes/shoe box ever! haha. brooks has the cutest/funnest stuff. i have pureconnects and love love love them.
Rhoda @3cheaprunners
Yummy cookies!! I have started my Christmas Shopping but still have a ways to go!
Depends on the weather for where I can run faster, warm weather, I can definitely run faster on the treadmill.
I am currently running in Mizuno Wave Riders.
Sanaz@ Run for Cake
I need to start my Christmas shopping! I am a bad girl. Good for you for starting!
Your pizza looks delish! Like a true pro. I’m so proud of you for getting back in the kitchen. :)
There is something about running outside that gets me running way faster than I could ever run for a long period of time on a treadmill. I’m running in Brooks Ghost 6 and I love them. Now I just need those Christmas compression socks and I am ready for Christmas.
Leah @ Running with the Hayneses
I’ve got almost all of my Christmas shopping done! Though that doesn’t really count for a lot because my husband is making a lot of the gifts we’re giving (he’s a woodworker), and he hasn’t even started on those yet. :/
Holly
Seriously I want that shoe box. Amazing. Is it Brooke’s favorite new toy now? :)
Allie (Live Laugh Eat)
That box!! You should let Brookers keep her pet puppy in there. Slash she should be a model because I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in wanting that vest!
Linda @ running4two
I have been craving pizza lately…
I need to start Christmas shopping ASAP!
Brooks Pure Flows…I’m in love. :)
Aimee - funfitgirl
For me, runner faster is way easier outside…the treadmill feels like 10x Moore effort to go the same pace as outside.
I love my Newtons!! I would love to have a pair in every model – that would be my dream haha
Meagan
Those shoes look pretty awesome! I am an asics girl but I did buy the PureDrifts for a half marathon! I like the light weight. My bf surprised me with a pair of asics for Chanukah (the GT 2000); they’re light weight and don’t have a lot of cushion. I think they’ll be great for racing!
My shopping is complete since I celebrate Chanukah! I’ll get the bf a few more things but other than that. DONE and DONE!
PS Those cookies look amazing! I may have to bake this afternoon after work!
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun
I am going to have to make those cookies for my husband! They look so delicious! He loves all things chocolate and marshmallows!
I am so jealous of your shoes and compression socks – you don’t get much better than that!
Heather @fitncookies
I’m almost done Christmas shopping and I am quite ecstatic about it! I can’t wait to not worry about that for the rest of the month, or fight the crowds ;) P.S. Paying off the credit card bills this month for all the Christmas gifts already purchased is also a great feeling haha
Jackie
I’m almost done my Christmas shopping!!!!
Ashley
Haha- I think I make that same excited face as Brooke whenever I’m in a Target :)
Matt @ Runner Savvy
I’m so excited for the new Brooks shoe!
Cori @ olivetorun
I decided to start Christmas shopping for people today… Wednesday… not on Black Friday, Cyber Monday or any of that jazz but AFTER the deals.
Fail.
karla @ finding my fit
Brooke’s smile & happiness can bring a smile to my face even with all the personal issues and sadness I have going on. What a blessing!
I don’t run anymore but I did just order the Crossfit nano 2’s from Reebok. So excited =)
Molly Rose
I think I’m better at pacing myself on the treadmill, so for me I think I can go faster (and stay that way) on the tread.
I just started wearing Brooks Adrenaline and so far, so good! I had the Ravennas before. I’m a fan of Brooks.
Was that shoe box for real? Crazy!
Hot chocolate cookies sound so amazing!
Kristina @ Blog About Running
Same, same, same!
I can easily hit negative splits on the treadmill, but outdoors? Not gonna happen 99.9% of the time :) I love the Adrenalines! I just started wearing them in September (I used to wear the Dyads – not recommended) and LOVE them!
Kristina @ Blog About Running
I was feeling bad yesterday because I had not started my Christmas shopping yet, but reading the comments above me make me feel better since I am not alone! :) I’m always a last minute shopper. I read somewhere that you actually get better deals closer to Christmas too!
