After a 4 hour nap Brooke woke up ready to run around from one end of the house to the other like she normally does. Her cadence is right at 180 in case you were wondering, I counted yesterday. 4 hour naps work wonders. We should all try one soon.
When Brooke went to bed I drove up to SLC to meet with some of my favorite people. THE BROOKS TEAM. They are in town for the Outdoor Retailer event and I got to meet up with them for dinner. Yes, that is a space suit… part of the Transcends campaign. I kind of want one too.
Started off with a salad and I loved that they put chickpeas on it, something I need to try at home. I didn’t love the beet. Does anyone else think that beets taste like dirt?
And then I ate the world’s largest meatball. It was amazing.
2 hours of non-stop talking about running while eating delicious food is a great way to spend a Thursday night.
And for dessert I had some of this chocolate bar. Don’t be jealous of my new awesome hat.
2 things that I was thinking about a lot yesterday:
1. My good friend Pam had this new gum on her instagram and I NEED this. Has anyone tried it yet? I love SPK and I love gum, the combination is brilliant. Now they need to make a Swedish Fish one.
2. I pretty much listened to this song on repeat all day long yesterday. It is such a beautiful song and I can’t get enough.
Two least favorite foods?
-Olives and beets.
What are your Friday night plans?
Tell me a song that you are loving right now!

Emmeline @RunForThePizza
I have far too many least favorites but let’s say mushrooms and ham.
I’ve been listening to songs from the Nashville tv show lately! So many good ones :) plus the show is addictive.
Hollie
YOU DONT LIKE OLIVES?!?!
I love Greek food myself so I’ll never get enough. My least favorite foods are tofu (the texture disgusts me) and bananas.
Anyways, those hats are awesome. It almost makes me want to run in the dark with one. Although I don’t think I need another fall and broken arm.
Have a great weekend and glad Brooke is feeling better!
Wendy @ New Moms Talk
“Take me to the city dump” is currently stuck in my head. It’s a tribute to JP Patches.
Tonight I’ll probably snuggle with our girl, go to the beach, make pizza, and after she’s asleep do yoga and write.
Sounds like a perfect Friday to me!
Abi@AbsofSteel
fish and mushrooms, both have horrible flavor and texture in my opinion. Glad to see Brooke is feeling better :)
Lindsey
I hate hate hate olives but love beets. My husband can’t stand beets either and just like you he says they taste like dirt. More beets for me ha ha ha.
Friday night plans- teaching bootcamp. Going to give my group an awesome work out to kickoff their weekend. Then relaxing with my husband and probably early to bed to be up early for my run.
So glad Brooke is feeling better!
Brittany (Healthy Slice of Life)
Haha, I finally admitted to myself yesterday that I just don’t like beets and I’m over trying to make myself. They do taste like dirt!
Gari
Beets and beans taste like mud.
I ll have a wild Friday night, staying in front of the tv watching Revenge and The Americans
Kristina @ Fast and Foodiest
I keep working on the foods I don’t like… I don’t like not liking things! I have overcome pickles and I am working on capers… but there is something about brine-y-ness that I really have a hard time with. Also mustard. I can detect even the smallest amounts- but like I said… trying to become an… adult?
Ugh no favorite songs right now. Stinks! I need a play list for the Boston Prep 16 miler Sunday- something to keep me motivated through the 15 degree weather and crazy NH hills!
Friday = movies at my BFFs house with my other BF (and our husbands) and all of their kids. I am bringing lasagna!
Anna @ That DAMM Runner
I have a love/hate relationship with beets! Sometimes I love them – when they’re warm and roasted, but they also do have a distinct dirt flavor. Not always appetizing…
I hate a lot of condiments – mayonnaise, relish, and random sauces…gross.
I’m going to dinner with one of my best friends! Yay weekend :)
Megan
Blue Cheese is the worst.
Kaylie
I did a one-day juice cleanse last weekend and it had beet juice… I wanted to barf the whole time. It DOES taste like dirt.
I also don’t like olives. Blech. And mushrooms, no matter how many times I try them again.
Chelsea
Haha I hate olives and like beets. Also hate cilantro and blue cheese– they taste like soap! Not a fan of goat cheese or lamb, either– they taste like licking a barn floor :)
Meaghan @ Tale of Two Teachers
Right now my Friday night plans look like going to bed early because I’m exhausted! I feel like I haven’t heard any awesome new songs lately so I’m super excited to read people’s responses here :)
Can’t stand the smell, look, taste, texture of ham! I’m vegetarian now but I’ve always felt this way about ham – disgusting!
