I am glad you stopped by to read about my tangents and if you just scroll down straight to the giveaway without reading my post an alarm will go off on your computer and let’s just say it would be quite embarrassing. Try it, I dare you.
I started the morning off with some time on the elliptical. Yes, you read that right, the elliptical. My doc says that I am allowed to start incorporating yoga and the elliptical as long as it doesn’t hurt and if I don’t wake up the next morning feeling pain. I tried it yesterday for the first time and when my alarm clock went off this morning I was quite nervous to stand up…..I think I cried a little when the femur was feeling a-okay. Still a long time until I can even attempt to run but this is PROGRESS and dang, I am grateful.
Time for our little Tuesday tradition (traditions are what bond us together people whether you like it or not).
Kari from JOGGING WITH FICTION sent me this today and I opened it as I was drinking hot chocolate on a spring day……
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
———————————————————————————
Hopefully the MIL isn’t reading the blog today because she might hate me for posting this but tangent number 2 is that I can make a mean fish face (which is quite the talent when you have the cheeks that I do).
*****Before you pass judgment regarding the greasiness of my hair please remember this photo was taken at the end of a full day at Disneyland (splash mountain 10X’s, running around to get as many fast passes as possible and 4 churro’s worth of grease absorbed directly to my scalp).
———————————————————————————
It scares me how excited I got when I found one stray sour patch kid under my computer cord after I thought that I had already eaten all of the one’s I brought for my after lunch dessert. Double excitement points that it was a red one-my favorite.
It took a lot of will power to take the picture of it before I ate it.
———————————————————————————
Sporty Girl Jewelrysent me the most beautiful necklace in the world to help encourage and inspire me to get back out there running. Let’s just say I will be wearing it every day of my life!!! It is just my style: simple, SO CUTE and goes with anything. THANK YOU, it really is my favorite!
You have a chance for one too!! Winner will be able to choose a necklace from their website or get a twinner one like mine……it would be like our own Best Friend Forever necklace!

Random tangant about me…I don't see a problem with just eating candy and chocolate pancakes the entire day as long as there is protein, fat and duh there are carbs. Um…I may or maynot have done that a few days ago… No shame.

Random tangent: I adore my boyfriend because he knows a little about everything so I find myself asking a million questions. I'm like a 4 year old. And, I touch EVERYTHING. Example today, we were Geocaching in the woods and we saw a turtle up close. I asked if it would take off my hand, then once it was determined I was safe, I petted (is that a word?) its shell and insisted on holding him!!!

I am already a follower of you… I liked them Sporty Girl on facebook… also a tangent- I am in my third trimester with my second pregnancy, which I guess is somewhat like an injury for a runner such a I. So I feel your pain about the whole running thing… also thank the heavens above for the elliptical machine. I think I might die without it!

I am addicted to the Law and Order shows!! I spent the day watching them while "helping" a friend with his business. Helping meant sitting there and watching TV and giggling while he did work.

My tangent: if the only food left on the earth was fast food, I would not eat it and I would die. The thought of a hamburger from Micky D's or Burger King or something makes my stomach turn!! ahhhhh
Laura
Tangent: Your sour patch kid made my mouth water! I was just diagnosed with a stomach ulcer, so no more sour anything for me…along with most other delish foods :( But, that means I will be eating super healthy and get strong! Lol, or so I keep telling myself…
KatiPet
Tangent about me is that I always go and buy new clothes and then end up hating them when I go home and return them for something else…and the vicious cycle goes on and on! Clothing store mirrors do not tell the truth!
Olivia
hmmm…a tangent. i'm the only person i know who can wiggle my ears hahaha! i know that's weird but i can't think of a tangent that's not!
Shannon
Tangent: I have to have chapstick (burt's bees) with me at ALL TIMES or I basically have a panic attack. I got to work the other day an realized I didn't have any with me and flipped out. Thankfully a manager had some she let me carry around all night to ease my nerves.

Tangent…
I gave up candy for Lent. It was pretty miz, considering as a teacher, I have a jar of skittles that sit on my desk everyday. That was torture. On Easter morning, I woke up at 7 and ate an entire bag of sweedish fish. In bed.
No judgement, please.
Jogging with Fiction
Ah! I feel so famous! I'm glad you liked it :)

Tangent: I can touch my tongue to my nose. Anddd I'm pretty sure one of the reasons why I've never gotten into yoga is because I can go into a headstand anytime i want.

