1. Okay, I may have to stop taking pictures of my food. Brooke has a toy camera in the below picture and she is the one that got it out of the toy box, brought it over to the table and then she took a ‘picture’ of her crepe. I think I need to reevaluate my life.
2. YES YES YES YES YES YES YES.
3. I don’t even remember how I found this video but can you believe this?!?!
4. Brooke loves the rain. We stood out in it for a few minutes last night and she pointed up and giggled the entire time. Kids really make you realize how cool the simplest things are.

Enjoy the last bit of your weekend HRG!

That meme made me lol so much. I’m glad you had such a productive week of training. You are not only going to rock your marathon but any other races you do.
Adriana @ Laced Up With Lipstick

Erica

Oh my gosh she is so stinking cute taking a picture of her food.
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun
Love all the pictures of Brooke! I Love that she loves the rain. Great workouts this week – looks like you are really getting back into it!
I am the same with Diet Coke vs. Diet Pepsi – IT IS NOT THE SAME!! Diet Coke all the way!!
Meaghan @ Tale of Two Teachers
I’m with Brooke on the rain! Love it!!
Laura
Omg that pic of Brooke taking the picture is the cutest thing I’ve seen in a long time!
And those girls are crazy flexible!
Ellen
The picture of Brooke in the rain is a treasure. Such a sweet, happy girl!
Linda @running4two
So adorable. Brooke could start a blog today and have more readers than me. LOL. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Rebekah
You are pretty much my running hero. That is all. :-)
Liz
Bwahahahaha! I love that Little B is taking photos of her food! I think it’s awesome. And hey, I can think of a lot of other habits kids pick up from their parents that are waaaaaaay worse than using their cameras.
Megan
Great week, brooke with a camera is amazing! Have a great Sunday night! Girls is on!!!
Kay
Haha, she’s a natural food photographer!
Casey @ The Maine Mrs.
Not sure if I love the picture of Brooke taking a picture of her food or her in the rain more. Adorable!
Anne @ CandyCrazedrun.wordpress.com
Hahahahaha Brooke photographing her food is too funny!
Thank you for posting about her in the rain. As someone who admittedly tends to think, “Grrr” anytime it is not bright and sunny outside, that makes me smile!
Meg @ Mommy Don't Play
I LOVE the diet coke quote!!! I feel the same way when waiters ask if diet pepsi is ok!
Alyssa @ See This Girl Run
stop it. Brooke taking pictures of her food?! Too cute!!! She’s the true child of a blogger! :)
Julia B
Ugh I can’t handle diet Pepsi or Pepsi in general- I am actually a full strength Coke girl. Ideally the kind in the glass bottles made with real sugar.
amy
I love that Brooke was taking “pictures” of her food!
Even though I don’t like Diet Coke, that picture is so funny and true for my husband. (he prefers regular coke though)
We haven’t had rain in CA for a long time and we got a little bit the other day and watching my kids run around in it and be so happy just filled me with joy.
Heather
Wowzers, that is one hard core training week! Awesome work :)
ari @ whatarisaid
That video was incredible… holy cow! Like, I had to keep rewinding it because I was in awe as to how they were doing those things!!
Caroline
That’s SO funny that she took a picture of her food- I guess social learning is a real thing :)
Nicole
Brooke wants to be just like her mommy. Adorable!
Holly
AHHHH! I love your blog and read it all of the time! But I was really excited to see that you posted a video of acrobatic gymnastics. My friend is an elite acrobatic athlete and I am blessed with the opportunity to play at his gym; they have an adult class!

This sport isn’t well known and there is a current movement to attempt to petition those who decide which sports are featured in the Olympics to include this beautiful sport.
Anyway, love your blog and it was super cool to be surprised by this video.
Nikki @ will run for pizza
Nice running week! Brooke with her camera is so funny.
Lyric
Glad you liked the diet coke photo Janae! And I am a little embarrassed to admit Brooke can do a better messy bun than I can.. ;)
Leigha @ Minougirl
That video is INSANE!!! How is that humanly possible?!?! Yet another great week of running :)
Allie
Brooke always melts my heart! She is your mini-me, which is such a blessing! I cannot wait to continue to watch her grow up and to continue watching you get stronger and stronger both physically and emotionally each and every day.
Kris @ Canadian Girl Runs.
Awesome workouts!! Enjoy your Sunday!
Lindsey
I can’t stand it when waitresses ask me if Pepsi is ok instead of Coke!! I always just say, “Ugh, I’ll just have water” haha
Losing Lindy
over 5 feet of snow right now, I would kill for warm enough temps for rain
Nicole
Omg the picture of Brooke just cracked me up and made my night! What a cutie pie
Livi
you are awesome! one 10+ mile run a week is the longest I can handle! I have to stick 4-5 for the others! maybe one day I’ll be a running beast like you!
Tess
So…wow on that video. Just wow. Incredible.
Your sweet child has way better hair than I do. That is sad for me. Happy for her. Clearly you passed on your beautiful hair genes.
Diet Pepsi girl here…and I have determined it is in my best interest to quit. I am now 8 days soda free. I miss it.
Suzana
Your Monday run; I ran ONE mile today at 8:15 and almost died! I want to be like you when I grow up :)

My 5-year-old takes pictures of his food, too! Imitation is the finest form of flattery, right?