Kim@hungryhealthy
I definitely run faster on the treadmill. Love those new Brooks shoes and what do you know, I’ll be needing some new running shoes around February. Also, love the looks of those cookies!
Chelsea @ A Fit LittleOne
I love how thrilled Curly looks haha. I am almost done Christmas shopping!! Only one more person to buy for and I will do that Thursday :D. Difinitly easier to run faster outside! But easier for me to push myself on the treadmill since it has all the different speed and am forced to at whatever speed I choose or fall off haha. Mizunos! Speaking of, I really need to get some new ones, 750+ miles is too much for one pair of shoe.
meredith @ The Cookie ChRUNicles
I do hate the treadmill but I DO run faster on it for the most part versus outdoors since when on the mill, I am always trying to speed up to be done….I love baking with my son and totally started baking cookies with him at a super early age! So fun!
Rebecca@Runningfoodbaby
I currently wear Mizuno Wave Inspires and I love them!
I have not started Christmas shopping yet – and probably won’t start for another week or so
Wendy @ New Moms Talk
We did Christmas at Thanksgiving with my folks and my hub’s son since we were back in Virginia.
Today or tomorrow we’ll make grandparent Christmas presents with the help of one grandma. (Hand print Christmas trees= the perfect way to spend Susanna’s first birthday!)
Other than that, presents are mostly done. Just need to book a B&B for the hub and me and make something for our girl. Simple & Sweet.
Elizabeth @ Positive Change
That is an awesome box! It makes me smile every time you share your Christmas Traditions, Brooke has a wonderful mom! :)
I am DONE with Christmas shopping I went Black Friday and it was the best decision of 2013 for me :)
I feel I can run faster outside, I seem to push myself more than just set a speed and go.
I am a Wave Rider girl all the way, I am really wanting the new 17’s out so I can’t wait till my 16’s hit their milage!
Nicole @Pink Elephant on Parade
That’s the same look of joy I have when I’m in Target!!!
My mom always tries to discourage baking as it is quite messy. Now that I live alone, I have to agree with her. Plus I’d eat everything I make and that’s never a good thing.
Ashley @ My Food N Fitness Diaries
I’ve started Christmas shopping online, and it’s the BEST way to do it! Especially when they offer free shipping! :)
As for running outside vs. on a treadmill… It really just depends. If it’s a beautiful day, and the terrain outside isn’t super hilly, then I find it easier outside. But if it’s super hilly, freezing, and/or really hot, then running a treadmill is definitely easier.
I’ve been running in my Reebok OneCushions lately… Never thought I’d go with Reebok again, but they sent me these shoes, and they’re one of my new favorites. Typically I love Brooks Ghosts though.
Kari @ Running Ricig
That is one fancy shoebox!
I wear Brooks Adrenaline 13s. I think I can run faster outside, but running on the treadmill is way more comfortable lately. Too bad my treadmill is broken and won’t be fixed until Friday!
Megan
I just started Christmas shopping! So far I bought one of my best friends a new North Face running jacket (and got myself one!). It is way easier for me to run faster on a treadmill. I am rocking the Brooks Glycerin. I would love to have a pair of Ghosts also. And the Asics Cumulis… And the Saucony Kinvara. Oh and some old school Jazz’s.
Bryan Kraham @ BSX Athletics
My dream shoes are FREE shoes (that have neutral stability)
I have tried many brands but have settled in on Brooks the last few years. Ghost 5 and Ghost 6.
Elizabeth @ my neon running shoes
Is that the candy isle in target? I know it well :) I haven’t made pizza in a whole but I have tj crust ready to go! I’m thinking about trying newtons for my next shoe. Have you ever ran in them?
Nicole @ Work in Sweats Mama
Definitely checking out that cookie recipe. YUM! And, yes, the earlier you start baking with your little ones, the better. My daughters love to help out in the kitchen. I even let them lick the spoon every now and then.
Love the Christmas-themed compression socks. Fabulous!
Taylor
Try buying TJs herb pizza dough and then roll pieces out into bread sticks. Brush them with butter and sprinkle with parm…it is amazing!! Going now to get the cookie recipe :)
Sara @ lifebetweenthemiles
Those shoes are AMAZING!!!! I’m currently running in the Brooks Defyance 6’s and I LOVE them. I transitioned to Brooks in Sept and haven’t looked back, they are amazing!