Elle
My two least favorites are bananas and mushrooms. I also don’t like beets because of their texture, but I don’t come across them too often.
I can’t stop listening to “Love me again”. Its been on repeat all week.
Elizabeth @ my neon running shoes
Yuck beets! I want that gum!!! I also saw everyone posting cookie dough Oreos yesterday and I want to try them :)
Kristina @ Blog About Running
I’m so with you on the olives … and I think jalepenos might be my second. I’ve never had beets because I think they look like they would taste like dirt. Now that it’s been confirmed, I can go the rest of my life without trying them :)
Adriana @ Laced Up With Lipstick
I don’t like olives either or onions. Yuck!!! Tonight we are taking Troy to the airport he flys to see his dad, and my BIL flys in to town for a visit.
Right now Bruno Mars Locked Out Of Heaven has been stuck on my head.
Runner Girl Eats
I hate olives. Yuck. Friday night plans include resting a ton from a busy week and writing bridal shower thank you cards. Probably some wine too ;)
Elizabeth @ Positive Change
I love beets! I had some for dinner last night and I am a huge Greek food person and love olives! :)
I can’t stand jalepenos or twizzlers. Yuck.
Tonight I am packing after work to head home for the weekend! :)
I am loving the Counting Stars by OneRepublic.
Kari @ Running Ricig
My least favorite foods are probably any kind of meat. I really can’t handle the taste and texture.
My friday night plans are a late meeting for work and then probably crashing on the couch. I know, I’m pretty wild.
So glad Brooke is back on the move!
Lauren
UGH I hate beets too!! I am so glad to see a blogger that doesn’t like them, I feel like they are one of those foods they always love and put in smoothies in stuff…nope nope nope!! I also hate olives, we must be twins :)
I recently discovered Ellie Goulding (I know, WAY behind on my game!) and I can’t stop listening to “Explosions.” Beautiful song! And for my cardio, “Animals” by Martin Garrix (I think that is his name? I’m not positive lol) is on repeat. I can’t wait to be able to run outside again (way too cold right now) and blast it!!
And this is random, but did you see the special Valentine’s Day M&Ms, Red Velvet??? I found some at Wal Mart yesterday and mercy, they are good!!
Have a great Friday, Janae! Glad little Brooke is feeling better :)
Elizabeth
Try “Oceans” by United Hillsong! Love
Amy
I have had the red and the green SPK gum. It is pretty tasty. I like giving that to my kids now instead of the actual sour patch kids :)
Amy
two least favorite foods are Olives and Peas
Friday night plans are a girls night at my house- so excited to see all my friends!
Laura
I too HATE Olives. As a child, we had to bring in different oriental foods and I was told that Olives tasted like blackcurrants and were fruity.
It was the total opposite and I’ve HATED them ever since. I also don’t like liver, tried it once and don’t want to go through the experience again.
I’m loving the song ‘Happy’ from Despicable Me by Pharrell Williams, never fails to brighten my mood when I hear it.
Glad to hear Brooke is feeling better, Have a great Friday, Janae!
meredith @ The Cookie ChRUNicles
We think alike with our post this week – I bought the Sour Patch Kids gum and love it and I have been listening to a few songs on repeat lately such as Titanium. If it isn’t on your running play list – download it today. I keep it on repeat and run super super fast like nobody’s business. Totally a running, release of emotions inspiring song.
Jenn
I’ve had the SPK gum and it’s really good but loses it’s flavor in about 30 seconds!
Natalie @ Free Range Human
I can’t think of a food I truly detest although I’m not overly find of any type of red meat fish.
My absolute favorite song right now is Murder In The City by the Avett Brothers. It’s a really beautiful song about family. I think you’ll love it!
Tess
Oh my gosh. What a beautiful song. Thanks for that.
Victoria @ Smiles 'n' Snuggles
I’m taking my 3 year old to get presents for my mom and brother’s birthdays (they’re on the same day!) at the bookstore. Then watching some TV and relaxing because my report cards are done! Right now I’ve got One Direction stuck in my head but I really like Katy Perry’s Unconditional and play it often at home.
Christina @ The Athletarian
Funny you say beets taste like dirt! I actually like them. I think it’s MUSHROOMS that taste like dirt! I can’t stand them. I also hate Brussels sprouts!
Tonight will probably be an ‘ordering pizza and sitting in front of the TV’ kind of night!
