Silent Saturday and my new favorite video ever.

I tried to join Brooke on the couch when we got to the gym but she pushed me off and told me to go run.  So I did.  4 miles.

She loves to pick a snack out to eat while I run… yesterday she wanted some plain toasted oats to munch on?

She joined in on the jump squats afterwards.

This type of foam roller make every muscle in my body cry for help.

Her feet currently grow 2 sizes a week so we went shoe shopping for some new kicks.

And then we picked up some cupcakes for the…

Brooke went to bed at my mom’s house and I went with the man to one of our favorites… Wild Zucchini.  Their pasta bowls are legit.

Turns out it is never too cold for froyo.

Although, I don’t think we would hate being near the ocean again…

and eating hotel waffles and eggs in our pjs.

This video of my nephew makes me laugh so ridiculously hard.  He is quite the comedian! 

Oh and I never posted my best nine on Instagram so I will on here instead… good memories.  Boston won.

I loved seeing everyone’s best nine! Saturday plans are a long-ish run on the treadmill (it’s super cold and windy out), relaxing with the family and maybe a movie tonight!

Your nephew is too cute! How did you do the Instagram thing? Did you just select pics yourself?

Your pictures always make me hungry! 10 in the cold wind and then two hours on the trails tomorrow. Tappering for my 10 miler in a few weeks. Eeek!

Saturday plans are some alone time for recipe creation while Adam takes the kids out! 10 miles done early so I’m in a good mood. And the kids with their shoes! It’s impossible to keep up with 3 of them.

A friends baby shower and a movie today! Long run tomorrow so I’ll rest up today and spend time with the ones I love. Those pasta dishes look amazing!!! Enjoy your Saturday!

We’ve got a lot of errands and shopping planned today. Trying to decide if my girls are big enough for bunk beds to make room for little brother. I’m still not sure.

My Saturday plans are a 15-mile run and then watching the football playoffs with some friends. :)

We all try to get so much done on Saturdays oh yes. I have my long run today, 11 miles, not sure if it will be indoors or out because the snow is arriving in 2 hours and I’m still waiting for my breakfast to digest, so it may be a half indoors/half outdoors kinda run. Then strength training and yoga to round out the day. Paint my nails and watch a movie is the rest of my list for today!
Have a great day! :)

What a fun sweets filled day! I love your best 9 on instagram.

I have a church thing this morning then hopefully I’ll be able to come home run, grocery shop, and get some work done this afternoon!

Happy Saturday

Saturday plans include hopefully a long run (Boston training!). YAYAYAYAY!

Your nephew is so cute! That foam roller looks like a torture device. I bet it works wonders. Have you tried the Roll Recovery – R8? Best tool ever. Saturday’s plans…
-Up way too early with a 4-month old going through a sleep regression. Yawn.
-90 minutes on the bike trainer
-Outing in the snow with the family
-Lots of football!

That video is so cute!! Made me smile.

Plans for today are very exciting….errands, cleaning, relaxing, and catching up on some writing and work. Hopefully I’ll get a good workout in there somewhere too!

Happy Saturday!

That foam roller hurts so good!! Love-hate relationship for sure, ha! I usually get some back cracks from it too if it roll it up my back. Saturday for me is not that exciting. Im going into work, we have some deadlines to meet by Monday.

Happy Saturday!

I enjoyed seeing people’s “best 9” photos.

That’s too funny about Brooke picking out snacks to munch on while you are running. It’s actually even funnier she pushed you out to go for a run.

I’ve been in desperate need of foam rolling lately. My quads are tight which is something that never happens.

Rest and relaxation on the schedule today — so thankful to finally be home and chill :)

Have a great weekend!!

Omg that is SO cute that he thought to do that! I love when kids realize something makes you laugh, so they keep doing it over and over!

Reply

Brooke is a great motivator! :P I have the mini version of that foam roller and it’s no joke. The video of your nephew is so funny! I love how he’s trying to make everyone else laugh…he’s going to have a great personality.

