-Any new workout attire/gear makes me excited to work out… even just socks.
-Stairclimber today—> To make it even harder try to only loosely hold on to the side bars or the screen in front of you and use them mainly for balance… the less you are using your arms to hold you up the harder your legs/heart will have to work.
-I tinted my eyebrows and between that and fake eyelashes I don’t think I will ever wear makeup again (well, besides lip gloss because that is a necessity at all times).
-More snow because I guess if it is going to be cold it might as well snow.
-Catch up with Jess and her new little man too… Brooke was really happy about it.
-Brooke and I split the cookie from our dreams (Swig for the win… it’s a drive thru too so we don’t even have to go out in the cold to have one.
-Has anyone tried this yet because I need confirmation that it is as good as it sounds before I buy it?!
***Extremely important chocolate chip information—> the coconut oil ones look the best to me!
-Where I’m at right now… just the usual winter hangout.
-Here are the jams I’ve been listening to lately… some new, some from way back when and some random.

Yes on the dressing! My sister just included it in my monthly care package from traders since we don’t have one where I live now…it’s really good
The Hungry Runner Girl
AHHH thanks for letting me know Kary!!! So sweet that your sister does that for you!
Kandi A
You MUST download St. Lucia “Dancing on Glass.” So catchy!
Sarah @ SarahRuns26
I’m so bad about listening to new songs. I go with all my old favorites (which you’d think I’d be sick of by now!)
I’m with you, the coconut oil ones look awesome! Favorite salad dressing, Italian. But that sweet onion and bacon one looks awesome!
Sentence for the day…its muddy outside so no run outdoors! Treadmill and The Bachelor for me tonight! (I’m behind on the bachelor, nothing special airing tonight!)
Cate
I start listening to new ones but always go back to the old favorites!
Cate
I have to agree the coconut oil version looks the best. Coconut oil is good for you so these are basically fruit! Funny. I just shared my February running playlist this morning. :)
Megan d
#5 and #7 all the way. But I would still eat every single one of them cause I am not a cookie rascist, after all.
Darcy
PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE SONG “Moments” by Tove Lo. That is my jam on repeat lately. You’ll LURRRRVE IT!!!
The Hungry Runner Girl
You nailed it… SO good. THANK YOU!!!!
Hollie
Those socks are so cute. I would agree that new workout clothes always excite me too.
My favorite salad dressings are Greek and balsamic. I like the bitterness. I would buy the dressing, it looks awesome. I think I told you recently I wasn’t a big Trader Joes fan but that might be enough to send me there!
Erin @ Erin's Inside Job
Do you get eyelash extensions or do you just wear fake eyelashes? So many of my friends here in Chicago are doing the extension thing and I’m thisclose to hopping on board!
anna krystine
how long have you done lash extensions for? i’ve been doing them since september and i LOVE them but i’m starting to get a little worried about my natural lashes…
The Hungry Runner Girl
I’ve been doing them for 2.5 years straight now… I have no idea what my natural lashes are like now and I worry too but I am hooked.
Jessy
I did them for a little over a year and your eyelashes will definitely be shorter when you take off the extensions but they will grow back out. Takes a couple of months but then they will be back to normal :)
Tiffany
These are the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve made:
http://www.pastryaffair.com/blog/chocolate-chunk-ginger-cookies.html
I think I omitted the ginger, though. The molasses is what makes these so good to me.
Lauren @ The Foodie Runner
I’ve always had super duper dark eyebrows but my hair is naturally blonde so the last time that my mother-in-law cut my hair she also bleached my eyebrows a bit. It feels so good to have the “right” colored eyebrows haha
Gabby @ gogabbith
I agree with your cookie opinion, the coconut oil cookies look the best. Roses has been my go to song for a few months now. I LOVE belting it out in the car (no shame)! I am not really a salad eater unless it comes with my meal at a restaurant. Sentence of the day: I got selected for an interview for a grad program I applied to, yay!
Kendra
So I need more info on the eyebrow tinting!! Do you love it? How long does it last? It looks amazing and I always fill my eyebrows in, it would save me a few mins everyday and that adds up!!
The Hungry Runner Girl
I LOVE IT!! So my girl said it lasts about 6 weeks. It has changed my life ha because I am awful at doing makeup so now I don’t even need to try (fail…) hahaha! Try it out… I was nervous but I don’t think I’ll be able to stop now!
Jane@50statecancuk
Good info!! I’ve got the eyelash extensions and am IN LOVE!! The eyebrow tinting would just make life that much easier!! lol
Katy
Do you just get it done at the hair salon? Is it just dye?
