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.

I already liked Sporty Girl Jewelry on Facebook but just started following their blog through you. I'm LOVING the info/tidbits/tangents people have already left! @Julia who works/schools on different days and only needs three outfits? Brilliant! @Jennifer – the strings on the banana? OMG me too. Fact about me pertaining to running – I was a NON-athlete who wore a back-brace throughout high school, got pneumonia 2-3x year throughout grade school and then ran my FIRST marathon at 31 for the American Stroke Association. Since then running is my life – all my good friends, good reading materials, fashion – have some connection to my love of sweat and accomplishment. LOVE it. In 2006, I ran the marathon in Greece from Marathon to Athens – SO amazing!

My Tangent.. My lips are ALWAYS chapped they look like a road.. All choppy and in need of gloss..
drkgood
Tangent about myself: I used to eat all of my food with chopsticks. Just for fun.
Courtney
My tangent: I have a really bad habit of picking at my face when I'm nervous. It's awful! Sort of like biting your nails but it makes me look a whole lot worse (and at 33 I don't need to be walking around looking like I have tons of acne!).
mabel
tangent – i am new to posting and really hope i am doing this correctly. plus it'd be awesome to win – love this jewelry
Korin Lopez
My tagent is someone getting after my children. I do not like other people correcting my children. Today at the gym I was working out and my kids were playing on the ropes. A man walked by and I thought he told my kids to calm down. I immediately felt myself square my shoulders and put down my weights as my blood started to boil….he was talking to his soldiers not my children. Lucky for him!!
Lucy
Sometimes on a gorgeous day {such as today} I'll be so distracted by the vibrant colors and radiant sun that I'll forget where I'm walking and maybe stop in the middle of a street and maybe almost get hit by a car. Oy vey. At least I got a lifetimes worth of Vitamin D.
fitfeastingfriends
Here is my tangent:
My friend Jenn and I may sort of kind of be obsessed with your blog because we love food and running too…so we were inspired to start our own blog and adopted your practice of Triple Tangent Tuesday that you can read here: http://fitfeastingfriends.wordpress.com/

I have just turned 33 years old, and today I received temporary membership cards from AARP. Bahahahahah!!

oh my gosh! that necklace reminds me of the run like a girl necklace I got when I ran the Nike Women's half marathon in San Francisco in 09. It was such an inspiring race! tangent…I can't stop thinking about greek yogurt with sliced strawberries, blueberries and loads of honey. The most delicious dessert ever. I eat it almost every night and sometimes for breakfast because technically it is healthy!

Tangent: If I leave the house without jewelry I feel naked!
Christina @ The Athletarian
1) Tangent: So I am supply teaching at the moment and go to different schools every day. I walked into a new school today and arrived to my designated classroom. I walked in and saw a computer on the teacher's desk. The first thing that came to mind was "Yesssss! I get to stalk hungryrunnergirl.com for three periods!" Is that weird? Completely ignored the poor children. I am tempted to run a race in Utah just so I can meet you and Billy and the rest of your family. Then I would come to one of your family parties and be non-vegan for an entire day and eat all sorts of candy, ice cream, frozen yogurt, and chocolate.

Love your new necklace!

Momma K and her Krew
Tangent- I once danced with Prince on stage at a concert. I was, however, in prekid days AND dressed like a straight hoochie momma. But still, I cling to it.
Jess @ Blonde Ponytail
I like them on FB already–they have fantastic materials!!
Lucy
My tangent… I too love sour patch kids but I haven't had any in a little over a year. Crazy right?!
~K~
Tangent – the Easter goodies are NOT good for me! I upped my workout from about 6 miles to 10 today to try to make up for all the Cadbury eggs from the past couple days…and then to reward myself I finished off the Cadburies, a Reese's big egg, all the lil Reese's i could find AND some mini 3 Musketeers! Aack! Somebody take the kids' candy away from me!!!
Momma K and her Krew

Zaneta
a tangent about me… I was feeling lazy and tired today so i posted a wordless wednesday post on a tuesday lol ;)
also, I had ice cream AND cake today after my 2 mile run and justified it because I only had ice cream yesterday after my 8 mile run and no cake ;)
Sabrina
Tangent: I wash my hair about as infrequently as you do and am considering giving up washing it regularly at all. Don't worry, it's not as gross as it sounds – first you have to "detox" it and get it back to its normal state and then you really only need to wash it every two weeks. My hubs is not a huge fan of the idea, but at least my head won't look so greasy all the time!
Beth
Tangent: I got on the elliptical this morning for the first time after my injury. I cannot wait to start running again!
Beth
I became a follower of SGJ. So many cute designs. I may just have to buy myself something!

