I’m glad they put up with me.
A little exploration at the Tracy Aviary in SLC and Brooke said, ‘chirp chirp’ a million times.
The looks on their faces make me very happy.
Wendy’s isn’t that bad:)
A little walking around Temple Square.
The coolest bike we have ever seen.
It isn’t physically/mentally/emotionally possible for Brooke to walk by a water fountain and not want to stop and play.
I think I am all ready for fall now.
“Nothing haunts us like the things we didn’t buy” I guess I am driving back up north because of the poor decision I made to not buy these yesterday.
That fun little bump growing on the outside of my arm is the souvenir that I took with me from my trail run yesterday morning.
Sidenote (aka my whole blog): see the freckle box on my arm? My sister has the EXACT same one (size and placement) on her arm.
A workout that I can’t wait to try out!

My sentence is: Packing stinks when you are sore.
It looks like you are enjoying yourself Janae. I actually like Wendy’s salads a lot. I used to get them a lot more when I was working nearby and didn’t want to drive anywhere. I also really like Wendy’s chicken nuggets the best.
There isn’t anything I regret not buying lately (shockingly).
Rebecca@Runningfoodbaby
I eat at McDonalds far too often :-)
I’m going to Trader Joe’s tomorrow! Must stock up on all the good things

No more excuses!!
Seeing that guy (running with crutches) IS amazing!!!! Thank you!
Michele @ paleorunningmomma
Sentence of the day is I have my long run on the brain! I’m nearing the peak of my training and I’m obsessed with it and can’t concentrate on much else. Also, I need to stay away from Trader Joe’s! Stuff looks too good there.
Ashley @ Kickashmom
My sister and I have the exact same freckle on our cheek. My brothers have it too.
Karien @ Running the Race
Looks like an amazing day! Love that bike, haha!
Kristina @ Blog About Running
Wow that man on crutches is really amazing! He must have SO much upper body strength!
Last thing I regret not buying was a shirt at the portland marathon expo. I figured the finisher’s shirt would be enough but it is too big. I hope they end up putting some shirts for sale online!
Amanda @ Slimplify Life

….99.9% of the time I go back to check, it’s off.

Sentence: What you focus on expands.
I have been wanting to go to Trader Joes and stock up for MONTHS now! After your pictures I want to go even more!
We went to a Spangles on our drive home earlier this week and I had their chili. It was basically a huge bowl of meat with salt. Definitely wouldn’t recommend it.
Happy Friday! :)

Brynn
My one sentence for today is one day at a time!
Monica
I’m too much of a shopping addict to have regrets about what I DIDN’T buy, lol…
I bought the cutest pair of brown suede boots for my little girl last night… they are seriously the cutest things ever.
Flower
I have hundreds of peacocks in my neighborhood and even an emu.
The peacocks actually peck on my door every morning so I’ll come feed them and there are 4 of them who actually run with me on a regular basis. It’s the coolest thing ever.
Natalie @ Never Serious Blog
The last restaurant I went to was called Salsa Fuego. It’s a little hole in the wall Mexican place that is INCREDIBLE.
Thanks for the article on speed without extra mileage, my problem so often is finding the TIME for longer runs during the week!
Happy Friday!
meredith @ The Cookie ChRUNicles

My sentence of the day (so far): What’s for lunch?