Have a great day!
lauren@golaurengo
I hate steak! and provolone cheese. yuck.
Chelsea @ A Fit LittleOne
I am super jealous of that hat!! Neon pink will always be the best! Least two favorite foods, rice (brown and white), and fish. I just can’t get over these two, and trust me, I’ve tried multiple times lol! I’m going to outline another chapter in my anatomy book, then study the last chapter, and watch vampire diaries :D I’m still obsessed with Counting Stars by OneRepublic!
Jackie
I can’t do olives either or blue cheese. Gag!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats
black licorice and flavored water. Cannot stand either.
Lisa @ runningoutofwine
I am trying to learn to like beets because I hear they are really good for runners! I have added them to smoothies and recipes and don’t really taste them- I just can’t eat them plain!
Song I am liking are Timber and Story of my Life!
Livi
I am not a fan of beets– too earthy for me!
I am so glad Brooke is better!!
MILF Runner
That’s the word I was going to use…”earthy”! Exactly. But I like them :)
Meaghan
Sausage and tomatoes…yuck
my mom is visiting!!
http://nyviewsnikeshoes.com
Rebecca@Runningfoodbaby
I’m listening to Let it Go from the Frozen soundtrack. It isn’t my fave Idina Menzel song – but I do like the lyrics!
No big Friday night plans – boringsaurus over here :-(
Kathee
I love pickled beets!
I won’t even tell you my least favorite food or I’ll be blocked from your blog. ;)
Working tonight.
Love my job and it’s a great/safe way to spend a Friday night!
Ashley @ My Food N Fitness Diaries
I don’t have many foods that I really don’t like… The only one I can really think of is black licorice! Ugh. Can’t even stand the smell of it!
Friday night plans: lounging, eating, watching TV, going to bed early. Exciting, right? ;) But it actually does sound pretty exciting to me right now. I feel like I just need one of those leisurely nights!
Susie B.
That gum is the best!! I think the red kind is better than green, though. I literally polished off the pack I bought in 2 days… I’m not the least bit sorry about it.
Marissa @ Run Riss Run
Two least favorite foods: eggplant and cactus
Friday night plans are camping at the beach! Yahoo!
My fav song right now is Unconditional by Katy Perry.
Tess
Um….cactus is a food? I didn’t even think it was a pretty plant. How would you eat it? ::googling now::
Marissa
I had it at a Mexican restaurant. Blech! It was super salty and slimy and I spit it right back out.
tess
Yeah…nothing about that sounds good. And at a Mexican restaurant? Hello cheesy goodness.
Rhae
I totally agree, beets taste like dirt. I have tried them so many different ways thinking that I could find the magic combination that would make them edible; alas no. Beets and mushrooms are my least favorite foods.
Probably watch a movie with my kids while eating popcorn and sipping hot chocolate. Favorite Friday night plans in winter.
Jenny
Least favorites: blue cheese and green olives (I can *tolerate* black olives, but barely)
Plans: I’m dog and cat sitting for my parents tonight so I’m gonna curl up next to their fireplace and read :)
Song: What I Wouldn’t Do by Serena Ryder http://youtu.be/OUdOG5IWBE0
Amy B
We picked up that gum last weekend at Target. It comes in red and green and its FABULOUS!
Alyssa @ See This Girl Run
I do not like seafood and brussel sprouts!
Tonight I need to do some shopping. and get to bed early so that I can party all day tomorrow!
Current favorite song: After All by Michael Buble
Mary@RunWalkLift
I love most Pink songs. I haven’t heard that one yet.
Trying to decide if we should go to dinner or a movie. This will be our last date night before my husband heads to Utah to snowboard for a few days.
Any movie suggestions?
My friends have started a daily deal site called Modernpenny.com
You can link to it through my site. Sometime in the near future they will be selling some cute running headbands.
MartinaNYC
Do both ;) I watched the Wolf of Wall Street last weekend and I really liked it… Mind you though, it lasts 3 hours!!!
Lora @ Crazy Running Girl
I am not sure how I would like that gum… but would be interested to try. I hate chocolate, whipped cream and cream cheese —> major ew.
dana a.
Olives and Mushrooms…yuck!
Tonight, just a low key night since I am running a race early in the morning:)
My favorite song right now is Counting Stars by One Republic…love it!
Glad Brooke is feeling better:)
Tess
Mm. I don’t do slimy. Mushrooms for sure. Don’t even get me started on the weird things like oysters or mussells. *shudder* Beets…no. Olives just smell gross. And cottage cheese. It even has a bad name. Cottage. cheese. cottage. cheese. bleah.