I have started my Christmas shopping but am NO where near done.
I actually love the treadmill, I have a really hard time keeping a consistent pace outside so its much easier to stay consistent on the treadmill.
Colorado Gal
They’re not running shoes, but I saw your Steve Madden Troopa boots a few weeks ago and I fell in love with them…and bought them. They came yesterday– so cute, so thanks for the tip :)
The Hungry Runner Girl
That makes me so happy! They are the best!
Allison
I have that same look when I go to Target!
Kristen @ Medium Roast
I’ll probably be spending the better chunk of winter not running. It gets dark way too early to head out. Luckily, we aren’t in an area that gets much snow, so at least I can spend weekends outside. I’m definitely going to need to buy a pair of those Christmas themed compression socks! Especially If I’m going to be outside. Or maybe I’ll throw on a holiday vest. That will look great with my bright pink running jacket – ha!
Marissa
I have 3 more gifts to buy and then I’m done!
Long distance I run faster outside (especially when it’s cold) but shorter distances, I am faster on the treadmill.
Currently, I am wearing Adidas Ecoboost and they are pretty awesome for long distances. I just got a new pair of Mizuno Wave Runners and Sayanaras. I’m all about any shoe that won’t give me blisters.
Laura
I’m surprised how many people are faster on the treadmill! I feel like a turtle on it with 1,000 pound legs! I’m way speedier outside, no contest.
Your marshmallow argument since 2005 made me chuckle!
Alyssa @ See This Girl Run
Seriously coolest box ever!! Love that!
Stay safe in all this snow. I heard the roads were yucky in your neck of the woods too.
ari @ whatarisaid
Love Brooke’s boots, those are too cute!
No I haven’t started Christmas shopping yet… I’ve been doing too much shopping for myself. Ooops. I need to hire someone to do all my shopping… anyone interested??
I think I’m faster on the treadmill because I purposely can set it at the speed I want to go, rather than relying on myself to decide a speed…
I need those cookies in my life now. NOW!
Gracie (Complicated Day)
I’m almost done Christmas shopping and I’m so proud of myself!
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles
I’m about halfway through my Christmas shopping…I’m hoping to get it finished over the weekend!
Eugenia Byrne
I was just thinking about the treadmill/outdoor issue last night, how much harder running at the same speed outside is for me on the treadmill. I often just run for enjoyment, not focusing much on pace or killing myself, but when I have finished, my pace is always significantly faster outside. Trying to maintain that speed on the treadmill feels like so much effort. I found this article that I found interesting: http://runnersconnect.net/running-training-articles/treadmill-running-easier/
BTW, those cookies (with marshmallows) look so so yummy!
Harper
Do you feel like they are trying too hard this year with Biggest Loser? I miss the challenges every episode.
The Hungry Runner Girl
Yep! But I am still hooked!
Harper
Well of course I’m sticking around! I’m wayyyy to invested now.
Ashlee
I think I do better outside than on the treadmill, but it’s getting cold and I’m an asthmatic whimp….
I am currently wearing Pumas that sadly aren’t made anymore, but I put those cool glow in the dark New Balances on my Christmas list, and those new Brooks look pretty slick.. I haven’t quite found that “dream” shoe yet though.
Flower
Christmas Shopping? Well, I bought 3 tv’s on Black Friday, not that anyone including myself needed them, but because I am seriously stupid.
I definitely run faster outside though it used to be the opposite, not sure why that changed.
I am currently rotating 4 pairs of Brooks Pure Flow 2’s, the best shoe in all the universe and i love, love, love them. I will probably die if they stop making them.
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats
Oh my gosh, that box is crazy! And I make hot chocolate cookies like those, but instead of putting the marshmallows right on top, I take a few and form a ball of dough around them, that way they’re inside the cookie. Usually they spill out while baking but it’s a really cool effect.
Ashten @ Southern class and a bit of Sass
Those cookies look amazing. I must make some soon.
