Just a short little post with random pictures from my phone that I haven’t shared with you yet.
Got some quality time with my homies for lunch the other day. It had been far too long. PS remember when Candice and I used to go pool running together every morning at like 5:30 a.m. for a few months?! Yeah, I’m very glad we are both road running now but I do miss our conversations while running through the water at .03 miles an hour.
We eat bunny grahams while reading about bunnies.
Had a s’more last night and it just made me even more excited for summer. Come faster.
1st, I promise I am wearing shorts… 2nd, we invented a new game which combines broom hockey and soccer together. It is quite entertaining.
To go along with the last post, I have actually become quite good at dating myself. A salmon salad and a good book.
Taught some spin this morning and then did 5 miles (7:30 average pace) on the treadmill. Brooke loves to stand directly in front of the fan so that it can blow her hair around.
Brooke had her first experience with one of the best candies (Cadbury mini eggs) ever created. I’m not sure if she liked them because she only had one but how could you not love these!?
I bought this workout top to race in a few weekends ago and I’m still loving it. The mesh in the front and back make it way different than any of my other tops. Also, yes I am flexing as hard as I can in the picture. I have also been loving this top because the slit in the back keeps me from overheating. Fitness instructors—> don’t forget that you get a discount at Lululemon!!!
My latest favorite angry song that helps push me through a speed interval. This song makes my legs move quick.
A few non-angry workout songs that I am loving and played at spin today:
–Heartbeat Song by Kelly Clarkson
–Leave Me Alone (I’m Lonely) by Pink
–My Body by Young the Giant
–Time of Our Lives by Pitbull & Ne-Yo
–Such Great Heights by Postal Service
–I Bet My Life by Imagine Dragons.. one of my favorite songs right now.
Enjoy the rest of your Thursday and I’ll see you in the morning!!!

SO fun that you had a pool running friend! :)
Love that top!!!
I have that same Easter book for my kiddos (What Is Easter?) – they love it!!
Have a great day!!
Sarah @ KS Runner
Bleed It Out is seriously the best workout song ever. I usually listen to it 3-4 times at the start of a marathon. It’s the best.
Cadbury mini eggs are hands down my favorite Easter candy. Something about the shell makes them even better than an m&m. Now I want some.
I’m not ready for summer (I could live a very happy life without ever seeing 90+ degrees again), but I am ready for spring. It is supposed to be in the 60s here this weekend, so I’ll pretend it is spring for a few days!
Daisy @ Fit Wanderlust Runner
I am loving listening to Imagine Dragons right now when I run. Oh and that top is absolutely cute.
Laura @ This Runner's Recipes
Cadbury Mini Eggs are hands-down one of the best candies! They make them in dark chocolate also and I pretty much eat my body weight in those on Easter.
I’ve been listening to I Bet My Life and pretty much all of Imagine Dragon’s new album a lot when running lately…along with Taylor Swift because 1989 hasn’t gotten old for me yet.
Becca
I love your top, too! I’ve always wanted to try Lulumon; it’s just a matter of time.
Cadbury mini eggs are my favorite spring candy. I limit myself to the small packs because I could devour a huge bag all by myself, and I don’t need the incentive.
Jennifer
Girlfriend time is the best!!
S’mores…YES please.
That lulu top is so cute. I can spend a fortune there!
Erin @ Erin's Inside Job
I just exchanged some Lulu things that I won so now I have a credit and I am too overwhelmed to get anything because I’ve never bought anything from there. I need to make sure that I pick THE PERFECT thing because I don’t see myself spending much money there. I just can’t justify it!
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan
That Linkin Park song is the BEST to run to – definitely one of my favorites!
We got more snow today, it was really pretty, though I think the knowledge that spring is just around the corner made it more exciting.
Kay @ goaloflosing.com
The Littlest Bunny in Utah! Adorable!!
This is my first Easter with my baby girl. I can’t wait!
Leah (goodnight, cheese)
+1 to bleed it out!
Andee Taylor
The top is so cute!
I haven’t let myself buy any Cadbury mini eggs, yet. I will eat the entire bag myself.
Emma @ Life's A Runner
Those mini eggs are my absolute favourite! I don’t really like most of the other commercial easter candy (regular chocolate eggs are where it’s at!) but those are my love.
Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious
Trouble by Imagine Dragons and Outside by Calvin Harris with Ellie Goulding have been my favorite workout songs lately. I actually forgot about Linkin Park until now.
Erin @ Her Heartland Soul
I love all the Easter stuff! Dating yourself is so important! If you don’t like spending time with you, who will?
Jessica @ VEGGIE RUNNING MOMMA
That top is so awesome.!! that can definetly be worn with anything. Running or not, which I’m sure you’ll do :p
yumm. I miss smores.! Can’t wait for the summer to make them by a fire.
