A little confused about the warm running weather but welcoming it with open arms… 8:25 pace for today and feeling more and more normal.
I get really excited when I find this gum because it tastes like candy and I love candy.
Eight Minute Abs is still a part of my life.
Andrew took a school break and made us turkey burgers for lunch… our grill was the best investment ever.
Watching rockets last night.
They think they are so funny.
Using my back as a pillow and cuddled up to Beretta while she colors.
My sister’s homemade oreos are everything… recipe HERE!
Andrew doesn’t like chocolate covered gummy bears and that is upsetting to me.
If Knox asks to snuggle with me it makes my entire day… I feel really lucky to be his step-mama.
Purple shoe power with Megan.
From a bit ago but I’m sure Lindsey loves my hair in her face.
Making some delicious apple butter over here today…
Let’s see how many post-race St. George Marathon selfies I can get with Brooke over the years (I’m guessing down the road she will have a medal around her neck too:)

Sounds delicious!

I’m not a big fan of Three Musketeers. Janae, the pic with Knox is so cute; the emotions on your face says it all!
Jenny
Have you noticed millions of little nats out while you’re running? I just got back and have them all over me!
Those Oreos look so yummy
Katie Sommerfeldt
Super random question/blog post idea…but can you put together a list of your favorite books? (Fiction/non-fiction)
The Hungry Runner Girl
LOVE that idea. YES and yes. Thank you Katie!
Lee
Lunch today was butternut squash, black bean, and peach mango salsa tacos without the shell..yum.
Those oreos look good. It’s just something else to add to my list of things to bake and eat. I think the Internet is conspiring against my weight loss goals. Everywhere I look, there is a yummy looking recipe that I want to bake and eat.

Sentence: I love High Intensity Interval Training! Regarding the candy question, I’ll admit that I’m not a big fan of Jelly beans… Lunch today was a big kale salad with smoked salmon, poppy seed dressing, avocado slices and dried cranberries on top + a few slices of oven roasted sweet potatoes on the side…
Kaytlin St.Clair
Sentence for the day: Buying shoes from bae rules when he gets a 50% discount holla!
I have a lot of questions for people who like 3 Musketeers.
Lunch today was collared greens mixed in Annie’s Mac and Cheese. Calcium overload ;)
Love the purple Launches, btw. They are also my racing shoe and I feel like they will be for quite some time.
Stephanie
Fall in Maine. Can’t beat it!
Lunch was a bowl of rice krispies….Total fail! On vacation this week…all structure has been blown out the window.
Dots – worst candy ever, lol. It’s like eating flavorless wax that sticks to your teeth. I don’t get it!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats
BERETTA!!!! Love her.
Caroline
The picture of you and Knox is just priceless!
My sentence of the day: sad that my brother and sister in-law are moving to Hawaii….but happy that we now have a reason to visit and place to stay!
Don’t hate me for my candy no-no’s…but I never liked anything gummy or sour…or jolly ranchers….or anything like Mounds or Almond Joy with coconut.
Kathy
OK…I don’t know if its the beer that I just had or simply this post but something has me laughing…..
1. Picture of you and Knox…..You are an AWESOME STOP-MOMMA I am sure!! (bwahahahh…..)
2. Those onions………yikes!
3. Andrew’s face with the chocolate gummy……I mean its chocolate, eat and enjoy!
and finally….those kiddos in your bed…..I hope they remain buddies for years to come….
The Hungry Runner Girl
HAHAH THANK YOU for catching stop-mama… auto correct!!! Yep, I don’t know why Andrew is so disgusted by those gummy bears. I sure hope so too:)

Unfortunately, my work training ran over today, so lunch consisted of 8 rolls of smarties from their candy bowl. I was sooo hangry when I got home. (I’d have snuck in a snack if I’d have known it would have went over lunch). You know those candies that you licked the stick and dipped it in the powder, the sticks were white. Lick-a-Stiks I think they were called. I didn’t care for the sugary powder but I could eat those sticks all day long. Seriously the best. Oddly, the taste reminds me of how the scratch n sniff Smurf stickers used to smell. I think it was the Smurf ones. I probably sound weird, but someone out there has to be able to confirm this.
Denise @ AnAcademicAthlete
My sentence for the day: First post-marathon run today! Only 3 miles, but I brought my dog and it felt great. :) I do not like Swedish Fish at all, and I cannot understand why people like it! :) I went to a lunch meeting today and they provided Jimmy Johns, so I had a vegetarian sub. And a cookie!
Laura
Only ran 4 miles today, but at least I got a run in today. Thanks for all your posts. Such an encouragement to me to keep running. I have a daughter just a little younger than yours. So fun! Also, are those really the ab work outs you do?
The Hungry Runner Girl
I have a few other that I do but my coach had me doing 8 minute abs forever ago (and sometimes 2 times in a row) and I have kept doing it. I’ll add more of the ab workouts that I do asap! Hope you are having a beautiful day and YAY for getting miles in today! Keep on running and enjoy the rest of your week:)

I bet your house smelled amazing cooking those apples.
I made my knock off version of Cubby’s buffalo chicken salad for my lunch today, but with a lot more lettuce ;)
I will have to agree with Andrew – chocolate covered gummy bears = no bueno. I don’t really even like them without chocolate. Ross likes Necco wafers though and we have somehow still managed to be married 12 years. I don’t know how. I must be a saint.
Homemade oreo cookie are the best.
What are abs? (please refer to my sentence above).
Goodvice
Great article. Amazing pictures. Fun reading it. Thank you for sharing with us.

I love DOTS! Especially when they’re frozen. Nobody else seems to like them which is so bizarre to me.
Loribeth
I love Dots! But my teeth don’t………too chewy for my crown :(
Arthi
Haha I hear ya! Taste great but awful for the teeth!
Loribeth
My sister in law Eleanor once said “ew, why would anyone like Payday?!” I guess I agree………….peanuts and no chocolate??!!
Loribeth
And chocolate covered gummy bears are the best thing ever. I get them from a local chocolate shop…………..they have the best homemade milk chocolate on them!
