Every year Brooke joins me for Global Running Day but this year she seems to have doubled in height since last year! Brooke rocked her .5 miles (she has a kids race at the end of the month). How can you not run happy when you have her smile and giggle next to you!
I have just a couple of things to share with you before we get to the GIVEAWAY!!!
Before my .5 mile with Brooke I went out on 8.1 miles of my own. I put on my playlist from my last race and jammed out to those tunes while I ran. Seventy degrees and my body is starting to acclimate. I was hot but it didn’t feel awful like it would have a month or so ago. Sunblock + my little water bottle I carry = summer running is going great so far.
I am really grateful all of the white stuff on the ground here isn’t snow… really grateful.
After Brooke’s run she had a friend over and Brooke wanted apples and peanut butter after to refuel her workout.
After that they all had a very intense game of Settlers going on.
For lunch we had sweet potatoes with turkey burgers!
My version (plus I tried a balsamic vinaigrette on this combo and it was fantastic):
Andrew’s version:
Let’s continue to celebrate this amazing holiday:
TODAY I AM GIVING AWAY A NEW PAIR OF THE GLYCERIN 15s!!! I will write a full review of these after I get in 50-100 miles on them!
One lucky reader will win their very own pair of Glycerin 15s!
To enter:
**GO HERE and become an “Endorsed Athlete” for Brooks (it is super simple, it takes 1 minute to do and it is super awesome)!
**Leave me a comment telling me that you are now an Endorsed Athlete and you are entered into the giveaway!
GOOD LUCK!!!

Have you ever had the white sweet potatoes? I bought one the other day and didn’t know it was a white one. Cut it open and thought I had a regular potato. But it tasted just like a sweet one. They are apparently New Jersey Sweet Potatoes..?!?!?! It’s trippy haha.
I’m also now an endorsed athlete. Thanks for the giveaway!

I just got a new pair of the glycerin 14s last week only to see them drop the new ones this week! The color choices are amazing; I love that they have some black options! You were the blogger that got me to try out Brooks-and I don’t think I’m going back (at least not for running!).

I AM A BROOKS ENDORSED ATHLETE -my dream! I love Brooks and have been running happy since I laced up my first pair of running shoes in 2012 (second year of law school, woof -needed some stress relief). I have been running in the Glycerins ever since, so #fingerscrossed I can score this pair of shoes.
Love your blog and all the fun pics -you’ve inspired me and the fam to add Utah to our bucket list of places to visit (those Swig cookies…:)