My list may be a little long for your comment section so I’ll stop now.
Cate
Olives are soooooooooo gross, but I love beets, specifically roasted golden beets in a salad with feta cheese. I would have to say eggplant and peppers are my least favorites (mainly because I’m allergic to peppers!).
My Friday night includes working late and hopefully some quality time with the old treadmill.
I’m kind of obssessed with Ends of the Earth by Lord Huron. If you haven’t listened to it already, you should. I think you’ll like it.
Have a great weekend and I can’t wait to read about your adventures!
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun
Olives and beets are AWFUL! I think I have to agree with you on that one. The new big thing in the running world is beet juice… BLEH! Sounds nasty to me don’t think I will ever be able to get into that one.
Colleen @ CSmith Run
I’m a very picky eater (but getting better!) so there are a lot of foods I don’t like…the first that comes to mind is cilantro…I hate that flavor.
I’ve still been obsessed with Brave by Sara Barailles lately!
Laura@twinsontherun
So glad to see Brooke running around again!
Your dinner looked so good! And I kind of love that hat!
I’ve hated hot dogs for my whole life. Yuck!
Lauren Jimison
I used to hate beets, until my boyfriend cooked them for me. He roasted them with cauliflower and sweet potatoes drizzled with olive oil. Now, I really love them….if they’re cooked and seasoned well.
Two least favorites: hot dogs (gross…you don’t know what’s in them) and ricotta cheese (i hate the texture)
Friday night plans? I have a big tempo run this a.m., start my new job today, and have gym tonight; that’s enough to wear me out! :)
Song I love right now: Michicant by Bon Iver. Beautiful.
Cori @ olivetorun
Did you just say you didn’t like me publicly on your blog?!
Just kidding… I’ve never tried an olive but I don’t think I’d love the taste of them either. However, I’d like to clarify something… people nicknamed Olive rock. That is all :)
Valerie
Did you hear the news?! 2 new Oreo flavors. I’m personally excited about Crispy Marshmallow.
http://newsfeed.time.com/2014/01/23/oreo-launches-two-new-flavors-and-theyre-both-delicious/?hpt=hp_t3
Kate
I’ve had the red sour patch gum and it’s pretty good. So far, I’ve only found it at Target.
Glad that Brooke is feeling better!!
Linda @ running4two
Cilantro…yuck. I’m with you on the olives and the beets. I really try to like olives and i just can’t like the taste of them.
My mom, AB, and I are flying to Florida this afternoon to visit my brother and his family! Can’t wait!
PS I’m so glad that Brooke is feeling better!
Leah @ Running with the Hayneses
Heading to Cape Cod to run a 50K tomorrow!!! Even though I’ve tentatively been planning on doing this race for a long time, it’s kind of spur of the moment because we waited until the last minute (this morning) to decide that we’re for sure going. :)
MILF Runner
My daughter and I have been car-dancing a lot lately due to a new, long commute. We both seem to really get going when that monster under my bed song comes on. I’m too old to know what’s going on so don’t remember the actual title or artist.
Liz @ Tip Top Shape
I am loving “Stay” by Rihanna. It’s in that Labor Day trailer that seems to play every other minute on the television. Totally addicted to it now!
Cori @ shes going the distance
least favorite foods are red onions & celery.
Song: “miles away” by madonna, it’s a few years old, but so good to run to!
Traci
I’m with you on disliking olives and beets! People either love or hate olives, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to switch teams.
lisa
Ha, I just tried beets again a few weeks ago to see if my taste buds had changed. My 6 yr old asked me what it tasted like, and I said, “dirt.” ;0 I’ve been using them in smoothies though..it makes such a pretty color and you can’t taste it with banana added.
I am obsessed w/”Say Something” right now. Love it.
Least fave food? anything that once had a mother
and canned spinach and creamed corn. I have never once eaten this as an adult, by was forced to eat it as a child. Gross!
Shawna
Loving “Say Something” by A Great Big World and Christina. :) The video makes me teary though :(
Kara H.
Our taste buds are eerily similar – love of sugar, dislike of beets and olives. I totally think beets taste like dirt. It was the worst when I decided to get a fresh beet juice. ugh.
So glad that Brooke is feeling better! Sleep always makes things better.
Shannon B.
Fish and chocolate are two foods I just don’t like. I know I said chocolate!
I seem to be hitting repeat on Florida Georgia Line – Cruise the last couple days.
