Welcome to my new favorite Pandora station (Pitch Perfect) to listen to when I am doing my easy runs (for my hard workouts I listen to crazy fast music to motivate me to move my legs quick).
This song, Cups, is actually my favorite song right now.
I think I will upgrade to Pandora One because the advertisements on Pandora do drive me crazy.
What? You don’t get back in bed after a run to eat breakfast and watch the Bachelorette until your daughter wakes up too? I guess it’s just me.
These two are inseparable.
After I finished ‘my show’ I ran some errands with the crew. Why don’t banks/grocery stores/libraries/post offices/every store you go to have free drinks, popcorn and comfy couches like car places do? Customers are always a lot happier when there is free food and comfort involved.
Pizza Factory just so happened to be on the way home.
All you can eat salad bar, soup and breadsticks for just $7.95. Music to our ears.
My sister used to work at Pizza Factory when I was in junior high and after her shifts she would always bring me home a breadstick. I told you she is the best sister ever. PS she is doing a post here soon:)
——————————————————————————————–
Who saw the Bachelorette finale? Thoughts?
What are some of your favorite shows right now? (I am always on the hunt for something new once the show I am loving ends)
Last song that you listened to on a run? Pandora users: what station(s) do you usually listen to?

Brooke is getting cuter in every picture- love this age when they get such a cute little personality.
I actually didn’t watch the bachelorette this season- a first for me!
Btw- those are some crazy good salad building skills you have. I get annoyed when salad bars give small plates- I end up taking two at a time ha.
The Hungry Runner Girl
I can give you free lessons.
emma @ a mom runs this town
Des didn’t really do it for me but Juan Pablo did! So I will be captivated next season!
The Hungry Runner Girl
I could not agree more with you.
Lauren @ Eat Like An Elephant
OMG the Pitch Perfect station is getting added to my stations TODAY!
Jackie
I want try that pizza place! Brooke is so cute!
Fiona @ Get Fit Fiona
A friend just introduced me to The Newsroom. I watched the first 14 episodes over the long weekend. I’m officially addicted to it now.
Natalie @ Free Range Human
Isn’t it wonderful? It has seriously made Sunday my official favorite day of the week!
Denise
I lovveeeee the newsroom. I love how it makes me feel so much smarter hahaha then I feel dumb for a quick second because they are all so intelligent :) Makes me love Sundays even more too!
Btw, janae where is your purse from???? Brown is the way to go girl. Classy.
Katie
the last song i listened to on a run was “radioactive” by imagine dragons!
Ali
Where did you get those pale pink pants? 1. They’re adorable 2. So are you!
The Hungry Runner Girl
Thank you! They were $11 at gap a few months ago!
Lauren
I love that song Cups too! I listen to it on repeat. “You’re going to miss me when I’m gone.”‘
Ashley
Oh my gosh, Brooke gets cuter and cuter all the time (when I didn’t think that would even be possible). Those two teeth she’s rocking right now?! Man she wins cutest baby contest Janae. <3
Elizabeth @ myneonrunningshoes
Not gonna lie, I’m really looking forward to your sister’s post!
Courtney
ahhh I didn’t know that Pitch Perfect station existed! awesome. I love Nashville, The Mindy Project, New Girl….although those aren’t on again until fall, so… :( I guess you could watch them online?
Julia B.
I have a Justin Timberlake/Blurred lines pandora station that usually provides some great running songs. Or, I’ll just put pop and hip hop power workout on! Favorite show right now is Castle! I know it’s nerdy…but I can’t get enough.
Katie
I love Matt Nathanson pandora and Postal Service and Andrew Belle. I’m into the easy listening, pretty, mellow ones lately :) Good working music. Those breadsticks looks so good!! And I LOVE your purse! Where is it from??
xo
kaitlin @4loveofcarrots
pitch perfect is the best station!! I love that movie it is soo funny!!
Sonia the Mexigarian
Since I haven’t run in 3 weeks, the last song I heard on the radio was a Barenaked Ladies song “One Week”. chickity china, the chinese chicken, you have a drumstick and your brain starts tickin. . .
Only two shows I am watching on TV are Project Runway and American Ninja Warrior. The rest are DVDs or Netflix :)
Carina
I liked Chris from the start and didn’t get her attraction to Brooks. I hope they stay together!
Lisa
I literally just watched Pitch Perfect last night!