Watching the local news saw local runner Conner Callihan. It has also been posted on Runner’s World. Determination to finish his race! Went home yesterday after having surgery Tuesday.
Kristen @ Glitter and Dust
Officially cleaning out my closet and pulling out my winter wardrobe. The rainy gloomy day has inspired me.
Amy N
Is that bike something you can rent? We are coming to Utah for general conference in April and my cycling loving family would adore it!
Jasmine @ a cupcake for my thoughts
OMG they cookie butter cups?!! Where have they been all my life? If I ever see those here in England, I will immediately buy them! Last fast food place was Domino’s. I had my best friend over and we ordered lots of pizza, didn’t even feel guilty about it since it tasted so good! That guy is amazing, makes my excuses sound pathetic!! Have a great weekend :)
tess
That’s crazy about the freckles!
My mom has a birthmark on her leg, my daughter has the same on in the same spot and her son has a slightly smaller one…in the same spot.
Irina
WHERE do I find myself a bike like that?! Too cool…
Hmm last thing I regretted not buying was a gorgeous silk top I found at T.J. Maxx. This was months upon months ago and I didn’t buy it because of price but I’ve never stopped thinking about it!
Heidi
I stockpiled 7 jars of that Pumpkin butter—I am SO addicted to it–especially on Granny Smith apples. Also, with that Pumpkin bread mix, I used a container of lowfat yogurt instead of the eggs, oil and water and they were delicious!! (The chocolate chips I threw in also helped!! lol)
Erin @ Her Heartland Soul
Omg dark chocolate cookie butter cups?! I need these in my life! Happy Friday!
Michelle Kim
I will be going trail running today! Hope I don’t get a bug bite o__O
Cool freckle box, and how interesting that your sister has the same one!
Elizabeth Palmer
That “freckle box” thing is funny. My mom’s twin and I have the same birth mark – shape/size/place, etc. What on earth?? And get that arm checked out by the way…
Christina
I am in awe of that man on crutches…inspiring me even more to show up to the start line to my first full!
Ashley @ A Lady Goes West
Hi! Happy Friday to you! This is a fun post. I’ve already gone over one sentence, but I haven’t had fast food in forever, but I believe a Burger King salad was the last thing I ate there. It wasn’t terrible.
Emma @ Life's A Runner
That workout looks terrifying…I’m going to let you test that one out first before attempting it. ;)
I would love to go trail running, but I just need to find some way to get afternoon running motivation! Because dark morning solo trail running = no thank you.
Annie @ What's Annie Making
Oh my gosh! Brooke’s little dress and boots are so cute. I think I need to find them in my size ;)
My sentence would be “hydrating for races makes me go to the bathroom 100 times a day” Haha!
And I think I need to make a TJ’s trip to find those speculoos cups!!!!
Elena
When we were relocating we stopped at Wendy’s while on the road trip down to Atlanta. I’m plant based so go the baked potato!
Sentence of the day – “I’m so happy it’s Friday”!
I regret not grabbing the avocado at Sprouts last night – I was holding out for my Costco trip this weekend but really wish I had avocado for my sandwich today!
Leslie @ Life Begins @ 30?
One of my friend’s has a little boy who went through a phase where he said “tweet, tweet” all the time. Reading “chirp, chirp” made me laugh.
Nervous about tomorrow’s race. -my sentence of the day.
runinboise
At my 5K Saturday there was a lady that completed it on crutches. So Bad A$$! I think Wendy’s has the BEST fast food salads. And they are huge!
Rachel @ Blonde with a Chanse
I want to try the pumpkin butter! Yummy!!! The last fast food restaurant that I went to was Firehouse subs (does that count as fast food?) and I had the chicken, bacon, ranch sub. So good!!!
Melissa @ Mel's Miles
Looks like fun!!! I need those cookie butter cups and that baked potato!!!!
jade
My sentence: I’m in Canada, it’s October, and it’s not snowing!! Woooooot!
Peacocks are so cool! I was at a resort in Jamaica once and they were everywhere! Lots of fountains too…(wondering how you keep Brooke out of those fountains.)
The man running on crutches is just totally amazing!
Grace @chasinggracedaily.blogspot.com
that workout looks KILLER! I’m still sore from a core workout i conquered the other day. I think the soreness is telling me that it’s been too long since I’ve focused on my core.
I ALWAYS regret not buying the big thing of peanut butter. I always tell myself “no way that size will for sure last me the week” the week ends and I’m scraping the bottom….
Leigha @ The Yooper Girl
Oh man… that workout looks killer!!! It’s probably a good think the nearest TJ’s is 4 hours away from me or else I would literally buy everything in the store.
Sentence today… Pasta night and last day of taper!!
Kaci @ Running the Next Step
I’m trying to think of something I’ve regretted not buying lately but I’m coming up blank. Apparently I just buy everything that I want.
