I felt like I was running naked.

I am not running because I have a cold but I am not going to complain about it because I know I will be better soon!

I bring as little as possible with me on a run. I hate carrying things on a run. I did find that carrying a specific gel container doesn’t bother me as much as expected so I can use my own gel options rather than store bought. That’s good since none of my warm weather running gear has pockets. This mornings run felt pretty easy. It was fun splashing through puddles and coming home drenched.

I’m running this evening, it was too cold this morning! I also only run with a bottle of water and pepper spray. P.s.- Brooke’s little leg rolls are so stinkin cute!!!!

I haven’t run since Tuesday morning. lots of things going on preventing me from hitting the asphalt :\ I need it though. been stressed out.

I just wolfed my overnight oats like 2 minutes ago.

I haven’t been to San Pedro Square in a while. Last time was before a Jason Mraz concert. You have to go to the Old Spaghetti Favtory. LOVE their spumoni.

lunch today was cut up veggie burger, mixed with sweet potateos and green beans. i felt like keeping it plain and simple today. when i run i normally have my phone and that’s it. i can’t remember the last time i had anything else.

I feel naked w/out a dog or stroller, too.

I didn’t run today… school is already in full swing it appears…I don’t carry anything when I DO run though. For lunch today I had a hummus, avocado, and cucumber sandwich with a strawberry yogurt! My favourite!

I am 90% sure I stood next to Pam in the porta potty line… I should have made friends, I’m sad now!

haha I laughed when you wrote “I was just a few weeks along and already craving candy in hello kitty tins and gelato”. I was thinking.. when does she not crave those things?

I don’t usually carry anything on my runs: I hate that feeling.. I tie my car key (I drive to a lake trail to run) in my shoelace, and wear a cheap running watch. I had to carry my phone once.. and really hated it. I did like using the nike running app that time though.

I had eggs, cheddar cheese, spinach and mushrooms in a wrap, pretzels and grapes for lunch.. oh and pink lemonade!

Loving those chubby legs of Brooke’s!

I am super jealous you know Pam, Skinny Runner and RER (aka Monica)

I always feel like I have too much stuff when I run. My Garmin, my iPod, and my handheld water bottle. I usually tuck a key in there, unless I’m leaving from home and I have recently started taking my cell phone. I’m considering pepper spray. One of my co-workers said I needed to carry a gun. Yikes!

Where did you get those cute Chevron shorts?!

I just got back from a run carrying my phone. It felt harder today partway through because I was starving! By the way, stock up on that bread from Costco when you can. It keeps disappearing and will disappoint you when you are expecting it to be there!

The run felt harder today for some reason so I kept changing my stride a foot strike to keep it a little fresher. I always run with my Nike + and iPod. For lunch today I had an Apple with pb, yogurt, and a grapefruit. I am a smacked and that happens to be what I had for my noon snack. :)

Some people swear by candy during half marathons and marathons and I can’t fathom it!! I always have my cell phone on my run but it’s in an arm band. If I have to carry keys I get significantly more upset. I cannot carry a water bottle at all, drives me nuts with the water going back and forth in the bottle!

I have very little with me when I run, usually just my Garmin, iPod, and dorm key. It REALLY bothers me to carry things; I used to use my phone instead of the Garmin to track distance and pace, but I hated having to always hold it. I’ve been able to squeak by on my long runs without carrying anything, but this Saturday I’m going to have to start carrying some sort of fuel. Hopefully I’ll be able to just stuff it in those little hidden pockets in athletic shorts!

I’ve stopped carrying stuff with me when I run (other than candy) because it’s annoying, though I really should take my phone for safety’s sake! This morning’s run was harder than usual simply because I upped my mileage to 10 miles and the last few were all uphill. Great run though!

Mmm grocery store bread…

My run felt equal to the effort I was giving. Recently my runs have felt incredibly hard and yet my pace has been ~ 30 sec. slower than I’ve wanted it to be. FINALLY got my good run today.

Lunch was a spinach salad with goat cheese, walnuts, strawberries, cinnamon roasted chick peas. Also had a blueberry bliss luna bar<—best flavor, ever!

Key in zipped pocket, sometimes phone, roadid on wrist, sometimes fuel and water.

I love your chevron shorts!!

Yesterday my run felt a lot easier because I finally had headphones to use!!! It’s so much easier for me to get motivated and run faster when I have music to listen to. I never understand how people can run without music!

