Wedding dress shopping with my girls.
I ended up buying the first one I tried on and I am in love with it.
Snack break.
Went up to Salt Lake City for a bit and I have a feeling I might be saying this to myself today when the pain kicks in;)
Because we were right by Jason’s Deli:
Brooke loves race expos just as much as I do because of the free snacks.
Brooke took our picture:)
LOVE that our names are on the bibs.
Breadtwists and spaghetti for dinner.
And an unplanned trip to the splashpad.
Luckily I had PJs in the car with us afterwards.
We got to the gas station just in time… my bad.
If I am ever looking for Andrew’s dog there is a big chance she is under his bed.
Time for 13.1!!! Not sure if I’ll try to push it or maybe Andrew and I will just run it for fun. We shall decide at the starting line..

Good luck!!!!!!! Have a ton of fun!
I’m doing a hot and steamy and hilly 10k in an hour. And then 4 more miles cause I’m in Marathon training and today is long run day. :)
Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious
Have a fun race! I can’t believe you found the dress on the first try. Now that is luck!
Tiffany @ The Chi-Athlete
So happy you found a dress!

Congrats on finding a wedding dress! I’m sure you’ll look amazing :) Also, I think I’m a little in love with Andrew’s dog – SO. CUTE!!!
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff
Good luck.
I’m taking my niece who just turned 16 into Manhattan today for shopping and dinner and hopefully a walk thru my beloved Central Park. :)
Rache
I would so babysit Duncan for you ??
Sarah @ SarahRuns26
Good luck! Have a great race today!
I think I bought the third dress I tried on when I went wedding dress shopping. Can’t wait to see it!
I’ve been craving ice cream cones lately so your twist cones look awesome!
Sarah O
Have fun!!
I did a 4 mile SLOW run this morning. My first run in six days and despite having to stop to pee three times #pregnancyproblems, it was so nice! I do love early summer mornings in New England.
We have a couple birthday parties for the kids this afternoon and then a graduation dinner for one of my friends/work colleagues at one of my favorite restaurants.
Karien @ Running the Race
Enjoy!!
I had a run, a smoothie and then a nap… It was perfect :) .
Bethany (Lulu)
Have fun with your half and congratulations on finding a dress! I can’t wait to see it ;)
Plans for today: run, spend time with family, and relax. Not a lot on the agenda today and I am totally okay with that!
Michele @paleorunningmomma
Love that you’re deciding at the start line! Congrats on the dress :)
Laura @ This Runner's Recipes
Good luck on your race and have fun! Congrats on finding your wedding dress! My dog hides under the bed also. He used to hide under the sofa as a puppy but now he’s too big for that, unless he gets very determined.
Rache
Best of luck whichever way you choose to run it ???
Marissa @ Run Riss Run
Good luck today, whatever you choose! I too, bought the first dress I tried on. I of course then tried on a bunch more and went back to the first one :)
I was supposed to run 10 today but my legs are pretty tight from hills yesterday, so a quick 1-2 miles to loosen them up then 10 tomorrow before church!
Melly
How tall is Andrew!? I know you (Janae) are on the tall side, but he almost makes you look short!
Good luck to you both on running today!!
Jenny
I bought the first dress I tried on too. I had only gone to one store. Sometimes I would think maybe I should have looked more just because my dress got stuck in customs and I ended up having to use the floor dress and have it altered a ton. But it all worked out and I still love my dress
Arthi
Good luck on the race!!
Did 10 miles with my running club this morning and it was HOT.
Rest of the day will consist of shopping, froyo, and a friend’s birthday party!