Ummmm…still loving your blog =)
Tangent: I could totally win an extreme sleeping competition. Yes, I can sleep pretty much anywhere through pretty much anything. Including fire alarms, college dance parties in my dorm room, and this weekend…piano tuners.

Missy
My tangent would be that my cheeks are three times the size of yours and we should have a contest.
Ruth
Tangent: I had hair down to my knees until I was 15. My biggest fear was that my brothers would cut it off while I was sleeping.

Tangent about myself… I recently recovered from a stress fracture in my knee. 4 months after I was given the clear to run again I ran a half marathon. I ended up with hip pain. Now I have Chronic Hip Tendonitis. My goal is still to run a Marathon one day (possibly & hopefully Boston for a charity) – [email protected]

Holly
Tangent about me: I always have to have my nails painted- toe nails & finger nails. No chips allowed. If I see a chip in my nail polish, I start to pick at it until it all comes off. Bad habit.

Nicole @ Of Cookies and Carrots
Tangent: I have my belly button pierced. A lot of people say I'm almost completely NOT the stereotype of the girl with her belly button pierced, but that's sort of why I did it, it's fun to see their reactions ;) it was also kind of a 'body acceptance' thing because i wanted to be able to own it and just wear it without being self-conscious about my stomach… still working on that part, but when there's something shiny in your stomach you can't really hide it :-P
i also make a mean fish face ;)
A.C.
I'm a new reader and love your blog! My tangent is that I'm obsessed with peanut butter. I find a way to have some every single day even if it's just straight out of the jar.

Jamie
Tangent: I ran 16 miles on Saturday and burnt my face, neck and tops of my hands (I was wearing a long sleeve shirt). I had a headband on covering part of my forehead and so for the past three days a nice white stripe amongst all the red. Today after my workout and wiping the sweat off my face, my face is now peeling, like leprosy peeling.
Oh, and I would love this necklace! I have a charm I earned from the pink series half marathon last fall that I would like to add to it!

Today I was supposed to run 10 miles. The 19 mph winds forced me to stay home and eat pizza instead. And ice cream. The wind also forced me to take a nap instead of folding the pile of clothes on my bed. I hate folding clothes almost as much as ironing. Speaking of, the other day I found an earring I had been missing at the bottom of the 'need to be ironed' basket. It had been lost for over a year. Did I mention that I don't like ironing? My 5 year old just told me she likes salami.

Donna Porter
Tangent, huh. Only one? Wow, that's the hard part. I could seriously tell you my life story and even make some parts really juicy and some will make you want to prop your feet up with a bowl of popcorn covered in M&M's. But, if I had to tell you one thing and only one thing….I would tell you that I'm the oldest of 8 children and one of only three to finish high school. My father dropped out when he was 13, his parents were killed in a car accident and he became the "bread winner" of the family. My mother dropped out in the 11th grade. I always wanted to finish and did, despite all the odds. I am finally in college and will graduate with a degree in Dietitics (just don't tell my professors that I do have a stash of gummies and enjoy chocolate covered anything..hmm..chocolate covered broccoli even sounds appealing at times). I will be the first in my family to graduate college and part of me is going JUST because I want to be the first. I could go on…but I'm hoping there isn't a word limit, LOL

A tangent about me? I have to chew on both the left and right side of my mouth but not at the same time. For instance, my fist bite of cereal I'll chew on the left and the second I'll chew n the right and repeat the pattern. My sister says I'm OCD. Maybe she's right. :)
Courtney
Tangent: When I was in high school I accidentally ran 27 miles when I had just set out to run 15 because I got lost and thought I knew a short cut that didn't turn out to be so short. Wish I could "accidentally" do that now!

I did my TTT on my blog today! But I guess another one for the sake of a giveaway entry is always do-able.
I had braces for two years from 5th grade to 7th grade. I got mine off before most people got theirs on, and I felt so cool. I now know that I am not cool, because 13+ years later I still wear my retainers. My dentist loves it, but my husband does not.
