How much you can get done when 1/12 of your day isn’t spent running.
1-You get to meet your mom after school at Costco and she may or may not enable your produce addiction and fiber overload by restocking your goods. Oh and with all this free time gelato is mandatory to enjoy together as you talk about her UPCOMING BDAY!!! (It is my lovely mama’s bday week….feel free to wish her happy bday week in the comments).
(Hey Billy, would you mind photoshopping the acne out of this picture and also if you could take out some of the greasy bangs and replace them with clean ones that would be great, k thanks)
2-Hang out with your best friend since you were five years old’s beautiful daughters. Okay, technically she was my older sister’s best friend but I followed them everywhere they went. They were my idols….I dressed like them, talked like them and thought I was their same age even though I am 7 years younger. Maybe that is why I am so mature for my age;)
3-You can have plenty of time to use delicious veggies a la madre to stir fry them (in water and olive oil) and take your time eating 435 grams of fiber along with some egg whites, a gogurt, banana and an apple.
4-Catch up on your latest running magazines while icing your quads in your hot polka dot pajama pants.
5-Last but not least, you will have time to obey your mother’s orders by eating the cupcake she gave you because coconut frosting is necessary for leg healing.
R-Rest

C-Cupcakes

Check out my guest post at the cutest HEALTHY CHOCOHOIC’S blog!!! You will LOVE her blog!

Did you try to be just like your older siblings? Or were you the older sibling that was idolized by your younger siblings?
-I am the youngest and I am pretty sure I copied EVERYTHING that my older sister did. Including not liking peanut butter until I actually tried it and realized my sister was very wrong in hating the best thing ever created. Shame on her.
Do you like Gelato? What is your favorite flavor of gelato?
-I love cookies and creme gelato!
Favorite magazine lately?!?!
-Running Times RULES…..thanks PAM:)
If you had to choose between Apple’s or Banana’s for the rest of your life….WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
-Apples…..nothing like crunching into a Pink Lady brand apple.

I love gelato… Any flavor!
Love the stupid Real Simple mag- I must be getting OLD!!
Apples. Fo'Sho' Bananas make me vom a little in my mouth. Happy B-Day to your adorable MOM!
Mamarunsbarefoot
You crack me up with Costco!!! You're always there.. hahaha!!!
Glad you are resting up! I would prb choose bananas my calves need the potassium. Magazines? DEf running ones. I do have an older sister and yes when I was a kid tried to be like her. Didn't we all?
Have a great day Janae!!
middleagedrunner
Snap, I'm the first commenter! AWESOME! Hope the quad feels better BTW..
Sara
I wish we had Costco… it looks so much fun!
I am an only child, so never had anybody to try to be like!
Favorite magazine is Food Network Magazine, good stuff.
Apples or bananas? I love apples but they give me belly aches when I run. (too much fiber) So if it's before a run, I love bananas, but if it's at night after a run, apples are my fav because they are delicious with peanut butter.
trisha*n
definitely apples. I average about 3 a day. No joke. Feel free to apologize to my wallet.
Melissa
I'm the oldest, only by 19 months. In elementary school my sis and I were tight, but come middle/high school we wanted nothing to do with each other! But in college we grew up and became very close.
I'd have to choose banana since they are a vital part of my smoothies. And how could I give up PB&banana sandwiches?!
Happy Birthday HRG Momma!!!!!
Elisha
R.I.C.E where the C = cupcakes. That's great!
I love gelato. There is a place by my house that serves Strawberry Mascarpone (basically like strawberry cheesecake). It is a-maze-ing!
I would definately chose bananas over apples. I eat a banana every day.
Korin Lopez
I always wanted to be just like my older sister. I thought she and her friends were the most awesome people in the world! I still think my sister is! I love honey crisp apples! They are just delicious! Good thing for yummy cupcakes to help you feel better!!!
Laura (LunaChickRuns)
I am the oldest in my fam, but I idolized my older cousin just like she was my sister.
I love all gelato!
Bananas=love!
Jogging with Fiction
I would definitely choose bananas. I eat a lot of both, but without bananas there would be no banana bread and no banana bread is like no sunshine…wow, I'm a loser.
I didn't really idolize my sister or her friends. I think we're too similar as it is, so it'd be a little narsasistic. It's funny, though, at my wedding my brother was dancing with my childhood best friend and he said, "I've been dreaming about this my whole life!" Apparently no one knew he had a giant crush on her. Cracks me up.
I want time off to go buy veggies in bulk with my mom!