Happy to see Brooke is feeling better!
Lyndsey
Hate olives!!!!!! Loooovvvve beets!!!!! The sour patch kid gum is fabulous but loses fabulousness after a couple minutes. Try it though!
Lisa @ runnermamablogger
I love chickpeas and actually I love them in a salad with just balsamic vinegar and no oil. I hate to tell you but I love beets. Try them roasted with goat cheese, orange slices and balsamic vinegar and I promise you will feel very differently about them.
Thanks for blogging, I look forward to reading it every day.
Michelle @ 3cheaprunners
Olives and Dill Pickles
Monica
I’ glad Brooke is feeling better. Having sick kids is heartbreaking and exhausting.
I love pickled beets but I cannot eat the regular ones. Eew. I also strongly dislike black licorice. It’s so grody.
Tonight we’re going to eat at the Outback with my husband’s whole family to celebrate a bunch of winter birthdays. It’s kind of pathetic how excited I am to go.
My favorite songs lately have been Sail by AWOL Nation, Timber by Pitbull, and Say Something by A Great Big World. I have this thing for really sad songs for some reason. They make me feel like I’m not all alone in my dark places. Does that make sense?
Ali
Uhhh a 4 hour nap! That sounds amazing. I would love to sleep for 4 hours straight at night haha.
Kay
That gum looks so fun!
Have you heard about the new Cookie Dough and Marshmallow Crispy Oreos?!?! I am emailing you an article about them haha.
Ashten @ Southern class and a bit of Sass
mushrooms < yuck
olives < sick
Tonight (if this weather in Houston calms down) I am going to a friends house for dinner & we are going to catch up on Girls. < new fav show.
Leslie @ My Life Begins at 30?
Olives and green beans for me. I do like Cory’s blog at Olive to Run though!
Tonight I am trying out a new restaurant since it is restaurant week. I love to try new places with friends!
BriAnne
Beets and mushrooms! I know mushrooms are so good for you so I’m trying to add them to my diet, slowly.
BriAnne
My all time favorite song at the moment is Pompeii by Bastille!! Listened to it 4 times during my workout this morning. And another fave is Brave by Sara Bareilles. It was my theme song last year
BriAnne
Beets and mushrooms! I know mushrooms are so good for you so I’m trying to add them to my diet, slowly.
Miranda @ Lovely Wife Lovely Life
I love chickpeas! I never tried them before college but they’re usually an option as a topping for rice/wraps/etc. They’re so good! I hate pickles and mint. Blech!
Nadia
Try golden beets less earthy tasting. Also roasted beets taste better. And add goat cheese to them for contrast. It helps!
Nicole @Pink Elephant on Parade
LET IT GO.
And Olives are amazing, you need to give them a better chance.
Monica
P.S. If I were ever able to switch voices with someone I would totally choose Pink. Her voice is amazing!
Laura
Oh I love that Pink song! (Along with all of her songs!)
Glad to see Brooke is feeling better!
You don’t like olives?!?! I love any and all olives. And you should try roasted fresh beets, they are actually delicious. And I second the suggestion of goat cheese with the roasted beets.
I actually hate bananas….the smell, the texture, the taste. I wish I liked them cause they are good for you…..
Amy @ Run Mom Run
You get invited to the most awesome stuff! The Brooks team is the best!
Kristen @ Glitter and Dust
I am very jealous of your neon Brooks hat – love it! My least favorite foods are mushrooms and walnuts. I won’t go near any food that even touches them. Friday night plans will probably involve a movie and glass of wine. Cheers to the weekend!
Lauren @Will Run for Boston
Least favorite foods are mushrooms and olives! ICK!
No major plans for tonight… hopefully just relaxing at home catching up on TV from the week! :)
Kelly
Least favorite foods are mayo and horseradish, so random. My plans for tonight include studying :)
Crystal Ocegueda
I’m with you on the beets! They totally taste like dirt. The end.
Flower
I can’t even think about your questions cause I’m still stuck on that awesome hat…I think I need it. I’m pretty sure I would run much faster if I had it too…I just know it.
Caroline
I don’t love beets and I definitely don’t love olives. I wish I liked both though!
Debbie @ Deb Runs
It’s great that Brooke is feeling better! Your Brooks event sounds like a ton of fun!
Sauerkraut and clams are two foods I can’t stand. I love most other seafood, but just can’t stand clams!
Tamara Groat
I think beets taste exactly like dirt!, but that’s why I like them… (how do we know what dirt tastes like anyways?)…… lol… Glad Brooke is feeling better….