I have a problem shopping for other people.. I always end up buying more gifts for myself than other people.. that is pretty sad since it is the season of giving and all!
Michelle @ A Healthy Mrs
I love the look on your face in the pizza tossing pic — eeeeeeeeeeeee don’t drop it! :)
Christina
I love running in my Brooks Ravenna 4s. I’m interested to see what the 5s are like. Are the Transcends a stability shoe? Those look so comfy!! Let us know how you like them!!
Miranda @ Lovely Wife Lovely Life
Those cookies look amazing! You and your sister looks SOOO much alike- almost twins!! And I’m still lovin Brooke’s vest ;) All of my shopping is done! Which makes me happy and sad at the same time haha!
Laura
I’ve done probably 1/4 of my shopping so far–mostly online.
Right now I alternate between brooks ghost and mizuno wave riders. I’m looking forward to the next wave riders cause I hear they are ultra cushy!
For me it’s probably easier to run fast outside but I can keep pace more even on the treadmill. I have not yet mastered how to keep my pace consistent outdoors….something I need to work on.
Love that pic of Brooke helping with the cookies!
Mary@RunWalkLift
I’m on my 12th pair of Brooks Glycerin. I’ve had 5 of the Glycerin 10s. Tried on the pureflows, want to try a more minimal but it felt strange.
karen
I am in LOVE with that little fur vest!!!! How stinking cute! :)
Kristin @ W [H] A T C H
working out while watching the biggest loser is ideal. it’s the only way i’ve found to feel like im vicariously participating in the workouts…with bob, of course.
Amanda @ .running with spoons.
Some of my best childhood memories involve baking cookies with my mom, so I definitely think that the earlier you start, the better it is :D When it comes to Christmas shopping, though? It’s the other way around. I usually wait until 1 or 2 weeks before Christmas to do my shopping because the last minute rush really gets me into the holiday spirit.
Ali
I really want to try Newton running shoes. I like the 0 drop shoes, but I miss the cushioning when I run in other minimalist shoes. Anyone run in Newton running shoes!?
Livi
those cookies look so DELISH!!
Laura @ Live, Run Sparkle
That dinner looks awesome! Pineapple on pizza is my favourite.
I have put a dent in my Christmas shopping, but still not really ready. I think I need to make a list and start crossing things off to stay organized.
I run faster outside than I do on the treadmill lately. It used to be the other way around and I was pretty much a 100% of the time treadmill runner but now I’m all about running outside. Could be because it is warm and not snowy in Vancouver these days.
Christina
You know you’re a runner when you drool over the shoes rather than the cookies. I have same color Brooks Pure Cadence well in 4 different colors. I use em for walking when I’ve done enough running in em. Got my 5k pr of 23:28 in em recently woot woot! I wanna try on those transcends!!!
Fizz @fizzsbizz
Ahhhh you just reminded me that I have NOT started Christmas shopping. It’s going to sneak up sooooo quickly!
Caitlin
Can Brooke BE any cuter in her adorable fashionable shoes and fur?! Holy! And that pizza looks incredible. In the last year I have developed a love for pineapple pizza.
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff
marshmallow and chocolate are so versatile….smore’s or hot chocolate depending on if you pair with or without graham crackers. lol!
I have only started saving links to gift items online that i’d like to buy for people but haven’t actually made a single purchase (well my niece and nephew already got their Thanksgivukkah gifts last week)
My dream sneaker are the Asics Cumulus 13s….only problem is that they are now up to Asics Cumulus 15s and I can’t buy the 13s anymore. Shattered dreams! I’m still on the hunt for something I love as much (currently the Asics Nimbus 15s are the stand-ins but not as dreamy)
I can definitely run faster on the treadmill but I hate the feeling of trying to keep up with the pre-set speed. My form usually goes in the toilet and I’m more prone to injury. So I keep treadmill runs to maybe 5 a year =)
Leslie
Your pic where you are tossing the pizza is so cute! The kids look less than impressed, but you are definitely making me want to try out making my own. I hope you used an Italian accent while making it! :)
I have not started Christmas shopping yet. Feeling so behind!!! I did do my annual Christmas craft last night, so Christmas planning/tasks are in full swing!