Heather @ Run Eat Play
Cadbury mini eggs are the best candy ever. I wait all year for them.
mary @ minutes per mile
cute top! i should become a fitness instructor strictly for lulu discounts ;)
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff
Awesome playlist!!!
I might be the only one who doesn’t like those mini Cadbury eggs.
But I do love the Reese’s pb eggs.
Jillian
LOL… I obviously didn’t see this before I said the same thing below ;-)
Jillian
I don’t like Cadbury Eggs! I think I’m the only one though.
My Body is such a good workout song! I really like I Lived by One Republic right now too!
Liv @ Healthy Liv
That’s awesome that fitness instructors get a Lululemon discount! I’m in love with that black top. And reading about bunnies while eating bunny grahams is precious <3
Bobbi
I did not know about the 15% fitness instructor discount. THANKS! You made my day.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Love Lincoln Park!
And I totally saw this awesome recipe for S’mores bars today and it has me craving a campfire…s’mores…and summer!
Monika
Easter is one of my favorite holidays! We always celebrate it big in my family because Polish traditions. LOVE CADBURY MINI EGGS omg I bought an entire back on Monday and have been eating some every night for dessert with a glass of milk. Delicious. Also SMORES yes must do that this summer! Still have not purchased anything from Lululemon…maybe some day. I like Nike clothes too much.
Nona @ RunningHigh
I had “My Body” strategically placed in my playlist to come on at Mile 20 of my very first marathon! It helped me push through! Love those two tops. I want.
Livi @ Eat, Pray, Work It Out
Love your spin playlist :)
victoria @ Smiles 'n' Snuggles
I’ve lost track of good workout songs because the gym just got free wifi and I’ve been catching up on shows that are on Netflix. I’ll have to listen to some of these before I start running outside again so my iPod is up to date!
Meg R
Yum I want that smore!
Janelle
I just did intervals as well and Boss’s Daughter by Pop Evil is one of my favorite angry songs to run to. It’s got a secretly great melody in the background even though it’s “angry”. That’s how I feel about Linkin Park too haha :)
Rachel @ Blonde with a Chanse
I love your top!!! I need to get some new tanks!
Langley
Your hair always looks so perfect!!
Kathee
I think Lululemon makes the best workout clothes. Yes, they are expensive but I wear them ALL the time. My running clothes are a lot more fancy then my “going out” clothes. So worth it.
Thanks for the song ideas!
Amanda B @ Cupcakes & Miles
Ooh! Both of those tanks are really cute!
Have you ever listened to Sevendust while running? The are my favorite regardless, but really help push me through my runs…well that was while I was still listening to music during my runs.
Great post!
Megan D
Brooke is probably the first person in the history of ever to stop after eating one Cadbury egg.
That top looks super cute on you. Most be the muscles.
I should try dating myself. I think I would enjoy it. Especially if it involves salmon. And fro yo. Of course there would be fro yo.
The biggest benefit (maybe even the ONLY benefit) to us having a fire pit is having smores. There truly is something magical about them.
Lunch was the bestest. You and Candice are the cream of the crop ( I rise to the top. I never eat a pig cause a pig is a cop) of friends. Thanks for always listening and caring. I love you!
Kayse Hinrichsen
Dating yourself is always a good idea, if your single or taken! Gotta take care of and love yourself! Does this mean the last guy didn’t work out? Dating is stressful and very different theses days but try to relax when it works it will work!
Aubrey
I LOVE the postal service! I’m desperately waiting for spring/summer.. it was a -4 degree morning today when I left for work .. blahh. But next week I’m supposed to see a 46 degree day!!! I can’t waitt!
Stephanie
I ordered new Saucony bullet shorts this week and also some cute Brooks shorts. That will have to cover my new gear fix for a bit. I’ve got an Oiselle mesh tank still in the bag that I can’t wait to wear… hooray for Spring!
Thanks for the angry song recs- I tend to not know what’s going on in the world of angry music but love them for hard runs, so having someone else to guide me helps. :)
Staci @ Hoosier Running Mom
I have been listening to Eminem for my speedwork lately…he seems to make me push through pretty well.
Addison
Those cadbury minis are like crack! So delicious!
Jessica @ Laces and Lattes
I was in two car accidents this week. I totally need ALL the angry songs right now. Thanks for sharing!
Marissa @ Run Riss Run
I just found out that Lululemon offers discounts to PE teachers and coaches as well! Woohoo!
Leah
Mini Cadbury Eggs are my FAVORITE! I could eat the whole big bag in one sitting so I have to restrict myself and only buy one small bag at a time! LOL!
Di
Heartbeat song is my current fav! I’m humming it right now! I also love those mini eggs. Bring it Easter candy! :)
Kay
Cadbury Mini Eggs are the best!! Especially the dark chocolate version
Tricia @ A Couple of Dashes
I have “I Bet My Life” on my playlist too!!! Also, love that tank! I’m definitely going to have to check that one out!
