Friday Favorites and my marathon shoes have arrived!!!

I have worn Asics Nimbus since 2006. I love them.

I usually wash my hair 4-5 times per week. Just depends on the week.

Favorite thing about Friday…um, that it’s Friday! Best day of the week! I can’t believe Boston is in a little over a week!? I’m so excited for you!

I’m still trying to figure out which shoes I am wearing for Boston. Giving a pair a test run again today. They aren’t new, just not sure which are my favorites! Is Brooke and Mom going to Boston with you?
Friday is my day off, so I enjoy running and getting some errands done.

Boston shoes: Saucony Kinvara!
I know it’s too often but I wash my hair daily. I have to after running.
Fave Friday: I have a dinner date with my husband tonight since tomorrow is a taper long run. :)
I am pumped for the serial to return!!!

I’m dying for more Serial! I typically wash my hair 4-5 times per week :) my favorite thing about today is that at 5:00 PM I’m free until Monday morning! Woohoo!

the fact that it is Friday is great enough!

I was JUST thinking about how its been a while since my last crepe… need to fix that.

I wash my hair 5-6x a week. Def give my scalp one night off at least. But my hair isn’t too pretty when it’s not clean. I can’t pull it off like some gals!

Love your new kicks! So excited for you!!

I have a pair of Brooks Ravenna ready for Boston with about 40 miles on them.

*I usually run/race in Pearl Izumi’s but I recently got ON running shoes with cloud technology, they are literally like running on clouds :) I’m obsessed!
*I have to wash my hair everyday. And as I was getting into the shower this morning I almost just sprayed it with dry shampoo and moved on with my day but knew I’d regret it in about an hour when it looks horrible. lol
*Friday is another day off and another day with my little girl. She has preschool and I’ll grocery shop, nothing overly exciting today :)
*I’ve never listened to Serial

I run with the Brooks PureFlow 3s now and plan to upgrade to the 4s later this month … please post a review!

I wash my hair on Sunday afternoons after my long run, Tuesday night and Friday morning.

Favorite thing about my Friday (so far): Leftover pizza for breakfast!

I listened to Serial, but to me, the best part about it was Sarah Koenig. If she’s not the voice of this version, I probably won’t be as obsessed with it. I will give it a chance, though.

I have to wash my hair every single day. It gets super gross if I don’t!
How many miles do you try to put on your shoes before running a race? I’m always afraid to get new shoes before a race…

I have really thick, coarse hair, so I can get away with washing it once a week. It looks just as good as if I had washed it the day before.

My favorite thing about Friday is that my husband Daniel is coming home. He’s been gone almost a week and I miss him so much!

I never listened to Serial, but I must start to see what the fuss is about!

Love your shoes! So excited for you!

Oh I thought you were going to run in the lobster ones. Haha. Both shoes look super nice.!!
Tulips are so pretty.! Glad it’s spring.
And my favorite thing about Fridays is how much of a good mood everyone is in :) I work Saturday so not really my “friday”

I am totally excited for the new serial! I hope it’s good; it has a lot to live up to :) Also I loooove restaurants that have samples when you order… so fun!!

I am going on like four days without washing my hair right now!! I always go at least 2-3 because of the nature of my hair but the weather has been RAINY and HUMID all week so it just wasn’t worth any extra effort to wash and fix it (it takes forever to dry, even blow drying). The best part is that I get the most compliments on my hair the longer I go…no idea why I bother at all ;) Dry shampoo and great smelling hair products are life savers! My husband actually told me this morning how awesome my hair smells LOL

On a totally different topic, I am not usually that into marathons but I watched the documentary “Run for your Life” (story of Frank Lebow, who started the NYC marathon) and it was SO good. He was kind of an unusual person LOL but it was awesome to see how road running has developed over the last 30 years and how the NYC marathon grew. I know you are doing BOSTON next week but it still got me so pumped up for you and the other runners!! I will be praying you stay injury free and just have an amazing race :-D

I am STOKED for Serial’s return! I agree, it completely took over my life back in the fall!

My hair gets washed maybe 3x a week. Meh.

SO EXCITED ABOUT SERIAL!!! I hadn’t heard about that until I just read it here.

I love when the flowers start to bloom!! Those tulips are beautiful

I wash my hair twice a week and just use dry shampoo as needed between washings. According to my hair stylist this is the right way to do it.

Anyone who thinks they need to wash their hair more frequently: you have to train your hair to wash it less often. When you shampoo you hair it strips away the natural oils on your scalp, and then your body says, “oh hey there’s no oil left I better produce more.” The more frequently you wash your hair the more oil your scalp will produce. If you can get through a week of dirty hair, your body will start to learn that it doesn’t need to produce as much oil. Then your hair will be less greasy and you won’t need to wash it as frequently.