My running shoes are Mizunos. I picked them because they are lightweight and bonus-they are bright pink! I feel like I can run faster on a treadmill because I get bored and just want to be done.
megan @ that running girl
Man. That pizza is inspiring. Well done.
Cori @ shes going the distance
starting today all my cookies shall have marshmallows on top!
Ashley
I haven’t started Christmas shopping yet but I NEED TO!
PS: I am a little sad for sister that she CHOOSES to miss out on the melted marshmellow goodness! Looks BEYOND good!
Lora @ Crazy Running Girl
Those Brooke Transcends look AMAZING! Love the colors on those! I seriously need to start Christmas shopping… ahhhh.
Rebecca Jo
Holy cow.. how much money was spent on those shoe boxes?!?!?!
Elle
I’ve always been dedicated to Asics, but I just got a pair of Mizunos and I may be a convert…. they’re so light! I cannot run on the treadmill at all, so I hope this winter is too snowy/icy.
Kathy
So I hear the Transcend is taking over the Trance…I can only wear Brooks Trance…I so hope I LOVE the Transcend as much as I love the Trance. Hmmm, maybe the Brooks people should send me a pair to try out “early” so I can see if I need to stock up on the Trance before they are ….to infinity and beyond….
Hmmm…marshmallows on cookies ?? Now there’s a new idea?! May have to surprise the kiddos today. ;-)
Kay @ goaloflosing.com
I think it’s odd, but I can run faster and for longer outside.
Patiently waiting for Spring! In the meantime, the treadmill is it for me.
Taylor @ Singletrackedmind
That pizza and salad combo look delish! I loooove poppyseed dressing.
I’ve ran in Nike Lunarglides for years. I’ve gone through about four pairs. I faltered once and ran in Altra Torins but they didn’t work as well for me.
MILF Runner
Brooke is not ever going to take that vest off!!! I’ll bet she’s pretending she’s a puppy :)
I always FELT fastest when running in the dark.
Andrea @ Andrea out loud!
those cookies look fab! And I JUST started xmas shopping, i would like to say i am running behind but usually i am always a late starter and then i get all stressed haha. SOMEDAY I will be one of those people who is done shopping in early december.
Annette@FitnessPerks
WOW. That pizza and salad. Want it allllll NOWW!!!! Yumm!
Tiffany
I run SOOO much faster on the treadmill. I suck at pushing myself outdoors. I am almost done Christmas shopping yay! And I always wear Mizuno Wave Riders. I am a creature of habit, if they discontinue those babies I am in trouble.
Amber S.
I am stuck indoors due to a winter storm too! Fortunately I got my long runs in Monday and Tuesday. Dreading the treadmill for my short runs though. And next week has temps in the single digits; uggh. Welcome back frostbite. Have you always been ok with running on the treadmill or was there a time when you disliked it? If so, how did you get past it? Do you run at an incline? Also, those cookies are calling to me!
STUFT Mama
I haven’t even gotten out my decorations!!!!! Ahhh……. Mizunos of course. HUGS FRIEND!!!
Nicole
I was ALL OVER Amazon on Monday, doing shopping for myself, my nephews, and my brother. More shopping to come……
I find it easier to run fast on the treadmill…..I don’t think my legs could move that fast independently!
My shoes, as late, have been Asics Gel-Kayano 20’s, but I’ve been dealing with muscle strains and pains since I got them. One of the things I bought on Amazon was a pair of Mizuno Wave Inspire 9’s…..my old shoe. I’m hoping going back to what I used to wear will help me avoid further injury!!
I’m like Brooke – I think I get that happy and smiley when I go Target shopping!!
Naturally Carly
Definitely run faster on the treadmill. Unless I’m running with my friend. She’s fast. She pushes me. I love it.
And right now I have to back off of running. Freaking me out just a bit. Experiencing some disc pain that needs attention and rest. Super bummed.