I'm so glad you are able to start doing elliptical and yoga! That is wonderful news, sweet friend! I love sour patch kids. The orange ones are my favorite.
Cute necklace! I've actually been searching for a new everyday necklace – something simple I can wear all thew time. I had one I loved, but I lost it somehow about a year ago. I miss it!
Erin Masi
My tangent-I am deathly afraid of birds. Any and all! Eeek!
Dorry
I just left you the longest comment and I don't think it showed up! So glad you are back with elliptical and yoga – great news!

Annette@(running)In the Right Direction

Tangent…my life is a tangent. I start one activity and am paused by a poopy diaper or a child biting the other child. I also get on the treadmill in the morning and am woken up by a child that is suppose to sleep for another 2 hours. My life is a complete tangent. Nothing is to plan! Oh and I love sour patch kids…reds are my fav too! I love that you eat something sweet after your meals bc I can't not have something sweet. I swear I don't stop eating throughout the day…that's why I run :)
Nicole
Tangent – I'm allergic to tree and grass pollen and for the past two years in the spring and fall my face swells up and i break out in hives on every run! My allergy medicine is double the strength!

I am in LOVE with the "I'm not afraid" bracelet. Win or not, I'm totally ordering it! Fingers crossed for winning though. My father has heart disease, and has since he was 48 years old. We almost lost him two months ago to a massive heart attack. His struggles have helped me realize what's important in my life and to know that I'm not afraid to take on anything!!!
Donna
buggaboosmommy(at)yahoo(dot)com….for some reason my google doesn't work here. NO clue why..probably operator error! :)

I would love to have found a red sour patch kids candy…and I would have SUPER loved to have found a red and a yellow. Those two, eaten at the same time, are amazing.

Hmm a tangent about me? Ok, ever since I lost my weight I tend to freak out about carbs. I know I know…the good kind are GOOD for you. Besides they are my favorite EVER!!! But every single time I eat carbs a couple days in a row whether good or bad kind I see it on the scale – UGH! I bugs me that I don't know why that is? I am SUPPOSED to be eating them. I don't wanna live totally carb free so any insite would be welcomed :) :)

My tangent is: some days, I want to punch annoying people at the gym in the face. Case in point, yesterday there was a group of 19-20 yr old guys, who decided they ran the place and kept stealing the bench all of my stuff was on and around when I'd go to fill up on water or get a new weight. Gym courtesy is huge to me. Just ask first. K Thanks.

Caryn
I liked them on FB and am now following them, and your blog is hilarious! My tangent is this: I have to pee like a half dozen times before I go to the gym or run. Once I get going, I'm good, but those minutes leading up to it are a bit of pain!
I'm digging the 13.1 necklace. I did my first last month (with a pee stop during the FIRST MILE!) and am mighty proud!
Adrianna
i'm on vacation this week! love. it.

Michelle
My tangent is that I had a crazy realization this morning that I am the best version of myself when I exercise first thing. It had been a loooong time since I'd hauled myself out of bed for a morning workout and as I got my bend on at yogalates I just felt so RIGHT.

Awesome necklace!
My tangent: My sleep schedule completely changed after I got married. Now I stay up with my husband until all hours of the night, but if he's not around, I immediately revert to my morning person ways.

I am new to the running blog world..and let me tell you it has been an experience reading about everyone elses running adventures. I am currently taking a break from training and working out a lot. I like triathlons better then marathons, but maybe that will change someday? I am having a baby in August. I think the necklace would give me great motivation when I finally get back to training..hint hint…pick me! Tangent: I can fall asleep anywhere and I am a much happier person when I get nap.