Katie @ Healthy Heddleston
I know your love of Costco and just saw a thing on the news that Costco's out west are starting to offer wedding dresses — does yours!?!?
Diet Coke and a Lemon
That cupcake is adorable!!
I really like Health magazine. It keeps me entertained.
Emily @ eat.drink.run.
LOVE gelatto – favorite flavors are coconut and pistachio. And I really want that coconut cupcake you had!! :)
I have a subscription to Runner's World and love that. Haven't read Running Times, but I'll check it out!
I eat at least one banana and one apple a day – so that's a tough choice! As a stand alone snack, I'd pick apples, but to have in things (like cereal, smoothies and sandwiches) I love bananas!
Tara
My brother is 3 years younger than me which was PERFECT growing up. We never had the same friends but were close enough that could hang out with each others friends when they were around. I even met my boyfriend through my brother (almost 1 year ago!!!!!).
Health and Runners World are my 2 faves right now!!
I'd probably choose apples but I dooo love bananas!!
Holly
Haha- YES I did the same thing with my oldest sister- she is 10 years older than me & was pretty much my idol! I would try to be JUST like her. & When I wouldn't listen to my parents, they would just tell her to tell me to do whatever they wanted me to do & I would do it! Haha! What a rotten little kid I was ;)
BigHappyFamily
Apples.
Hope you are on the mend.
Pam
My brother is 5 years older than me, and we are complete opposites. I couldn't have been like him if I tried. I can't even believe we came from the same family!
I have to pick bananas. I'm too picky about apples… the texture has to be just right.
Linz
Happy Birthday Hungry Runner Girl Momma!
Self and Real Simple are my current fave magazines.
I would def have to choose bananas. They are amazing alone, combined with some PB and jazz up a smoothie like no other.
Dorry
I'm the youngest of 3 girls, so I definitely spent some time trying to be like them when we were kids. It's funny to watch my nieces do the same thing now! I could never pick between apples and bananas – please don't make me. :) Glad you're resting and taking care of yourself!
Stephanie
Happy Birthday HRG Mom! Hope your week is fabulous!
I am the oldest, its not a bad place to be, but I will say I got the hardest and strictest from my parents, the babies have NO idea how easy they had it!
Apples All.the.way. Pink Ladies are the absolute best, couldn't agree with you more- honeycrisp gives them a run for their money, sooo crispy, I LOVE IT!
Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn
I like to eat eat eat eeples and baneenies! Don't make me choose:)
Slash I am the oldest sibling so I was the one being followed! Haha
Samantha
Happy Birthday week for mom!!! :D I love birthday's. This is my dad's birthday week right now. His birthday was yesterday. I hate my acne! I was always told once you grow up it goes away, but it hasn't!! Lies!
I'm pretty sure I would choose apples because they taste sooo good in peanut butter!
Jessica Joy Daly
Janae can I just say how incredibly gorgeous you are?!? I mean, seriously.
Hmm… I wish I could say I tried to be like my older brother, but I guess I didn't. I am the oldest girl in the family, so I do feel like my younger siblings look up to me.
When I lived in Australia I ate gelato MAYBE 3 or 4 times a week. Seriously. Can't get enough of that stuff. My favorite was hazelnut mixed with chocolate.
Haven't read a magazine in a while… I gotta get on that.
Sorry, no competition between the apple and banana in my book. Apple wins… every day.
Elle
I'm in the middle, I have an older brother and sister and then 3 younger sisters. I loved following my older sibs, especially my brother. Plus as I got older his friends became cuter ;)
My favorite gelato is simple vanilla bean. If you have really good gelato it is amazing.
I adore pink lady apples!! Especially with almond nut butter sometimes :)
Happy Birthday Janae's Mom :)
Rachelle Wardle
I totally idolized my older siblings. I would follow my sister and her friends around everywhere. She always complained about me. he he
I absolutely LOVE costco and gelato. Yummy!
And I too would pick apples for sure. I don't think I could live without apples.
Big Daddy Diesel
– I am the oldest, so I guess that means they all idolize me!!!
– Whats gelato? Dont laugh (too hard or loud), I seriously dont know what it is
– Magazine: Triathlete, real surprise
– Banana, easier to stuff in a bike jersey
pajamachef
pink lady apples are the best!!!!
evamadera
I'm older but my sister quickly grew out of copying me (she's way more social than I am) and soon I was known as "Laura's sister" even though I'm 3 years older than she is. Fun times.
So…I totally want to go to your Costco. It always seems to have samples, and good ones at that. Mine, not so much.