Amy @ fitnessmeetsfrosting.com
Lol we share least favorite foods! I would like to add artichoke to my list- which I think most people use as a vehicle for mayonnaise anyways.
Jamie @ Sometimes Healthy Living Blog
Friday Night Plans = Dinner and vino with the best friend. Still looking for a recipe to make!
Song I’m loving is “Brave,” by Sara Bareilles. It’s cheesy but it does make me feel a bit stronger in the tough times, like right now :-)
Ashlee@HisnHers
YES to the beet question. I will never eat another one as long as I live
Kristen
I hate olives too! I keep trying them every year or so, hoping for change. They’re so pretty and I think they smell good but blech.
I’m loving the song “Fearless” from the Girl vs Monster soundtrack. How can you easily identify someone with a 7 year old daughter? Their current favorite song is from a 2012 Disney Channel movie.
Oh, and I want that gum! Adding it to my grocery list.
Amanda
I’m currently chewing the berry flavor of that gum. It’s amazing. Hmm, that’s sad on my part, but it is really good. I didn’t like the lime as much though.
Olives are gross. I think they taste and smell like feet must taste.
Songs..…Eminem’s entire new CD.
Lauren
I tried to Sour Patch Kids berry flavored and LOVED it. It kind of does taste like a Swedish fish!
Listen to this song!!! It’s so sad but my GOD I love it. Those nights you just need to cry (ugh) listen to it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2U0Ivkn2Ds
And this. Just because :) http://www.yahoo.com/food/11-foods-that-taste-amazing-when-theyre-frozen-74204261812.html
Tricia @ Balance In Progress
Definitely have to agree with you on the beets and olives. I would also add fish. Not a fan. My Friday night plans will most likely involve watching a Disney movie and eating popcorn with my daughter and husband. Living the life! :)
Rachel @ My Adventures As A Rinderknecht
Yes beets totally taste like dirt! I said this to my hubby and his family, and they all looked so shocked haha..oops! I also really don’t like cauliflower. I don’t have any plans for tonight yet, but they will probably involve staying in, relaxing, and getting some more things ready for baby (will I ever feel ready?!?!). Right now I am really liking the song “Whatever She’s Got” By David Nail. It is sweet and upbeat :)
April
Love that song, it is one of my favorites!! Pink’s Funhouse album is one of my all time favorites. In 2008/9 I listened to it every time I ran. Took me a whole year to get sick of running with it :) I still listen to it sometime when I sleep or am in a sad mood. Isn’t it crazy how much music drives our moods.
My friday plans are pretty lame. Cleaning and swimming laps after work. I’ve been dying to get back into the pool.
My favorite song of the moment is Helluva Life by Frankie Ballard. It’s a country song and it makes me smile :) He says “bad times make the good times better.” Remember that!!
Dana
Love Tatyana Ali Last Summer right now. Glad Brooke is feeling better!
Ashley
SO glad Brooke is feeling better – poor little thing!
Tracy
Another twin of the dislike of beets & olives… the beets taste like medicine and dirt mixed together.
Just looking at the gum made my mouth water.
I’m glad the 4 hour nap cured her of her sickness. :)
Kayla
I have tried the Sour Patch gum… it’s great! I like the red flavor (redberry I think).
Leah @ Dine n Dash Runners
SOUR PATCH KIDS GUM? Whaaaaat!! That is amazing. Please give me a full review once you get your hands on some.
Katie
I actually put the song I’m loving right now on my blog post today! :) Here’s the link: http://www.katiedidwhat.com/things-im-loving/
Love the new hat. And I don’t like beets either. They’re just… weird. But chickpeas I can definitely get behind! I always think the same thing when I have them on a salad at a restaurant, and then always forget to add them to my salads at home! That needs to change.
xo
Victoria @ brilliantVconfessions
Is it weird that I can’t think of any food I hate. I absolutely love olives! Probably my favorite and I love beets. I used to hate mushrooms but they are growing on me. I don’t like pate…but I have tried it. I have a policy of trying everything once.
Laura @ RunningJunkie
I absolutely hate olives! I also hate powdered or liquid cheese…..any cheese not in your standard block really skeeves me out.
Kimberly @ Healthy Strides
YES. Beets taste like dirt. I can handle them for about five bites and then it’s over. Plus, I think they look a little too much like organs to eat.
Beets are definitely on my least favorite food list. And organs.
