Seven miles @ 8:25 average.
A big snowstorm the night before resulted in some branches breaking off our trees and our power going off in the middle of the night. Because we are all hooked on white noise/fans, we all woke up when they turned off and hung out for a bit until the power turned on again. They are saying that the ski resorts are going to open early this year!
I don’t know how but Beck is two years old today.
These last two years with him have been the best. We all love him too much.
I swear this was yesterday!
I had no idea that a human could have as much energy as Beck. He wants all of us to be up and running around with him the second he wakes up. Today will be filled with airplanes, trucks, pizza, and covering every square inch of our bodies with dirt or snow.
I’m sure we will also do some yoga together today because that is his current hobby.
These are just a few important favorites to talk about.
*This dip from Costco will change your life. Please get it if you are a Costco member (or I will send it to you). I am so obsessed with pickle-flavored items and grab the kettle krinkle-cut Himalayan salt chips to go with it while you are there.
*I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved running in the Stance Crew Socks. I was sure that I would have a blister because they were my first time running in them (and I had 20 miles to do), but I was willing to make the sacrifice for my race costume. I need more pairs with different patterns now; they felt so good.
*I am so happy that this Black Friday sale has started early. The Gabb watches have been the absolute best for Brooke and Knox. They make it so we can quickly get ahold of them safely. I love that you can select who they can call/text and who can call/text them. In a few years, we will get them the Gabb phone, and when they are 18 and want to buy an iPhone, great;).
ALL DEVICES (phones and watches) are free (along with a free accessory) with a two-year contract–> Use the code HUNGRYRUNNERGIRL here. Enjoy being able to communicate with your kids when you need to without all of the craziness that can come with apps/the internet etc.
Skye steals Knox’s watch whenever he is gone.
*I have had this vest for a few years now and always get questions, so I thought I would include it today. The best vest ever.
Are you looking forward to something this weekend?
Who is running the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon tomorrow?
Do you experiment with different types of running socks or stick to a brand you love?
Have any November traditions?

I tried a bunch of different running socks because I was getting blisters really bad and Bombas were the first I came across that I didn’t get blisters. I’ve been wearing them for about year now. I’ll be giving them to my running sisters for Christmas. They don’t have blister problems but nice socks are always a good gift.
That light looks really good. I can’t use it to run because we have no side walks or road shoulders and I don’t think they would make it safe enough. But my driveway is a quarter mile long and they would be really good for walking the trash down to the street after dark and walking the dogs around are yard after dark. We have too many tree roots on our trails to go without a flashlight. Hands free will be so much better.
Have a great weekend! I hope Beck enjoys his pizza and yoga!
The Hungry Runner Girl
I am SO glad you found Bombas. They truly are amazing socks and that is such a great gift to give your running sisters. I hope the light works out for your driveway! Thanks Lee, happy weekend to you!
Marianne
I just bought the lights! I have been walking with the moon and the stars every morning and I keep saying I need a light. There was a coupon also!
The Hungry Runner Girl
A coupon too… YAY! I hope you love the light, let me know what you think. Have a great weekend, Marianne!