Liz
Get outta town – cookies n cream gelato?! I need to have that.
I like your version of RICE :)
Stephanie @ The Cookie Battle
Bananas hands down! Not even a question. I live on bananas, I eat one almost every day.
My favorite health magazine right now is definitely Women's Health, I feel like they have such great content and there's so much info packed in there. Love.
Amanda@runninghood
I recently discovered Running times in my chiro's office and LOVE it! So much more solid and helpful running articles for taking my running to a new level. runner's world is great too but just seems to recycle a lot of the same topics and not a ton for the more elite side to running….not that I'm an elite runner ha! but I enjoy the material in there.
Runners Fuel
I wanted to be like my brothers (even though they're about 14-17 years older). I cut my hair like them (they had long hair) and wore their clothes. I look back and wonder what I was doing!
Jody, RD
I am the middle child but I was too cool for school and was embarrassed by my dorky older brother. Oh my how things have changed!
I love my Food Network magazine.
I love apples. I'm not a huge banana fan, unless it is in bread ;)
Natalia - a side of simple
Oh my goodness, gelato! Last year when I was in Italy for a week I had gelato at LEAST once a day. It was SO amazing. Let's live like Lizzie McGuire and go to Rome. Please?
Lindsey @Textbooks and Cookbooks
I love gelato and my fave flav is chocolate…especially if it's the fudgy chocolate kind! I also really like mango.
My fave magazine lately is Women's Health!
If I had to choose between Apple's or Banana's for the rest of my life? Hm…I'm going to have to go with bananas! I love love LOVE apples, but I like too many things that require bananas to make (e.g., banana bread, PB+banana smoothies, etc.).
Laura
Right now I'm loving "Women's Running". It's hard to find in the stores here but it's worth the work! I usually learn a lot from it.
Lindsay and James Cotter
I love all those magazines. Such a good read! Okay, this kinda embarassing but when I was younger, I used to wear my brothers clothes. I wanted to be cool and all hip hop like him. haha! what was I thinking???

And we LOVED having you over! I am flattered that you would consider me your "best friend"! I have always loved you my cute Janae! LOL
Coy Martinez
bananas all the way!! Wow, that ice cream look good!!
Kate
I love Running Times. It's my running bible. Cover to cover.
Jeez louise, that cupcake looks amazing!
Jen
Glad to see that you are taking care of yourself! Thatcupcke looks divine! And apples all the way. I have to force myself to eat bananas because I know they're good for me!
SupermomE12
I am the oldest and my siblings are nothing like me at all! :)
Glad you are having a good week and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your mom! It is my birthday next week. Yay! :)
Oh, and i am a huge Running Times fan too. Love it!
Victoria Elizabeth
Oh man that cupcake looks so yummy!!!
I would definitely choose apples! There are so many different types that you could never get sick of them!!!
Stefanie
I just subscribed to Runner's World–so hopefully that becomes my fave magazine! But I also love Women's Health and Self!
That cupcake looks amazing!
Brandy
Girrrrrrrrrl I'll be surprised if no one's recommended this to you before, but you gotta get some DRY SHAMPOO! I SWEAR by it. I am anti-washing-my-hair too. But get dry shampoo… you'll love it. Feels like you're spraying hair spray in your hair, except it evaporates right away and just sucks up all the oil in your hair and makes it new and pretty again… without the lameness of having to shower :-P I just got it at the regular drugstore! you're welcome in advance ;-)
Christine
I think a RICE shirt with cupcakes taking the place of circulation needs to be made!
Gelato is great- when we went to Italy I ate it twice a day!
Joanna
I love my older brother and followed him everywhere. In high school it became a problem because his friends were cute :X
Gelato is delish! I love anything cookies and cream so I'll vote for that too!
If I had to choose, I'd choose bananas…. I love banana bread and bananas foster…. YUM!!
Emily
When I went to Italy during high school our class had a gelato eating contest to see who would eat the most bowls of it throughout the 10 days. I obviously won. I think my peak was 16 scoops in one day.
Holly
just learned running times is better than Runner's World. I don't have any siblings and I have never had Gelato (I know!)
I would choose bananas, so many more things you could do with them!
Jess @ Blonde Ponytail
Aw, beautiful pics–I smile when I look at your smile!! Contagous!
I have yet to try gelato–whats wrong with me?! Keep RICE-ing; mother's orders! And, coconut icing reduces inflammation–it's proven ;)
Apples fo' sho'!