Holly
I totally agree with you, beets taste like dirt! And I hate olives too. I’m sorry, I just don’t understand how people enjoy either of those things??!! I tried to overcome my hate for beets, and I added them to a salad last week. Oh my goodness, it took everything in me to not gag as I was eating my salad….never again!
I’m so glad Brooke is feeling better! Sick kids are exhausting! I always say that there is NOTHING worse than a sick child. It breaks your heart and makes life sad until they start to feel better!!
This Little Runner
Janae, you MUST listen to “Cannonball” by Lea Michele. I know you’ll love the song & lyrics, and I know whenever I listen to it, I kick up my pace. It’s SO GOOD!!!
sally @ sweat out the small stuff
I don’t like ham or ginger snap cookies
My friday night plans are top secret. ;)
Glitter in the air is one of my faves….I cry when I listen to it. It’s beautiful. I remember downloading the entire album from itunes back when it first came out and literally posted facebook status’ of just lyrics from that song.
I am loving that song “story of my life” by one direction lately.
MartinaNYC
Looks like Brooke is feeling much better! YAY!
I’m in love with “can’t hold us!” I was having a meh run yesterday and then this song started playing… my pace dropped by a whole minute ;)
Two foods I really despise: liver and duck
My plans for this Friday night: speed work and then sushi+movie in bed!
Chelsey
Like others ^, really dislike cilantro. Really wish Chipotle would take it out of their rice :D
On repeat on Spotify: “The Man” by Aloe Blacc (feel like this would be such a good cool down jam), “Do I Wanna Know?” by Arctic Monkeys, “Love Game” by Eminem/feat. Kendrick Lamar, and “All of Me” by John Legend
Brynne
I don’t know how true it is, but I’ve heard that there are two types of people, those who like cilantro (or who are fine with it being in their food), and those who think it tastes soapy and hate it and will not eat it in anything. Any truth to that?
Natalie
Beets totally taste like dirt!!
Ooohhhh SPK gum….I HAVE to find it!!
Courtney @ Don't Blink. Just Run.
That same chocolate bar company makes one with bacon. It’s heaven in your mouth.
That song is amazingly beautiful. I love it!
Sarah G.
SPK gum is THE BEST. I have been having out of control sour candy cravings (hello, pregnancy brain) and these have been a life saver!
I cannot stand black olives or water chestnuts.
Our plans got cancelled since my stepson is sick sooo Netflix it is!! I couldn’t be happier :) Have a great weekend!
runinboise
Yes, I think beets taste like dirt, too!!!! And I LOOOOOVE chickpeas on my salad. Preferably with ranch.

I don’t like olives eiiiither. yucko.
Have you seen her do that song at the awards show back in like 2009? It was incredible. Gives me chills!
Mmmm that gum sounds ahhhmazing!!
Michelle
least fave foods-
Olives, black pepper, carrots and cream cheese
Friday night plans- Treadmill time! been a very stressful first week of school so this is much needed
The SPK gum is the bees knees! I have the red kind and the flavor is pretty right on spot, but after about 30 minutes is gone
Nicole@thegirlwhoraneverywhere
I’m really not a picky eater- but I truly do not like liver..it just smells terrible. And although I’ve never actually eaten it-veal…I used to yell “baby cow killer” at my mom as a kid when she was eating it. (Not very nice, I know)
I also can’t really get on board with foods in cans…knowing that they are sitting in their little metal cases freaks me out! I’m all about the freshness!!:) (except chick peas bc I LOVE THEM on my salads, all day, everyday!!)
Friday night…nothing..I feel like I have a.p stomach bug so I’m taking it easy until tomorrow’s run!!:)
Michelle @ A Healthy Mrs
Songs that are currently taking over my brain: “For the First Time In Forever”, “Love is an Open Door”, and “Do You Want to Build a Snowman” from Frozen — I can’t get them out of my head! :)
Least favorite foods would have to be: anything with a slimy/mushy texture!
Brynne
I loooove beets! I bake them and then cut them up and eat them out of a tupperware container by themselves. In fact I have some in my fridge right now that I need to roast!!
I prefer to avoid oranges and bleu cheese, but in general I’m not a very picky eater :)
Susan
Foods I don’t like = peas, beets, and most cheeses (except mozarella and mild cheddar — swiss or bleu or parmesan don’t agree with my taste buds).
Exciting Friday night of watching a movie at home with my husband.
I am loving “Love Don’t Die” by the Fray.
Super glad Brooke is feeling better. Kids are SO resilient (thank God).