And I also just saw the Bachelorette finale and am confused by it. Not sure how she could get engaged after being in love with Brooks, but maybe it was just the editing? Hopefully!
Genna
I absolutely love the cups song! I went out and purchased pitch perfect, the movie the other night!! It is def. one of my favorites!
Alyssa @ See This Girl Run
I thought Chris was the best for her so I was happy she saw the light.
I love love Suits!! You need to watch it.
Also Cups is one of my favorite songs right now too. :)
Amy @ Run Mom Run
I’m a sucker for documentaries. On Netflix instant play there is one about Lulu Jones and one about Usain Bolt. Both super motivating and awesome. I also love old shows like The Dick Van Dyke show.
Cups is such a good song.
Melissa
Your purse is super cute! Where did you get it?
Nicole @ Curly Mommy
I was just coming to comment on the same thing- it is so cute!!!!
Jamie
Chris was definitely my favorite of the last 3! But it was hard for me to believe that Des really loved him after how she reacted with Brooks. I guess we’ll see if they last!
I actually haven’t seen Pitch Perfect… I know, who am i?!
I usually put a few of my pandora stations on shuffle so I’m always guessing at the next song… My stations are all over the place… Today’s Hits, Lil Wayne, Mat Kearney, Dave Matthews, Jay-z, Rihanna… sometimes I even throw a little Celine Dion in there :)
Holli
You are stunning, Janae!
Ah, Bachelorette was OK . Buuuttttt….. Jaun… Ooolalaaa!
I did a track workout this morning and listened to Robin Thicke’s new album and blew my mile repeats out of the water! I love new music.
Megan D
I felt soooo bad for Des this season. But she looks happy now so that is all that matters. I am still kinda shocked at who they picked for The Bachelor…considering I think he had a total of 5 minutes of air time this whole season. Hard to ‘root’ for a guy you don’t know much about. But of course, I am sure I will still be sucked in like always. How do they do it? And am I going to need subtitles to watch next season? Just sayin…
Low Book Sales in Lindon, eh? I was just there last month. Hopefully you got the $10 coupon on City Deals to use there! And it actually wasn’t so bad taking my kids because they thought it was pretty stellar that they got free drinks and popcorn.
Are you sure you want to hit up PF two days in a row? Or, who am I kidding, you probably never get sick of salads. Either way, we can switch it up and go somewhere else if you want.
I have been running errands all morning/day and I just got home and guess what Anna and I were jamming to in the car? Cups. We both love that song!
Amanda
I love pitch perfect and that song. Have you seen the music video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmSbXsFE3l8
Laura @losingrace
Pandora one saved my life. The ads only get worse the longer you listen—it’s worth the less than $5 a month for unlimited ad free listening :)
Favorite stations: Lumineers station, and Ellie Goulding!
As for bachelorette….I guess I was surprised but I am glad she is happy (and that her brother did act like an idiot this time, like when she was on bachelor with Sean). I was never a huge fan of her, but it was a decent season– not the best and not the worst. Curious to see how next season goes with Juan Pablo as bachelor… he’s steamy and has an accent but is there more to him than that or no?
Kacie @ Lace up with Kace
I was pretty surprised by the Bachelorette finale. I was rooting for Brooks from the beginning, but I was hoping he would get dumped in the end so he would become the next Bachelor. I thought he was so cute! But I can’t complain about Juan Pablo!
Jenny
Brooke with her grandma is the sweetest. Adorable!!
Shay @ Whine Less, Breathe More
My favorite show right now is Duck Dynasty. Can’t get enough! So excited for new episodes next week.
Pandora users: what station(s) do you usually listen to? I’m mad at Pandora right now. It was not good to me on my last run so I went home and downloaded Songza. I will be using it on my run tonight for the first time!
Catherine
Cruise remix with Nellie
Ashley
LOVE Pitch Perfect! And Cups, definitely my current fave song.
If you have Netflix you should check out Raising Hope- it’s good for a laugh!
Lisa
Check out this version of Cups: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6y1aOg_UO_A
Hmm didn’t listen to music at ALL on my run today! Quiet and deep in thought. :)
I just started watching Broadchurch and I think it’s great.
margot
Cups is my favorite song now too! How cool is Anna Kendrick?
Next on your list: “Hold on when you get love and let go when you get it.” By a band called Stars.