My Saturday included 9 AM barre class and will also include a birthday run with my running partner. It always amazes me when people want to run on their birthdays.

P.S. You got me addicted to KeVita, Janae! I usually only drink water, but it’s so good and since it’s healthy I can justify drinking it every day!

A little over 6 trail miles this morning with friends, this afternoon will be spent moving firewood and doing yoga.

That pasta bowl looks amazing!

That video of your nephew is adorable! I’m surprised my daughter hasn’t figured out how to do that yet since she loves having water on her face. As soon as we get in the tub she just face dives immediately.

This weekend I am doing a little bit of shopping ? and some running. Four easy miles today for my long run. Starting small over here! Then tomorrow I am parking my tush in front of the TV my MIL recorded the Harry Potter marathon over Christmas so I’m going to indulge.

PS sorry about my first comment that happens sometimes when I try to comment on my iPad through Bloglovin’.

Spinning class this morning! It had been a while… great teacher, great songs, great start of the day ;-) I’m with you on the shoes issue : I had to change my 6yo’s winter boots, school snickers and soccer shoes all in the same week ;-)

Your nephew is too much! And you have the most photogenic family. Enjoy your weekend!

My best 9 was completely dominated by Boston too this year haha!

Go run, Mom, the girl needs some couch time on her own. Too cute…

I despise that foam roller, I get bruises for days from that torture device.

Ran 8.25 with my buddies this morning. Some errands and I promised my husband
I would bake a cake.

My plans today included a 5K Parkrun (with a new PR) and shopping in the sales for a North Face jacket! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Just ran the Polar Dash Half Marathon! First race of 2016!

Rest of my Saturday plans include lounging around on the couch … Baking cookies … And a House Hunters reunion party tonight!

Happy Weekend!!

That foam roller looks intense! I am heading to the gym soon to run a few on the treadmill. Weather.com says it feels like -14 here in Minneapolis so I’m not even gonna try to run outside!

Happy birthday to your gorgeous niece!

I’ve never seen a foam roller like that!…I really hope those knobby things are soft and squishy. :)

I spent most of my Saturday morning running, stretching, icing, showering, and eating… now it’s 3pm but it feels like mid-morning to me! The only other thing I have planned today is a little homework and baking.

So I found a marathon in 6 weeks that starts and ends literally 1.5 minutes from my house and goes through my university campus… I really want to do it, but I just ran a marathon Sunday! I know that’s a short time between marathons, but I think I’m going to try to get ready to run it just for fun, without a time goal – and if it turns out my body isn’t ready for it, I’ll just do the half.

Reply

Very good plan! In 2013 I ran a marathon every month, which is totally doable as long as you have no time goal and you are racing for fun. If you are feeling any nagging aches and pains from your last marathon, I would definitely say do the 1/2.

I had to work a couple of hours this morning so I was up early. We have got to get down the outdoor Christmas lights – Yikes! I think maybe dinner and movie tonight!

Reply

Love all the pictures!! We are just hanging out today and getting some things done around the house. Ofcourse, I did start the day with a body pump class!

Reply

I ran 3 trail miles this morning. Walks a few trail miles with the dog this afternoon. Tonight I’m meeting my friend for sushi. It’s nice that the holiday commitments are over and I can do my own thang!

I had a great Saturday. Slept in and had toast with Nutella & strawberries on one piece, then banana and peanut butter on the other. Hubby and I love this as a treat on weekends. Then we caught up with some old family friends at my mums house which was nice. Last night we watched the revenant – I love Leo but I couldn’t watch it! Too dark and violent for me. Xx

Reply

Come make toast for me… both options sound delicious!!! So glad you were able to catch up with some old family friends, that is the best! Oh, I love Leo too!

Reply

Plan on watching football and stretching after a beautiful run!

Reply

Brooke is the best! Pushes you off the couch and says go run, so cute!!

Reply

I think you just made my legs cry with that foam roller picture! :)

Reply

Haha! Can Brooke come motivate me to run on the days where I just don’t want to? :)

Ahhh those cupcakes look AMAZING! :)