Nancy
what’s the matter with you beets are great, if done right!!!
Brussel sprouts and olives double yucky! Glad she is feeling better, can’t remember what a 4 hr nap feels like
Enjoy your weekend!
Amy @ crazysweatymommy
least favorite foods = alfredo sauce and brussel sprouts
alexis
the beets comments could not come at a better time, I got the beet salad last week to see if it was just my imagination the first 2 times, instead it was confirmed… they taste like dirt. gross.
Friday night= dinner with the bestie from out of town and then additional going out with the friends:) girls night out! Woohoo!
song I’m loving- beat of the music by bret eldrege
Jen@PregnantDiabetic
I just sent my husband a text to not come home without that gum. He knows better than to deny a pregnant woman her cravings!!
Beets = feet. Gross.
Leigha @ Minougirl
One time on Thanksgiving I took a huge bite of a cranberry ti find out it was a beet! YUCK! I hate beets! Another food I don’t like is steak. I just don’t like the texture or taste! Tonight I am going out to dinner with my grandma who leaves for Florida tomorrow!!
Caroline
sour patch kids gum?! that sounds amazing…anyone know where to find it? Also that is the most adorable picture of Brooke…sure looks like she’s feeling better :) Wouldn’t the world be such a wonderful place if we all took four hour long naps?!
Amanda
I love beets, sorry :) I don’t like cheese, raw peppers, raw onions.
Friday night = catch up on t.v. Yay!
Happy weekend.
Natalie Ririe
Actually I really do think beets taste like dirt AND I love them. I feel like they remind me of my Grandma and they connect me to the earth. Funny I guess but I feel good and happy when I have beets!!
Holly
Raisins and white chocolate. Yuck. Have you ever tried boiling beats and then buttering them? Delish! Have a great weekend!
Hannah @ PalmBeachRunner
lol, so no white chocolate dipped raisins for you?!
Holly
Haha…never!
Hannah @ PalmBeachRunner
Awww, I love that pin song! I used to listen to it on repeat too back when I first discovered it. There is something so soothing about it and it was just what I needed at that time.
Tonight we are going to a church event that involves Olympic games and dessert, I am pretty excited!
Cari
I am SO with you! I’ve always said I thought beets taste like dirt! One song I can’t get enough of lately is “Blessed” by Brett Dennen :)
Diana
Thank you for saying that about beets. I hate beets. I really really do. Off to listen to that new Pink song now. :)
Pam
haha Janae!!! I’m sending you some gum next week! Don’t buy it k?! k!! ;) Funny because I was thinking the SAME thing…swedish fish gum would be amazing!! Let’s start a campaign! ;)
Looks like you had a really fun night! :) love ya!!!
Brittney @ Sweets 'N' Greens
Olives and beets are pretty high up on my list of least favorite foods too! I got a juicer a couple months ago and tried making beet juice but felt like I was sipping on dirt and had to throw it away haha.
Christina
Sleep does wonders!! So glad she’s feeling better. Love those hats. I love beets and olives but I also wanted to eat dirt when I was pregnant with my 3rd. I didn’t but craved it. I’ll stick to beets. Not a sour patchy kinda gal love me some jr mints gonna have tonight when I go see gravity.
Katie
Ah! You went to Cannellas! Pretty much my favorite place.
Liz @ Carpe Diem and Run
I’m loving the songs “Say Something” and “Before the Morning” :)
Tiffany Dutson
Timber by Pitbull
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan
I could go for a 4 hour nap about now.
I can’t handle the smell of canned tuna. And black licorice is gross.
Tonight is pizza and relaxing – it’s finally Friday!
I really like the John Mayer song “Wildfire” right now.
Lindsey @ Run Freckles Run
Two least favorite foods?
Mushrooms…that’s all I can think of
What are your Friday night plans?
Relaxation, hanging with friends, and HEALING so I can get back to marathon training ASAP!
Ashley@cupcakesncrunches
Loving Katy Perry’s roar song!
Christie @ Run. Love. Hate
Yes! Beets taste like dirt.
Losing Lindy
we are having a crappy week over here weather wise..we might not leave the inside of our house all weekend
Hannah
I loveee beets lol! Maybe make sure they’re washed well? And cooked well enough! Hard beets do taste funny lol. Then I add lemon juice and salt and they taste great! :D
Molly Callister @ Fresh Basil For Two
Yes, beets DO taste like dirt!! I try to juice them sometimes but I just can’t get through even 12 ounces if there are beets in it. Yuck!