I am excited for Serial again! There is just way to many unanswered questions. I’ve been transitioning to Brooks. Used to be all about Mizuno but needed more cushion. So far no complaints.

Am I the only one who saw that picture and heard her mother’s voice screaming, “I JUST WASHED THAT WINDOW DON’T GET FINGERPRINTS ALL OVER IT!”? Yes? Okay.

What makes a shoe a “Marathon shoe”? Anything special or is it just because you’re wearing them for the marathon and not your usual shoes…?

I am SOO beyond excited about Serial. I felt like a lot of things were left in the air and I need closure. Personally, I think he is innocent.

Those brownies would probably lead to skip dinner altogether and head straight to dessert. YUM!

I am all about running in my Brooks Glycerin. They fit my running style and gait well. I will be curious to see if pregnancy changes my gate at all, as I have heard that some women have had to switch shoes because of the changes to their bodies? Any experiences with this?

Favorite thing about my Friday… it’s Friday, it’s warm and sunny, and I have a full day to play!

I love running in Mizuno Wave Riders.. and I’m one of those weirdos who loves the new ones every year.

I wash my hair 2-3 times a week. Half the reason I’ve let my hair get long is so I can get away with this :)

It’s Friday…. and I’m heading to Moab!

Good luck with Boston!!

Crepes for dinner and dessert, now that’s a genius idea! Yay for the weekend! I’m heading off to teach a BODYATTACK class right now and plan to go out for sushi tonight. A very good day! :)

I wash my hair now 2 to 3x a week and my husband is absolutely disgusted. He washes his 1 to 2x a day. His hair is about 1/2 inch long and uses both shampoo and conditioner on that hair. My girls are 1x a week, their swim days. Hubby is unaware that not all of their showers involve hair washing. As for the sweet potatoes and BBQ. You have created a fan in me and my family just stares. I make it with a spinach, kale, loads of other veggies and a whole sweet potatoe. I made these veggie burgers that my kids completely rejected. They are surprisingly good in that salad. I am trying to cut down on my sugary cravings that I got from the stress of moving in Oct. BBQ sauce somehow helps!!

I am running Boston in New Balance Zante.

I wash my hair once a week. I have the driest hair ever and it literally does not need anything more than that. And because fast showers = life.

My husband and I had our first real date at a crepe restaurant, so crepes are always near to my heart! True story: After our entrees, we were too full for dessert, but my now-husband said, “Well, I’m full, but dessert here is so good we just have to get it anyway,” and I thought, “Hmm. He just might be the one for me.”
So exciting to get your race shoes! I like racing in my Kinvaras, although I’ve done some shorter distances in the Mizuno Musha (sadly, now discontinued). Most of my PRs, though, are in Kinvaras.

You can run in brand new shoes when your marathon is a week away? I always figured that I would have to get my new shoes at the beginning of my training so that I had time to acclimate to them and I didn’t end up with any surprises.

I recently switched from Brooks to Asics, but after running in them a couple times I keep getting shin splints. The Asics are a little more minimalist than I am used to and I thought I would adapt, but that doesnt seem to be the case. I am going to take them back and see about switching back to Brooks which is good bc I felt like a traitor anyway haha.

Right now I’m wearing my New Balance Glow 1400 (they glow in the dark!!) which are racing-flats that can withstand a little more pounding than traditional racing flats.

I wash my hair everyday. I don’t think I could function if I didn’t! LOL

Today…is the day before my birthday!!!

And now I want crepes! And mint brownies! ;)

Those tulips are so beautiful! One of the many things I miss about spring in Utah (the random snow is NOT one of those things ;))…

I love my Brooks pure cadences so much that I’ve convinced 3 other people to try on Brooks shoes and find a model they like lol I should be a spokesperson. Now they’ve all converted and don’t have feet issues.
Today last day of my kids spring break boo!
Gonna be 63 at beach which is cold for me but kids don’t mind as long as they can play football and run around. So beach it is.

Those shoes are gorgeous! I miss wearing Brooks. I used to wear them but something about me feet didn’t agree with them. My podiatrist had me switch to Mizunos. I’m at home wearing them! They’re my favorite. But Brooks will always have my heart even if I can’t wear them anymore.

Now you have me thinking I should wear my new shoes for my half marathon in 9 days. My “old” shoes have 130 miles on them, which is a little less than half dead in my book. Held up great for a 13 mile run last week. Hmmmm

I am very excited about the new Serial but I haven’t finished the current season.

I’m loyal to Mizuno. Right now I wear the Wave Inspire 10 but I get fitted every so often to see if I need less support since that seems to be my trend. I’m hoping someday I can wear the Wave Riders but right now I need the support of the Inspires.