I also bought the first wedding dress I tried on… it was love at first sight… sometimes you just know it’s the one ;-) haha Hope the HM goes well! Running with my husband happens almost only on race day so it’s always so special…hope it feels the same for you guys!
Rachel @ Vet Tech Runner
Congrats on finding a dress… I’m sure it’s beautiful! Today I had a longish run, went shoe shopping, and now I’m eating lunch and trying to figure out what I’m doing the rest of the day!
Flower
Good luck today! Have a great race.
Brittnee
Good luck to you and Andrew at your race!! What a fun girls day for you dress shopping!! Glad you found the one and I can’t wait to see the pics of it on the big day!!
T.O.
Congrats on finding your dress! I hope your shopping trip was a fun experience! That’s so awesome that you let Brooke get soaked in her clothes. What a cool mom. (If that’s how it went down) :-p
Good luck in your race! You’ve got so much great stuff happening right now, how could you not have a wonderful race??
tess
I really want ice cream now.
Good luck on the race and congratulations on finding your dress. Now to narrow down the cake. That’s what is really important, right?
Caroline
Congrats on a great race!!!! And on finding a dress so quickly!!! You are knocking out that list like a pro!!! Cannot wait to see it – I know you are gonna look stunning!
Kristina Running
Whoo! Congrats on finding the right dress so quickly! I’m sure you’re going to look stunning on the big day.
Those breadtwists look so delicious every time you post them. YUMMMMM!
Have a great time at your first race together! Adam “retired” from racing a couple of years ago but I appreciate that at my first few races he was there with me even though he has always disliked running. I should get him that top you’re holding, haha!
Lee
What shoes are you wearing? They look like converse but I can’t tell for sure.
Wedding dress shopping is so much fun. I can’t wait to see pictures of your wedding! I’m really looking forward to seeing what Brooke will be wearing. She always looks super cute!
The Hungry Runner Girl
They sure are converse!! Thank you so much Lee!! We seriously cannot wait. I hope you are having a beautiful day!
Erin @ Her Heartland Soul
Ahhh how exciting!!
Loribeth
I loved wedding dress shopping! Glad you found a dress………..I bet it’s gorgeous! Hope you have a fun half marathon! Today is definately a biking day…………maybe a run day…………it’s really hot, I may just bike!
Meredith @ the cookie chrunicles
good luck today! And yay for the dress! My wedding dress was the second one I tried on and the dress I just got for my sons bar mitzvah was the first dress!
Jenni
I’d love to know more about you and Andrew running together – has he always been a runner/racer too? Do you run the same pace or train together? Good luck and have fun!
Rachel @ Simply Rachel Nicole
Yay! That is so awesome that you found your dress. :) I am so excited to take my little girl to the splash pad when we get back to Provo. :) She is older this summer and will love it! I saw that you rand with Andrew for the run. That is so awesome!!!
Christina
Can’t wait to hear about the race! And you would look good in anything so doesn’t surprise me first one u picked lol
Chiara
Good Luck for the race.
I took a friend of mine to buy her wedding dress today, and I am more and more happy with my choice of buying a regular (and beautiful) white dress from one of my favorite shops. I love the idea that I can wear my wedding dress anytime I want!
Amanda B @ Cupcakes & Miles
You found the dress?! That is so exciting!!!
Good luck with your race tomorrow!
Becky
Congrats on finding your dress. I got the first one I tried on too. I tried others but ended up going to the first! My gut instinct won! Good luck and have fun!
Allyssa
I also bought the first wedding dress I tried on! Isn’t it weird how that happens? I definitely liked some of the other ones….but there was something that kept bringing me back to the first one.
Tedi @ Running With Infertility
I can’t wait to see the dress! I found my dress and my friend said it’s the Tedi dress! I still love my dress!
It looks like you had a lot of fun running today. I can’t wait to hear a little race recap soon.
We went for a hike this morning, but got rained on so we cut it short! Lame! We had our dogs with us, and I really didn’t want to deal with muddy dogs. Hopefully we’ll go again next week. :)
Taylor
I found my wedding dress after trying on about 5. My dog loves hiding under the bed too. I frequently pull up to the gas station having been on 0 miles til empty for quite a few miles! lol … not a good habit!
Stephanie
I bought the first wedding dress I tried on, too! I tried on a bunch but the first one… that was The One. I’ve talked to tons of women who did the same thing!