Brooke is still the most adorable in the world.
XX Janae!!
Sharsti@theblondehaiblueeyedrunner
New girl is the funniest show ever!! There are a few crude ones so you gotta be careful lol
If you lie cups you’ll love ‘call your girlfriend’ by Lennon and maisy, so awesome!!
Kari @ Running Ricig
Don’t hate me, but I hate that Cups song.
I usually just watch old TV on Netflix. I’ve been rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I love it so much.
This post makes me really want breadsticks.
Danica @ It's Progression
I switch up which pandora station I listen to all the time – it depends on what mood I’m in I guess! I love that Cups song, too. I need to see that movie!
Rebecca
Can’t help noticing that you haven’t been wearing your wedding ring in the pics lately. Hope things with Billy are going okay and that you’re not in Utah for reasons other than vacation :(
Rachel
Not the place, ham.
Casey
Sup, concern troll. Grow up.
Jennie
That’s really none of your business, and rude to point out. Even if a Facebook friend commented on a picture like that I would be upset, and those are people I know in real life.
Robyn
I really like the cups song too!
Erica
I feel like she chose Chris just so she didn’t leave empty handed. I thought it was genuine heartbreak over Brooks. Seems like Chris is the bandaid. Plus he wrote her a poem every time. One, cute/romantic………repeating it every week to cheese ball for me.
You, Brooke, and mom all looking cute today!!
Caroline
You NEED to watch the baby bachelor!!! It’s amazing!!
Karen @ Runner Girl Eats
I love Cups! It’s been stuck in my head since I first saw the movie. You should try songza. It’s 10xs better than pandora and no commercials!
Maria
Check out the Phillip Phillips pandora station. One my friends described it at Mumford lite, but I like the mix.
:)
Melanie
I heard cups for the first time on a run and loved it so much I had to google to find out who sang it. Now its my ring tone. I really like the today hits station and get aggrevated with the commercials too but I am to cheap to upgrade. I have been watching glee on netflix and mistresses and camp on hulu.
Amy @ crazysweatymommy
Paranormal shows…Dead Files, Paranormal Witness….my husband hates them and instantly falls asleep! Waiting for the new season of Biggest Loser—he hates that too!
Leigha
Those breadsticks oh my gosh!! I have a love/hate relationship with buffets. LOVE all the food, but hate the feeling after. Too. Much. Food.
Allie
Pitch perfect STATION????? My mind is blown! Cueing it up for my long run!
Hope
Interior Therapy on Bravo. LOVE Jeff Lewis.
I have listened to that Cups song way more times than I want to admit.
Marissa
No Bachelorette or shows during my masters program :(
I listened to Black Eyed Peas station this morning on my run, it was good!
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun
LOVE LOVE LOVE pitch perfect! It is a great movie! I honestly have never watched the bachalorette this season – I feel so out of it with everyone talking about it. We actually cut our able this past year so I watch pretty much everything on hulu – but I haven’t had much time lately. One of these days I will! :)
Emily @ Running for Boston
I am a sucker for all reality shows dealing with food. Right now, I’m into Masterchef…I can’t wait for tonight’s episode. And of course I’m looking forward to the final 8 episodes of Breaking Bad (they start back up this Sunday).
Last song I listened to while on a run…Wavin’ Flag by K’naan.
Miranda @ Miranda Runs
Mmmmmm breadsticks <333
Frannie
I don’t really like Pitch Pefect, but I adore the soundtrack!!!! I know, I’m super odd like that!!! I also agree- purse is SO cute!
Cathryn
The song is awesome. I’m going to download it tonight and think of you on my long run :)
Kristen @ Medium Roast
I’ve actually switched from Pandora to Songza. I don’t know how they do it, but no ads! I love their Coffee Shop Indie Playlist. And Cups is definitely on my favorites list right now too!
Leah
I’ve been reading your blog for a while now but I barely ever comment (mostly just when there are giveaways). I just want to say how much I enjoy your blog – don’t tell my boss but it’s typically the first thing I look at when I get to work. :) You have such an incredibly positive outlook on life and an amazing way of relating to complete strangers on the internet. Thank you for giving me a little something to look forward to every day!
Jess
This, what Leah said. 100% agree. Could have written this comment myself.
Jessica R @ FromtheKitchentotheRoad
I really like how The Bachalorette ended. He was my fav and they sure make a pretty couple. I really hope it’s real though. I’m skeptical even though I like the show.