I don’t know if you’ve seen it yet, but I thought you may enjoy this video in prep for Boston :)

I recently tried Mizuno shoes and ran my last marathon in them. They were okay, but I just love my brooks more. I switched back and am in feet heaven!

Was obsessed with serial. I got so many people to listen to it! Can’t wait for this new podcast to start!

Yay for getting your marathon shoes!!! I still need to try BBQ sauce on sweet potatoes :) It sounds so good!!!

To go with that picture of Brook, if you have her smush her face like that, and take a close up pic, then put as the background on your phone, it looks like she is stuck in your phone…

Worth a try!

I am so excited about Serial resuming! Yippee!

I love Pureflows for racing especially since I discovered the best way to tie them for my footsies. I only wash my hair once a week cuz I be a baller like that. My favorite thing about my Friday so far is that it is a gorgeous day and I am sipping on the best breve.

Random babble: I chopped off 12 inches of my hair last night. Eek. It was invigorating though. I was proud of myself for not getting emotional about my hair, too (yep, puttin’ my big girl pants on).

Love the photo of Brooke at door pressing her face. Kids are so unintentionally hilarious/sweet.

How many times a week do you typically wash your hair lately?
4-5 times. The pic of “The hardest thing about being single is finding a reason to shower” is too funny. Also is one of the hardest things when injured and not able to workout. A shower? Without having done some serious sweating? Strange!

Favorite thing about your Friday? This cup of shredded carrots, jicama, and cucumber with salt and chile pequin I’m munching on. Also made it to the next step in my Mexican work visa process. Poco a poco.

If you change that quote about being single to, “The hardest thing about being a mom is finding the energy to shower” then I am right there with you today. ;) Rockin’ shoes. Happy weekend!

How many times a week do you typically wash your hair lately? 2-3

Favorite thing about your Friday? Lunch with my brother, we do it every Friday we can.

Who listened to Serial? Who is excited for it to start up on Monday again? Not I. Don’t know what that is. ?

My favorite shoes are the Asics Gel Kayano’s, they feel like fluffy pillows! I wash my hair typically 3-4 times per week. I don’t really have a set number of how many times, I just wash it when it feels greasy or if I got especially sweaty while working out. Here in Arizona it is getting very hot already so during the summer I start washing my hair more often. My favorite thing about Friday is that it is simply Friday which means the weekend is here!!! Woohoo! I have never listened to Serial but know that it has a cult following.

Those tulips looks gorgeous!

When you are in Boston for the marathon you need to take a trip to Kane’s Handcrafted Donuts, you will not be disappointed!!

I wash my hair Tuesdays and Thursdays after hard workouts, and then usually both days of the weekend.
Funny story: I lack almost all motivation to shower (not just wash my hair, but shower at all) when there is no running in my life. After my last marathon I had two weeks off scheduled and (after the first post-marathon shower of course) it took me 5 days to finally take one again…gross.

Love your new shoes! I wash my hair every day…wahhhh. I some times dry shampoo when I’m feeling lazy on the weekends but still want to look halfway decent.

Oh man! I’m soo excited for Serial! Monday is by b-day (32…holy crap!), so I’m 99% sure I will be asking for a slice of Asphalt Pie to eat listening to the new podcast in my pajamas, while the mister does bathtime and bedtime duty. Yep, I’m pretty cool in my old age, haha!

Your shoes! Love! Seriously!

I wash my hair like every 4-5 days :/ Should I have admitted that…?

I wash my hair 7-10 times per week. Every morning (my curls don’t look right after being slept on). And possibly twice in one day if I attend late day Bikram yoga or Zumba.

I’m a Mizuno girl but those shoes are pretty! I am literally counting down the hours until Monday. I can not wait for the new podcast! I could run for hours and hours listening to Serial!

What are your favorite shoes to wear for a race?
Half-marathons: Hoka Bondi, if running a 5k/10k then I like the New Balance 890’s

How many times a week do you typically wash your hair lately?
Every other day is the minimum. I have tried to wash it less, but then I get a greasy/smelly/itchy hot mess on my head.

Favorite thing about your Friday?
I GOT A SHOUT OUT FROM JANAE ON TODAY’S BLOG! WOOT!!! I am the recent sweet potato & BBQ sauce convert. This seriously made my day, other than the fact that actually got a great run in this morning cause my legs finally decided to move when I told them to.

Who listened to Serial? Who is excited for it to start up on Monday again?
Meeeee! It got me through some tough training runs this winter. Can’t wait to see what’s in store!

My favorite racing shoes are Saucony Fastwitch. I only wash my hair twice a week – Thursday and Sunday. :)

That baby is too cute!!!! And your ham crepe looks amazing!

I love walking into a restaurant and seeing they have food to sample before you order. It makes me so happy!

Your shoes look great, BUT the little baby feet photo-bomb really make the picture a gem!