Chunky Monkey
Apples!! And Pink Lady's are my most FAV! Especially when I can go to Carter Mountain and pick them right off the tree. Yummy!
Mallory
Glad you are resting! Smart choice!!! I have 5 younger siblings so I have been copied and followed around. It's cute though but I do remember being annoyed when I was about 14.
My favorite magazine is Runner's World! I read it cover to cover multiple times!!
I would absolutely pick apples. Yum!
hungry-dancer.com
Costco is my paradise….I wish I was kidding! I just got my Women's Health in the mail and can't wait to read it!!! It's my fav maggy!
Meg
I used to follow my brother around like a lost puppy. Because of that, I have very few memories of doing girly things as a kid but I have many many memories of playing GI Joes, Teenage Mutent Ninja Turtles, making mud tracks for our remote controlled cars, etc. He's still one of my best friends, even though I probably have more in common with his wife (who I also love).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEK to your mama!!!
also, your revised version of RICE made me laugh out loud. that's definitely the preferred version!
mm
I would definitely choose apples – and Pink Lady is my favorite kind – although I'm liking the Jazz apples lately too.
And Happy Birthday to your mom!!
Katy
I would so choose bananas. I love them!!!! Your friends children are ADORABLE!!!!!! Happy birthday week to Mama HRG!!!!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey
Don't make me choose apples or bananas!!! I think I would say apples then. Even though I love banana in my oats, I could put other things like sweet potatoes and pumpkin instead!
ShortSkirts
bananas i can't live without them, but i would totally go through applesauce withdrawl…
runyogarepeat
RICE should include cupcakes, especially those yummy coconut ones.
I'm the older sister, but one of my sisters is only 20 months younger, so we always hung out together and had the same friends. It was awesome, most of the time.
In the, I love fresh, honeycrisp apples, but otherwise, I would choose bananas.
dana
I have to go with apples of the granny smith origin.
XLMIC
That cupcake is bound to make you feel better! YUM.
I love gelato… especially in Italy :)
movesnmunchies
omg you did not just ask that question.. i cannot decide between apple or bananas.. apples rock but a good old ripe banana cannot be beaten.. its just a fact.
fitchocoholic
Whohoo! I LOVED your guest post! :D
Anyway, sounds like a super fun day!! And I can't choose between bananas and apples! hahaha
Briana
That coconut cupcake is making me drool. Wow. When I come back to Utah, I am going there. Immediately.
Your leg recovery plan sounds perfect. Keep it up! Boston is right around the corner!
Thanks for your comment on my blog… send me happy pregnancy thoughts. :-)
Kate (What Kate is Cooking)
Nothing beats Nutella gelato… nothing!
Stephanie
I'm the oldest. They all copied me. They all used the same spanish name as I did when they ALL took it in high school…and two of them joined dance team after I did. :)
Banana…all the way. I actually gag at thinking about apples sometimes.
That coconut cupcake looks like HEAVEN.
Happy birthday week Janae's mom!
solarpowered
Happy Birthday week to your mom :)
I am loving empire apples these days…
Amy
I love your explanation of RICE – must try that next time I need to recover :)
Gelato deserves it's own food group I firmly believe. When I was in Italy last year we made a point of sacrificing ourselves and trying as many different flavours as we could. I think my favourite would have to be pistachio.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away, it's worked for me for the last 24 years!
Nicole
apples!!!! :)
MegSmith @ Cooking.In.College
That cupcake looks aaaaahhhmazing!!!!
Jessica
I love how much time you spend at Costco lol… I hope I get to go there this weekend!
I was the oldest sister. I hope your sister had more patience with you than I did with my younger sisters :)
I love gelato but I don't get to have it very often!
I would definitely choose apples… honeycrisp apples, mmmm. I eat bananas but could do without them.
Caroline
I am the oldest just by 16 mos though.
Gelato: too sweet, I like sherbet better.
What is the mag in the middle? woman??
Mag for me now: Runner's world and entertainment weekly!
runningonwords
My favorite gelato is either mint chip or tiramisu.
Bananas. Mostly cause I'm allergic to apples. I do eat a banana almost every day though for the potassium.
My favorite magazine is Runner's World. The one issue of Running Times I bought did not impress me and it is really hard to find here, so I haven't been able to find out if it was an off month.
Marlo
Banans for me! Just LOVE nana everything!
Fav magazine.. huh.. no idea.. i dont really read to many anymore. I use to buy Oxygen every month without fail.. Now i dont care so much.
I have an older sister. but i never copied her.. i did like hanging with her friends tho!
