Friday Favorites!

(shirt, shorts, sunglasses)

A walk instead of a run for my Thursday morning. I’m off to do a long run that intimidates me this morning… Here goes nothing!

Andrew and I went to find the rest of the outfits we needed for family pictures, and then we hit up the mall food court to celebrate being done thinking about what each person should wear. I’m crossing my fingers and toes that Skye will okay the skirt that I bought her;)

I could eat Greek food each day of my life.

And then it was a soccer night! My cute mom and Beck:

Beck loves the sidelines with his people.

They ended up having a delay due to lightning, and once they came back from the break, they were extra hungry, and won 2-0!

Excited to try these out today:

Let’s go for some favorites!

*This regenerating mask has my heart. I use it on Sundays because it feels special and makes my hair feel more alive than ever. I also use this leave-in conditioner mist every time that I wash my hair. Code JANAECR20 for 20% off everything at Christophe Robin! Don’t mind the lid still being wet from my shower;)

*Outdoor Voices sent me this set, and if you are looking for more of a lightweight set that is extremely soft, this is the one for you–> top and bottoms.

*Have you tried these ones? I love trű frű, and the banana ones are another winner.

*Madewell Insiders, this is a GOOD one! Get 25% off EVERYTHING. Just sign in to your Insider account and shop away. You can sign up for free to be an Insider HERE, and you’ll get the discount too. They sent me this sweater, this purse, these flats, these boots, and the barrel jeans I have LOVED for eternity. Other items I am obsessed with–> here, here, here, here, here, and here. I got this dress for me and this one for Brooke and our upcoming family pictures.

*Baublebar fans–> I am obsessed with this turquoise necklace (that reminds me so much of my grandma, Mer; she adored turquoise), and this ring.

*My beloved Dermal Micropoints are on sale right now! I traded in my microneedling at a med spa for this stuff and haven’t looked back. I am positive it works even better for me and you can FEEL it working.

    That playground in the background of your soccer field photo looks so cool, the slide!

    I love tru fru, especially rasberry.

    I am feeling better so I have 9 miles tomorrow (peak week before my 10 Miler Race) then heading to the mountains with my sister in law for the weekend.

    I love walks. Active recovery and get to enjoy listening to a podcast.

    Enjoy your weekend and I hope the pics go well.

    We are flying to SLC tonight. I am meeting up with a “friend” that is training for the same event as I am. I am starting to get anxious for my race on October 3 mainly because of the weather. If it rains, the trail could be slippery.
    I love going for a walk. I am going to take our dog for a walk this morning before doing yoga.
    I hope you had a great run.

    I LOVE walks- by myself, with my husband and son, with our dog, any walk is a good walk. Friday night plans are super low-key after a very busy weekend last week- after school ice cream to celebrate the weekend, then takeout, and probably reruns of The Office or Bob’s Burgers on the couch. Skye reminds me a little of myself as a kid- I was easygoing about everything except my hair and clothes. I never wanted to wear dresses, always wanted my hair up, and I would veto items of clothing for random reasons. Happy Friday, Janae!

    Love walks! I used to try to get a 2 to 4 mile walk in daily, even when I had run earlier that day. Now I walk maybe between 1 to 2 miles with the dog–but because he’s always sniffing or reacting to dogs, squirrels and rabbits, I don’t do longer walks, it would take longer. Can’t wait until he calms down more LOL.

    Happy Friday, Janae! I can’t see Greek food without remembering the best Greek food ever in Mykonos!

    Pizza and an early bedtime for us tonight. Les is riding a century tomorrow and is meeting his friends at 5:30. (Runners aren’t the only crazies who get up early to do hard things!)

    Our weather is still hot and gross, so if I head out for a run and I’m just not feeling it, I’ll switch to a walk. I’m not training for a race, just training for life so I enjoy a good walk!

    I am doing my long run today too. And my last long run wasn’t great, so I also am a little nervous. But that’s why we train, right?
    No plans tonight, but fly out to Denver in the morning. Yay.
    Can’t wait to see the family pictures.
    Have a great day Janae

    Ah! I’m so glad you shared that! I have a half marathon race with a total of 20 miles tomorrow.
    Can’t wait to hear how your workout goes!
    Are family photos this weekend? If so, hope it goes great!!
    I love taking walks-in Europe!

    I may be the only person who hasn’t tried tru fru!

    Beck really does live the life:).

    Tonight I’m going to my boyfriends house. I think we might shoot bow and arrow. My dad is huge into hunting and bought me a long bow a couple years ago, but I rarely use it–hard to do in a townhouse community;) My guy kind of doesn’t believe me that I can shoot it…I told him I can, just not well, haha.

    Have a fabulous weekend, Janae!

    Lovely photos! I am not, nor have I ever been a runner, but I love long walks in nature! Such a great post! Thank you so much for sharing! Warm greetings from a retired lady living in Montreal, Canada.
