I love those training socks – I have the exact same pair (and about 20 more!)

I’m a seminary teacher – does that count as a teacher? (Not an S&I employee, just a calling)

I just like the regular kind of oreo’s, double stuff. However double stuff should just be regular stuff because no one likes regular right?

I do love Oreos! All kinds. I’m not picky at all.
So many fun splash pads for you guys. I don’t think we have that many in my area but maybe we do and I just don’t know about them.

I celebrated National Running day by walking 8 miles yesterday and lifting weights today (cross training at it’s finest). I wish I could breakup with almond butter, but I just love it so much. Gave blood today to check my estrogen & iron levels. Munching on a homemade protein bar with greens.

Janae, you are SUCH a good mama to Brooke. I’m always amazed at all of the great experiences you give her (splash pads, trips to farms, time with your family, and so much more). She is one lucky lady, and I hope that I can do half as well as you’re doing!! (I’m 30 weeks pregnant with my first!)

Reply

I am a classic oreo kind of girl. I actually mostly like the outside. Sometimes I will tolerate the inner filling but other times I will scrape it out. Maybe I should send the insides to Brooke?

Reply

My daughter looks like such a creeper in that picture at the splash pad. It’s kind of awesome.

Glad you cropped my crotchital area out of that picture.

If we are talking oreos and oreo LIKE cookies, then it is a toss up between the fudge covered candy can joe joes and homemade oreos. If we are talking only Nabisco oreos, then regular oreos (with pb smeared on top) will always be my favorite. But I do like the lemon ones a lot and the s’more ones. Those cotton candy ones are pretty good too. Most of the seasonal ones are okay, but nothing AMAZING! If you haven’t had the s’more ones by Monday night, I will be buying a package to bring to Bachelor.

My training would have started Monday. Boo.

Brooke totally did that with the red velvet oreos at my house too. I don’t blame the girl. Frosting is where it is at!

I have been a grump today despite all kinds of good things going on. Moooody for no reason.

My boyfriend and I have fun trying all the new oreos. The S’mores ones are really good. Though I really think they missed an opportunity by not calling them “S’moreos”

I used to be a toddler teacher, and now I’m teaching preschool gymnastics.

Training for my first ever full starts in a little over two weeks – eek!

Training started last week! I still haven’t decided which fall marathon I’m going to run … Thinking either Detroit or Grand Rapids. Good news is that they’re both on the same day and they don’t usually sell out so I can procrastinate on making a decision :)

I am a teacher, but only for 27.5 more hours. Yes, I counted it up just now! I have the most incredible 2 year old son, Max and I will be having another boy in August. I will be home with my boys in the fall and forever more! Being a mom is the best thing in the world and I can not wait to be there with my boys every single day. Teaching these last two years and dropping off my buddy has been very difficult. But, God gave him the best babysitter on the planet. He loves her and she loves him. He has cried on the way home many times because he wanted her to come with us. I thank God every day for her, literally, and never mind paying her every cent she earns for taking such incredible care of him.

I don’t have a race lined up yet, but I’m hoping to be back in shape enough to do something in the fall. I’m in Arizona, so pretty much all outdoor activity is suspended until its under 100 degrees again.
I love double stuff oreos! I always take off one half (just the cookie) and throw it out, then eat the other half face down so all I can taste is the cream lol. I try to stay away from sweets, but my husband bought me a huge pack of double stuffs when I went into labor in February, and that first night I was up nearly every hour with the baby so I demolished the entire pack to help me stay awake while feeding him. :)

I’m not sure about cotton candy Oreos but the S’mires ones are amazing!

I like oreos……….we try the weird ones, as a group my friends and I will try them, but usually they aren’t that good. I do like the smores ones this year, and the watermelon ones a few years back. The regular double stuff are my favorite though, especially the holiday ones (red at Christmas, orange at Halloween, blue in the summer, and yellow for spring).

I start training for my fall race the second week of July!

Do those running socks help keep your feet cool? I need to find some that are super thin and help keep my feet from overheating in any temperature.