Did you make his cake?? It looks amazing either way!
I’m finishing my millionth bagel before we road trip to Indy this morning. It looks like we will have a tropical storm for the race. Time for an adventure!
The Hungry Runner Girl
I did make it! Thank you, Molly! MILLIONTH BAGEL! That’s what I like to hear:) I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU! Ummmm tropical storm?! WHAT????
Mollie
Happy birthday, Beck!! Really though, how is he two??
I love feetures socks, I’m pretty loyal. But I love the lulu ones too. But now I also love those animal print ones…and want them. 😆
Q, did you size up, down, true to size for the vest?? I love it….
I’m going to see a…friend…this weekend and am going to run where he lives because there are HILLS. I’m way too excited about that haha. Happy Friday!!!!!
The Hungry Runner Girl
HEY MOLLIE! Seriously, the two years went by so fast (although, his pregnancy did not ha;). True to size for the vest. I wear it so much this time of year and I hope you love it too. Go rock those hills!! Happy Friday to you too!
Emily
That dip and chip combo is AMAZING! Our three year old’s are hooked, too!
The Hungry Runner Girl
This makes me so happy! I was so surprised our kids liked it too. Off to Costco to buy more haha. Have a beautiful day, Emily!
Erin
Happy birthday Beck 🎂
I love bomba socks and they’re all I will wear!!
This November, we’re starting a new tradition I’m beyond excited about!!! We’re going to a Christmas tree farm event that is straight out of a halmark movie….hot chocolate, s’mores, arts and crafts, a family photo, food trucks and vendors, and picking out our Christmas tree!!
I hope Beck has the best time celebrating his birthday!!
The Hungry Runner Girl
Hey Erin! Bombas are the BEST. Ummmm I am going to need to see a picture of this Christmas tree farm event. That sounds amazing! Enjoy every second. Thank you and have a great weekend!
Mariah
Happy birthday Beck!!
I experiment with running socks- so far I’ve liked Stance, Feetures, Bombas, and Lululemon!
Excited to watch the NYC marathon this weekend! But also considering running a half that morning- I did one two weeks ago and this one is completely flat, so think I can do it!
The Hungry Runner Girl
Thank you, Mariah! So many great socks out there. I cannot wait to watch the marathon on TV. DO THE HALF! I am cheering so loud for you!
Beth
Awww, Beck is so cute, what a fun crew you have =)
We got our first snow of the season yesterday and it was so nice and pretty.
Stance are my favorite running socks ever they feel so good and are really cute. I just put some of those lights in my amazon cart, they will be great stocking stuffers for my family how are always out walking their dogs. They could even clip them on the dogs! Thanks for the suggestion.
We do a Thankful Turkey at November to help our little understand the concept. It’s cute and easy: https://busytoddler.com/teaching-toddlers-to-be-thankful/

Ok, I have to try that garlic spread! So you put it on the outside of the bread before making the grilled cheese? And definitely need to try that dip too! We also love those chips and usually have a bag in our pantry.
We have absolutely nothing planned for this weekend, and I am happy about that. So I will hopefully get caught up on yardwork. I am also really excited to watch the NYC marathon on Sunday morning. So many amazing people are running it this year. And it’s Steph Bruce’s final marathon.
Oooo, have so much fun with Beck today!!
Karen
Happy birthday to Beck!
Liz
Happy birthday to Beck!! What a cutie.
Speaking of fun lights, I’ve always liked the small lights you can attach to bike spokes. They really do make you more visible (mostly from the side), but more than that, they’re just fun. You can find them at REI, I think! Would make a great stocking stuffer, although if your kids don’t ride in twilight/dark at all, they might not be entirely worth the cost. They really don’t show up in daylight as much.
Corey
Happy, happy, happy birthday to Beck!! Have the best time celebrating that bundle of energy!
Amy S
Hi Janae! I gotta look at more socks now that it’s rainy! Wet feet chafe so much faster for me!
Happy birthday to Beck! Enjoy the weekend!
Amy
About the light. It looks amazing. But, you said you tried it. You didn’t say whether or not you liked it. I don’t run in the dark much, but when I do I use a headlamp. However, it does bounce and if it’s also raining and I’m wearing a hat with a brim, it makes things complicated.
The Hungry Runner Girl
Oh oops! I love it! It doesn’t bounce at all on me and I hate having a light on my head so it is the perfect solution! Love love love it.
Sarah
I love that vest!! I can’t afford that though so I’ll need to look for a dupe. Where is the cute Henley underneath from? Happy birthday beck!! I still think about your blog before you had kids and you nieces and nephews were just babies! Everyone is growing like crazy !
The Hungry Runner Girl
YES and if you find a dupe, send it to me! Here is the link to the henley and I hope you are having a great day! Thanks for being my internet friend for so long!