The Hungry Runner Girl
She does my eyelashes at her house and yep… she just does dye! I will do a post about it with pictures next time I get it done! Thanks Katy and I hope you are having a great day!
Rachel @ Simply Rachel Nicole
I love your tinted brows and eyelash extensions! You look gorgeous girl! Where do you take Brooke to play indoors? I am always trying to think of places to take my daughter because we get SO restless in the winter time!
Rachel @ Simply Rachel Nicole
Oh and I live in Provo ha!
Jenny
I have the BEST chcolate chip cookie recipe. No joke. It’s what I make for all my friends birthdays presents. If you want it I’ll email it to you. Let me know.
Christi
Where’d you go to get your brows tinted? I just got mine threaded and the lady took way too much off. I’m in Lehi, so not too far from you.
The Hungry Runner Girl
My eyelash girl did them… she tints them while she does your eyelashes! SHE IS AMAZING! Email me and I’ll give you her info. I’m so so sorry about the threading incident… I would be so bummed!
Laura @ This Runner's Recipes
I was just looking at coconut oil chocolate chip cookis recipes! I think Gimme Some Oven has a recipe for them.
Sarah Sefo
Sally’s baking addiction chewy chocolate chip cookies. THE BEST. They don’t come out like the pics on the website. They’re big and soft and wonderful. I always use half chocolate chips, half chocolate chunks. My friends and I call these The Cookies. I could eat them every day. I want some right now. I want them stacked on a plate for my birthday. And I want a stocking full of them for Christmas. I want to swim in a pool full of them. Amen.
Sami
Our playlists are eerily similar.
I’ve used a chocolate chip cookie recipe that includes BISQUICK and they were so yummy!
There’s a local gal who is a classically-trained chef and she makes THEE best vinaigrette I’ve ever tried.
Sentence for the day: You CAN wash heaps of melted chocolate from a white comforter.
Valerie
These are the best ever http://joythebaker.com/2014/05/the-best-brown-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies/
It’s even in the name ;)
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff
I like any type of Greek dressing. Panera sells theirs at the grocery store. And trader joes has a good creamy feta one.
My sentence for the day is why are honey crisp apples so big? I’m not complaining but it looks funny when I bite into one at work and it’s the size of my head!
Janet
Cookies!? I got this:
2 1/4 cup of flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 package of instant pudding (vanilla usually but up to you!)
2 eggs
1 cup of butter
1/4 white sugar
3/4 light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
chocolate chips (your choice here too but I like milk chocolate)
Cream the eggs and butter then add the sugar and vanilla and pudding mix until mixed. Add flour and baking soda. Add chips. Drop by teaspoons full on a cookie sheet and bake in a 350 (325 if using a dark pan) oven for 8 – 10 minutes. Let set up for a few minutes before you eat them. Try to eat only 1.
Kelsey
I have been LOVING Roses by The Chainsmokers, as well as Sorry & Love Yourself by the Biebs, Hands to Myself by Selena Gomez, Troye Sivan’s entire Blue Neighborhood album (seriously, so amazing! – Youth is my fav right now). An old favorite that came back into my life today is Konstantine by Something Corporate. It is such an emotional song, but I can’t stop listening to it (it’s been 30 minutes so far today…).
Mel_OutRunCF
One of my favorite running song right now is One Love by Marianas Trench.
Favorite salad dressing is changing frequently but right now it is poppy seed dressing with cranberries!
Sentence : Inside Playgrounds are life savers in the winter ;-)
Becky @Ok, So Here's the Plan
I haven’t been running with music lately. It’s been podcasts or my random thoughts.
I pretty much always make the Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chip recipe if I make chocolate chip cookies.
Salad dressing: I love a good red wine vinaigrette, or some serious bleu cheese :)
Julia @ Lord Still Loves Me
Drive thru cookies? Janae, I live in San Diego California, yet you have the ability to make me want to move to Utah sometimes… drive thru cookies is a fantastic idea.
I’m a classic ranch type of gal.
Sentence for the day: Is it bedtime yet?
Julie
H Janea! Did you know that you can actually try food at Trader Joes risk free? Anything you open and eat and don’t like can be returned for a full refund! So- definitely give that salad dressing a try!! http://www.traderjoes.com/fearless-flyer/article/153
The Hungry Runner Girl
That is amazing… thank you so so much for sharing this with me!!!
Sheena @ Paws and Pavement
I searched and tried countless chocolate chip recipes and the best one I found as real butter, baking soda and powder in it.