My run today was great because my husband was home to keep an eye on the babe, so I had no distractions! I always listen to music or watch netflix on the treadmill, but I always turn off my ringer and work email when I run so I can tune everything out and decompress!

We get that bread from costco all the time! SO good!! I had a salad for lunch, too :) Black beans, corn, spinach, walnuts, craisins, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and lemon juice as dressing. Random, but delicious!

xo

I think I’m too trusting of a runner… I usually just run with my phone in my armband and my headphones in. No ID, no keys, no pepper spray.

For lunch, I had some left over couscous with some leftover cauliflower mac n’ cheese (basically there were no noodles, I just used cauliflower and other veggies and poured a homemade cheese sauce over it). Nothing exciting..

The picture of your salad reminds me of the ones I make for dinner ALMOST every night now! I started going to TJ’s recently and got their turkey meat already cooked and throw it on top of my salads. SO GOOD!!!

Lunch was Asian sesame chicken salad. Yummers. More importantly, Ms. Brooke has the cutest baby thighs of all time.

You live in such a beautiful place! Do you think that the BOB caused your injury or the spinning? Or both!? :). For lunch I had some turkey with quinoa and black bean chips, sweet peppers, carrots, and tomatoes and then an apple! My run was blah today. The legs are just not feeling it but the brain is. Not a good combo!! And I typically take ipod and Garmin. Very smart with the pepper spray!

Glad running felt good again (and that Brook forgave you!). I’ll have to get used to BOB running in a couple months! :) And, you can’t trust me around candy either ;)

I NEEEED those chevron shorts! (And your striped running top!) I’m hardcore coveting! Also-Brooke is getting more adorable by the day!

My last run felt hard but then again it was 92 degrees and hilly! I rarely carry things. I tie my key to my shorts and stick my phone in my shorts or bra. Classy.

I usually try to carry my phone, more for safety than for anything else. In the summer I also always carry water – either in my hydration backpack or belt.

What did you have for lunch today?
Lean Pocket, Pretzel Bread Spinach and Cheese. SUPER yummy for a frozen meal. Also had carrots with it.

What do you usually have with you when you run? Does it bother you to carry stuff? Do you take your phone?
I carry my ipod. I will only bring my phone on an armband if I’m going on a long run. I also carry my car key and depending on the length of the run, I’ll have my SPIbelt packed with snacks. My mom insists I carry pepper spray, though I haven’t yet.

1st of all, I had a massive bowl of Cheerios for lunch. They were divine.
2nd, I ran outside today for the first time in a few weeks. It was difficult. And hot. Like usual, though, I feel good about it…now that’s it done.

I love Milton’s bread too! You should try their restaurant, its in Del Mar, CA and is AMAZING!

I’ve only done a 1/2 mile here & there since I ran the Paris Marathon April 7th and they’ve been okay, except I’m training for a fitness competition at my gym and one of the event is to run a 1/2 mile at a 10 degree incline as fast as you can…that kills me! I’d love to get that to 5 minutes but the best I can do seems to be 6 1/2. Really frustrating.
Well, it’s not lunch time here in the UK yet, but I plan on having chili as I made what my friend likes to call “Trash Can Chili” – you just throw a little of this in there and a little of that and pray for the best. :) Yesterday, I had a small portion of left over spaghetti and a choc. protein shake.
On a run I usually carry: small fuel belt, with 2 small waters (or homemade Gatorade), phone, iPod, inhaler and I wear my Garmin. Sometimes if I’ve been feeling poorly I’ll wear my HRM. It doesn’t bother me to carry those, I’d rather be safe and have what I need with me.

I run with my phone usually – when I started doing my shorter runs without it (and without music) I felt naked! And of course, I always hae my trusty Garmin (which must be at least an extra 3lbs on my wrist!).

I had a delicious hummus and tabouleh pita for lunch – best combo ever!

Wow, do you carry all that stuff in your hands?!

I bring my phone, ID (until I purchase a RoadID to wear) and house or car key with me in my spibelt.

My run felt harder on Wednesday…literally. I tripped over a tree root and scraped up my hand and knee. I fell HARD. :P

Today, I had half a grilled cheese, one crab cake, and some risotto…..and two halves of two different cupcakes (I was with a friend and we love to split things!)

I usually only have my car keys/house keys when I run. I don’t like to carry much!