I had Pizza Hut the other night. Both the boyfriend and I got off work late and there was no way either of us were cooking.
Kate @RunTrueLove
My sentence of the day… My first trail ultra marathon is in 1 week! EEK!
I love Trader Joe’s. I’m so thankful there is one about .5 mile from my condo. :)
I super regret not buying the pumpkin macarons yesterday. They are amazing!
Two nights ago I had a delicious bowl of rare steak pho from a local Vietnamese restaurant!
Love that the kids had a great time at the Tracy Aviary!
Kelli
My sentence of the day: It’s the WEEKEND and I’m going to Jackson Hole (again)! Woo hoo!
I have regretted not buying those very same cookie butter cups! Although I am not a huge dark chocolate fan. But still. They look delicious.
Last food restaurant was Fenton’s in Oakland. Did you ever go when you lived in the Bay Area? It is a must after going to the Oakland Temple.
Amy @ Life to the Full
My sentence of the day: The day started with a nice early morning run and now I should really take a nap with my toddler!
Those cookie butter cups look delicious!!! Love dark chocolate… and peanut butter… and cups? I’m not sure if Panera drive-thru counts as fast food. It was fast and it was food. LOVE Panera!
Daisy @ Fit Wanderlust Runner
My sentence of the day: I wish I didn’t loose my ID on my morning run today…the day before I go to a beer festival! :(
Mary Jo @ Run and Smile
My sentence is ” Thank goodness it is FRIDAY!”
The last fast food was Chipotle! I love their food loaded with guacamole!
Denise
I regret not buying the Brooks Ghost 7 at the running store a few weeks ago! They fit perfectly and I loved them so much, but I settled on a slightly less expensive New Balance shoe.
I’m sure my last fast food I had was Chipotle since I eat there about twice a week–so delicious. :)
Kathy McElhaney
2 sentences:
Long run tomorrow
Fly to Hawaii on Sunday!
Last fast food – Five Guys.
Haleigh @ The Hipster Runner
I had Chick-fila the other day! I love their chicken sandwich and waffle fries unfortunately since I rarely eat fast food, I felt like I had the worst hangover in the history of forever off of it! Lol.
Fiona @ Get Fit Fiona
The last restaurant I went to was a pub where I got a Thai chicken flat bread and a Corona. The flatbread was so good!
Katie
I hope your arm is okay. I am so confused about which part is the bump and which part is normal arm (can’t figure out what part of your arm we’re looking at!!), but it looks kinda serious!
Have a great weekend.
Holly
Really regretting not buying a great coat I tried on last weekend! Sometimes I feel guilty when I buy the first item I like as opposed to looking and trying lots of items, so that’s why I held off. Going back to get it on Sunday :)
Kendra
I took a tumble on the trail in July & ended up with a huge bump in the exact spot yours is! Definitely thought I broke my arm for a minute. The bump JUST went away a few weeks ago. It took forever to completely go down! Darn tree roots jumped up & tripped me, didn’t even see it coming ;)
PeachyLau
My sentence: TGIF
Alisha @ Real Food Running
I adore Brooke’s grey dress and boots outfit!
The last fast food restaurant I went to was Subway, and I had a turkey and ham on multigrain, with extra salad vegies and avocado. Yum!
My sentence of the day – it’s a toss up between ‘TGIF!’ and ‘Bring on spring!’ :)
Linda @ the Fitty
Your life always looks awesome.
Jen Shaw
Ha! I just bought those cookie butter cups. The best! Have you tried the coconut dark chocolate almonds? Just as amazing!!! Don’t pass them up ;-)
LeAnne @ This is my faster!
Fall weather has finally reached Florida!!!!
That story about Larry Chloupek is amazing!!!! So motivating (especially because he is faster with one leg on crutches than I am on two legs). Inspirational!
Brenda @ Don't Lose the Trail
My sentence: pizza rights a week’s worth of wrongs.
Your arm looks pretty swollen, I hope it doesn’t hurt too badly!
Sam @ The Running Graduate
Bird aviaries are my favorite! I love the Macaws :)
The last fast food place I went to was Subway. I had a great buffalo chicken sub with lots of veggies!
Jenn@Mark My Miles!
My sentence: Why do I always run out of pb so fast in this house?!
Heading to a fall festival tomorrow with a bouncy house and excited for my son (and Me) to do it for our first time together!!!
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan
Cookie butter cups!?! Excuse me, I have to go to Trader Joe’s now…
I found a dress at Target that I totally talked myself out of, and then had to go back the next day to get it. I couldn’t stop thinking about it!
Aine @ Awkward Irish Girl Blogs
Cookie butter cups??? They sound like foil-wrapped heaven.
The last fast-food place I visited was a chipper I went to last weekend – it was the only place open when we reached the city! Got a snack box, it’s a classic – two pieces of chicken with chips (liberal salt and vinegar being a must).
Kelly
Amazing fall run!