Mollie
These!!! http://savorysweetlife.com/2009/10/alices-chocolate-chip-cookie-recipe/
I found the by googling best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever. Appropriately named. I used half the sugar.
And goddess dressing. Any day. All day. Everyday.
Erin @ Her Heartland Soul
That cookie looks so yummy!
Kaci @ Kaci K. RD2Be
Thanks for the playlist ideas! I haven’t updated my playlists lately and need some new music!
Best ever cookie recipe: Step 1. Drive to Mary’s Mountain Cookies Step 2. Order cookie. Step 3. Enjoy one of the best cookies ever :)
Kay
I follow that Trader Joe’s Instagram account too – I love seeing all of the new items!
Also I saw this post about Costco food and thought of you haha! http://www.buzzfeed.com/pablovaldivia/things-youll-only-understand-if-youre-obsessed-with-costco?utm_term=.nqg8xdd6r#.bhwMlgged
molly rose
chandelier by jordan smith!!
Sam
Annie’s Goddess dressing is the best! I’ve seen recipes around the Internet for it as well. Now I want to bake all of the cookies after seeing that pic!
Anne @ runningmyselfragged
I looked closely and my first choice was also coconut oil. But the (2) added flour and (7) all brown sugar look good too. I wonder if I used all brown sugar, coconut oil and added flour if it would be out of this world??
Have you tried the Walden farm products? The salad dressing has NO calories. Some I didn’t care for but the 1,000 island is great.
Andy @ Gifts for Runners
Love the 1 sentence per picture format! And the stair climber tip! The socks aren’t bad either ;)
Christina @glittergirl
My favourite cookies are your cookies! I shared them with the girls at work too and they loved them. I don’t think we as into cookies here in Aus compared to the US…our signature biscuit is the Tim Tam chocolate coated goodness!! They come in heaps of yummy flavours too.
ellen
Love the new socks!! New work out gear does it EVERY time for me too! The past few years I really enjoy listening to some upbeat country music! Sentence of the day ? Well I stick with a good ol’ one ;) Its Friday !!!!! Yay!!!
Meredith @ the cookie chrunicles
Love when I make cookies with coconut oil! Ugh wish we had a drive through cookie place. I’m still mad crumbs cupcakes closed they should have made the store a drive thru maybe they would have stayed in business!
Kathy
I’m currently channeling my 22 yo self and enjoying the new Panic at the Disco album. I challenge you to have a bad run with “Hallelujah.” Opposite end of the spectrum, check out the Avett Brothers “I Never Knew You.”
For something different and yummy, Chai Spice Cookies: https://www.washingtonpost.com/pb/recipes/chai-spice-sugar-cookies/11391/
Cori @ She's Going the Distance
i’m seeing Brand New this summer! Love them! Great playlist
Taylor
I usually just listen to the workout playlist on pandora when I run!! I like making my own salad dress with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, spicy mustard, honey, mustard powder, and garlic powder. So good!!
Steph @ sjdoesfitness
I ALWAYS make my cookies with coconut oil because it gives them another added element of yum. my boyfriend swears by them and says they’re the best cookies he’s ever had and I can only 100% agree.
also, your workout playlist has about 90% of the same songs mine does on it right now. no shame, these are all jams.
Emily @ E is for Effort
I tried baking chocolate chip cookies with coconut oil and didn’t like it at all! They come out flatter and less bread-y, and they have a taste of coconut. Which, I suppose, could be a good thing, depending on what you want. If I was going for coconut tasting cookies, I’d throw in some nuts and shredded coconut too. Otherwise, I’d like my chocolate chip cookies to be classic.
Ashlee
Ce Plane Pour Moi by Plastic Bertrand is my running obsession!!! I don’t understand it but you can’t help but get up and move when it’s on!!
Loribeth
I like any country and I always love having NSYNC or Backstreet Boys on my playlist!
I haven’t experimented with making my own choc chip cookies really, just like Phoebe on Friends, I like the Tollhouse recipe!
Favorite salad dressings: Panera Poppyseed (which you can now buy in stores), Hidden Valley Ranch (fat free option is great!), and there are a few brands of sweet vidalia onion dressings I like, although not a bacon (unless it’s Kevin Bacon!) fan, that dressing sounds good!
Amy
Oh love the playlist.. Pinned it for motivation… Love this post… Very motivating and inspiring!!!
Robin
My new favorite that I listen to over and over is Bring It Back by Shy Carter. I’m obsessed!