Nicole @ Work in Sweats Mama
I love Pandora and stream it while I’m working. I set up a custom station that pulls all of my favorite artists plus similar bands. Love it! Right now I’m digging Mumford & Sons!
MILF Runner
The ads on Pandora drive me CRAZY!!!! Why did I never think to upgrade? Thanks for putting that possibility out there for me to see!
How sad is it that the last time I ran was February and I don’t remember what the last song was?
danielle
Stoooppppp with the breadsticks already!! :) Those look so stinkin’ good!
LosingLindy
aw you have such a good sis. I can’t wait to read her post
Kay
I think car places have to give you little perks because most of the time it takes so long and costs so much for repairs, haha!
Ashley @ Saving Money in your Twenties
agree on the snacks while running errands- every place should do that! also love the song cups. i just don’t understand why on earth that is the song title…? hah
april
i LOVE the pitch perfect pandora station! i like to listen to it while going on walks or cooking dinner (haha very random, but it’s fun to sing along while cooking!).
i was happy with the outcome of the bachelorette. he was one of my favorites from the beginning. i’m currently obsessed with how i met your mother – i used to watch it a couple years ago, but got busy and stopped watching it, so i’m catching up on old episodes right now.
Katie @ Bevo Loves an Aggie
The Bachelorette finale was CRAZY! I think she is really still in love with Brooks, the whole thing seems so awkward.
I recently got into Army Wives and Suits…I can watch all the previous seasons for free on Amazon Prime!
Natalie @ Free Range Human
I can’t stop telling everyone I know to watch The Newsroom on HBO. It’s the most intelligent show I’ve seen on TV in a long, long time!
Sarah
Watching Sherlock and Castle right now
I always listen to a band called Say Anything when I run
Amy
Longtime reader, first-time commenter. Just wanted to say there are three generations of beautiful ladies in this post – your mom, you, and Brooke are absolutely adorable. I think Brooke is among the cutest babies I have ever seen, so thank you for sharing her adorableness with us.
Hope you’re soaking up your family time, Janae! Love your blog, I think you’re awesome, and you inspire me. :)
[I think this comment is sappy, but I guess I’m compensating for all the times I didn’t leave a comment?]
Favourite shows right now: Suits, Criminal Minds, and Top Chef Masters.
The Hungry Runner Girl
Amy! Thank you so much for your sweet comment, you made my night! I like sappy:)
Liz @ The Girl on Fire Now
Brooke is the cutest kid ever :) I babysit if you are ever in PA … :)
And I am such a breadstick person omigosh :)
I’ve never seen Pitch Perfect – but I love the Cup song :)
Monica L
I swear Brooke just makes my heart melt-she is too adorable! I guess I’m going to have to watch this Pitch Perfect movie that everyone is talking about. How did I not know anything about it? I LOVE musicals! We are really into BBC shows right now. Luther, The Hour, Broadchurch (that starts tonight-hope it’s good), Sherlock….all excellent tv. Also love me some Dr. Who ;) I also caught a few episodes of Nashville that I want to go back and watch from the beginning-with Connie Britton-gotta support our FNL peeps!
Cathryn
Luther is AMAZING but seriously terrifying. Never watch it alone! But I have such a crush on Idris Elba!!
Monica L
It is terrifyingly good! I never watch it alone. And you can’t have a crush on him because I do ;)
Lauren
I started watching ‘The Killing’ on Netflix and am ADDICTED!!! Really intriguing story and excellent acting!! I watched the first season in less than a week :)
Eh, not sure about the Bachelorette finale…I like her best with Chris but she was soooo into Brooks the turnaround time just seems unbelievable to me!
Looking forward to the post from your sister! :)
Amanda
Lana del ray station is amazing. They have such a great mix of cool, chill music. John butler trio and Dispatch are also good stations for the same vibe.
I have Pitch Perfect waiting for me when I get home so I am excited to finally see what everyone has been talking about.
Lily
I have to admit this- every morning when I wake up, your blog is the first thing I read. I wake up super early for work, and reading your posts just brightens my mood and makes me happy. You know what I figured out? You’re like the friend who always asks how the other person is doing and genuinely listens when she answers.
Obviously, you’re a wonderful mother and a ridiculously talented runner. But to the rest of us, you’re the bright spot in our day. Thank you, Janae. Big hug.