Katie Did What
I am proud to say I’m DONE with my Christmas shopping!!! :D It was my goal this year to be finished by Dec 1st, just cuz, and I am! That is the coolest shoe box ever. Also, those cookies. YUM!
xo
Kay
Have you been through the $1 section at Target recently? SO MUCH CUTE STUFF. Like little kraft paper and metallic design pens, cards, washi tape, ahh!
Susan
I am done with my shopping, too. YAY. I generally shop online which I just love. I was 100% treadmill runner until this summer. Now I am addicted to being outside but we just got a huge snow/artic storm so back onto my treadmill for a few days. I know I will be doing much shorter runs to bridge the gap until I can go outside again. My shoe is the Saucony Guide 6.
Jessie
Hoping you will review the Transcends soon–I have been drooling over those since I first saw a picture of them a few months ago. I currently wear PureCadences (originals) but I’m down to my last new pair and I dislike the 2s.
Crystal@TheFastFitRunner
How can you even leave the house with that much snow out there???? WOW!
Megan
That pizza!! I need it, now!! Yum!!
Jut finished ( I think) my shopping last night!! A mighty good feeling!!! Now there is more time for baking! ( and eating!)
Margaret
Oh my gosh…Brooke! Those leggings, those boots, THAT VEST! Holy gaucamole! So cute!
Jen in TX
I love Brianna’s poppy seed dressing! They make it here in Texas. It’s good to know it’s available in other states. I was always afraid that if I had to leave Texas, I wouldn’t be able to have my favorite salad dressing! :)
Leigha @ Minougirl
Those shoes!! I can’t wait until February! I haven’t done any Christmas shopping yet. I’m a last minute kind of girl. I know that I go faster on the treadmill but I absolutely hate it. Lately I’ve been running in my Mizuno Wave Rider 16 or Elixir 8’s but I really want to try Brooks!
Nicole@thegirlwhoraneverywhere
Homemade pizza is a staple on my weekly shopping list…love. Love. love.
I am running pure flows. We’re in love…I’m buying two more pairs this week so that I can run in them all winter long!
I started a little bit of shopping, I think it’s so much fun to buy people amazing gifts and see there faces light up when they open them!!:)
Lisa @ runningoutofwine
I haven’t bought anything for Christmas yet, but started brainstorming what I will get for people. I still have a long way to go! I definitely run faster outside…I can’t go fast on the treadmill because I get scared I will fall off:) I am running in mostly pureflows and rotating with my purecadences.
amy
Yay! Cookie making with Brooke! Nice tradition :)
I will have to try that recipe.
Your pizza looks so pretty (and yummy)
Brooke looks like a cute little teddy bear in her vest.
Ok, that shoe box is incredible. I love brooks! I have a pair of the ghost 6 and I really love them for my feet.
Oh and I think I can run faster on a treadmill.
Losing Lindy
I just got some sweet new Sauconys. Love the pictures
Andrea
If you like the wheat pizza dough from Trader Joe’s, try the garlic herb dough. It is a.ma.zing!
I bought something for my husband today, but other than that I haven’t started Christmas shopping. Our families live far away and we’re staying home this year, so we have to ship all of our presents. Fortunately we have Amazon Prime and free two day shipping, so we’ll probably wait a couple of weeks to order everything.
Lauren @Will Run for Boston
I have run in Asics for ages but I recently started crushing on Newtons and I want a pair so badly!
Amanda
I loved the Brooks Pure Flow first edition. How heavy/light are the Transcends?
Kelly
Those shoes are so cute! And that shoebox is amaze!
Lisa
Lovely cookies– they look so good!
Saw this video and thought of you: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-chemistry-of-cookies-stephanie-warren#review
(ps. Hope that’s not too weird considering we’ve never met!)
meredith@runmerirun
I haven’t started shopping yet but I don’t have too much to get. I think running outside is easier since there’s more distractions. Those cookies look amazing! I have a cookie exchange coming up & I can make up my mind what to make! I’ve worn saucony guides for 4 years now. When you find what works you stay with it!
Niki
Outside running (Except when its below zero).
Just a few christmas gifts left. Getting close!
