Just another slick morning… It’s going to feel so freeing to run the streets of Boston without ice everywhere on race day.

10 miles @ 8:42 average.

 Just the usual Monday for us…

So, let’s move into some tangents…

*Hear me out on this one… My Friday last week was rough for many reasons, so I went for a diet dr pepper after quitting it at the end of December. The next day, I had one of my best runs and felt like a new human… what does this mean? Is soda something I actually need in my life?

I quit leading up to Big Bear last year too and the soda I had after I finished tasted so heavenly. PS soda is huge in Utah. There is a soda shop on every corner, it feels like.

*You know our favorite chicken cream cheese chicken chili? I made a mistake and accidentally added fire-roasted tomatoes to the recipe (along with everything else in the recipe, plus an extra can of tomato soup), and it was delicious. Andrew and I agreed that we will only make the soup with this new addition from here on out because it is so good.

*Brooke’s reaction when I pulled my chic-fil-a sauce out of my pocket while eating fries at a non-chic-fil-a restaurant.

*Brooke and I were watching the Mr. Beast episode where he pays 1k per mile to the person that can stay on the treadmill the longest, either walking or running. It made me think how far I could go on one, knowing I would get paid per mile… as long as I had the proper nutrition, I would keep going until I fell off, ha. Any guesses on how far you could make it?

How far could you make it on a treadmill walking/running if you were paid 1k per mile?

My new theory on soda? Sound ridiculous, or maybe I have a new performance enhancer situation with diet dr pepper;).

Have a quote you love lately? Or a new account that is inspiring you?

Tell me a tangent!

(shoes, shorts, top (similar but only available in XS now, it has a built-in balaclava), bra (I am hooked on this bra lately)) We like having our runs planned months in advance, but this winter has surely made us flexible. We just hit a new record for the most snow recorded in Utah! I woke … Continue Reading

(Shorts, top, shoes, socks, jacket) No, this is not a picture from January… this is yesterday. Yep. PLEASE MELT FAST! Moments before his Thomas Train was stuck in my hair and I had to cut a chunk off to get it out. Couldn’t get into our kitchen so chic-fil-a saved lunch. It was all around … Continue Reading

(Shorts, shoes, bra) Ten miles @ 8:37 average with the crew. My calves were quite sore from the track, but other than that, I felt great.  Also, it only snowed for half of the run, so that’s an improvement… Did you know this story? Let’s get into some favorites! *These. Socks. Feetures sent me them, … Continue Reading

(shoes, shorts, bra, shirt, rain jacket) Lauren and I were matching! 20 x 400s. I think this was my 6th or 7th time doing this workout, but we switched it up a little, making it harder than normal. We usually do this workout with equal standing recoveries (i.e., if the 400 takes 90 seconds to … Continue Reading

(shoes, shorts, top, headband) 11.04 miles with friends very early in the morning. I still love cottage cheese with grapes very much. We are trying so hard to make it be summer here. She had a busy day. I carbloaded on potatoes for a workout today. And we have some changes happening over here (that … Continue Reading

(shirt, shorts, shoes, socks) THANKFULLY it was a rainy morning, and we didn’t wake up to more snow. I hope it just keeps raining this week instead of snowing because we have 20 x 400s coming up, and I do not want to do that on a treadmill. We are finally taking care of the … Continue Reading