The Hungry Runner Girl
Wow. Lily. I can’t tell you how much your comment meant to me. Really, thank you so much. We better get to eat froyo together someday!
Gillian
I gotta admit your blog is my guilty pleasure! I read it while I have my coffee in the morning :). Love all the running tips and motivation and daily food cravings u give me!
I’m not into the bachelorette or the bachelor but I LOVE biggest loser and cannot wait for it to come back.
Last song I listened to was ‘cruise’ (Featuring nelly).
The Hungry Runner Girl
Thanks Gillian! You are so so sweet! I hope you have a great day!
melissa
haha I love how its an all you can eat salad bar and you still pile your salad like a mountain! its awesome!
Lizzi
I haven’t seen Pitch Perfect (or heard any of the music), but I get told pretty much weekly that the girl from it is my doppelganger.. so I should definitely check it out! Plus I’m so behind the times and have never used Pandora, so it might be a good excuse to give it a shot :)
Nicole @Pink Elephant on Parade
I love the Mindy Project and I listen to the Backstreet Boys Pandora station but low enough that no one knows that’s what I’m listening to.
Deb
OMGosh – I can’t wait for your sisters post! ;-)
Brooklyn
Thanks for the pandora recommendation! I’ve been listening to N’Sync radio at work (yes, I’m 29 going on 13). :) Usually has boy bands, britney and some disney movie soundtrack songs (little mermaid, aladdin & more!)
Laura @ Live, Run Sparkle
This seems like the best Pandora channel ever! We can’t get it in Canada…. devastating! Pitch Perfect had the best soundtrack, I could just watch that movie again and again
Rachel @ Undercover Diva: A Sitcom
I love Pretty Little Liars and Switched at Birth. ABC Family shows. Love them! I listen to Ke$ha radio station, Hip Hop and Power Workout station, or country fitness. I’m so tired of the Cups song…the girls I supervised the last 2 weeks for camp sang it NON-STOP and did the cup playing. SO OVER IT!
Sherri F
The purse! Where from? I am loving the longer strap look after carrying shoulder bags forever.
The Hungry Runner Girl
Hey! Thanks! It is Marc Jacobs and it is from Nordstrom. I accidentally splurged on it;)
Cecily
OMG, Janae- I was reading your post this morning (as part of my morning routine at work) :) , and my iphone is plugged into my work docking station right next to the computer. Cups was playing (and displayed on my iphone) on my Pitch Perfect Pandora station as I scrolled down your post to see the exact.same.screenshot (double vision)! That must mean something, right? Maybe we are long lost Pandora besties?
The Hungry Runner Girl
I think we are!
julia
listend to pitch perfect pandora station for a long fun run, it was the PERFECT set of songs. thank you for sharing!!
The Hungry Runner Girl
Oh good!
Michelle @ 3cheaprunners
That looks almost as good as Olive Garden!
Patricia
I love pandora! I recently paid for it and it is amazing. No more commercials when I am listening to the meditation station.
Heather
I think this is my first time commenting? Love your blog! Just tried the Pitch Perfect station this morning while doing my hair; it was awesome.
The Hungry Runner Girl
That makes me so happy!
Lisa Michelle
Cups is my favorite song right now, too! Little man was yelling at me to turn it off the radio the other day and I vowed to start playing it for him more often so he loves it, too. :) So glad you’re having so much fun with the fam! Kind of jealous you’re still there–I should’ve staying in Utah longer. Next summer, for sure.
Shawna
obsessed with Pitch Perfect. every single second about it. like, i want to watch it every day and every time it’s on, i have to watch. and sing. to every song.
Brittany @ GOtheXtraMile
Brooke gets cuter every post, I swear!! :)
You should try 8 tracks.. you can pick which genre and it’s a bunch of playlists, so no commercials! It’s amazing!
Sakina
I adore your handbag (and you!), but seriously what was up with that season finale of Bachelorette?? And WHY is Drew not the Bachelor!!!! More importantly WHO is Juan Pablo?!
I obviously had to comment and vent my frustrations.
Ashley
I was NOT happy with Des and the end of this season, but everything was made OK by Juan Pablo. He makes everything OK :)
Logan @ Mountains and Miles
House of Cards. Love it.
Ali
If you like the song, you have to see these because some of them are really funny
