Hi There!
It’s Tuesday. Normally it’s a short run kinda day with speed work or hills or some other type of intervals but since I’m #StillNotRunning that wasn’t happening. I thought about hitting the gym at lunch but ironically all the biking that I’ve been doing has left me with some weird aches and pains around my knee and also my inner thigh and I thought it best to rest. Last thing I want is an injury from cross training (am I repeating myself? I feel like I said this recently…oh well, sorry if I am.) I’m going to stretch tonight when i go home.
In the meantime I participated in #TongueOutTuesday on Instagram today a little differently…
it’s meant for dog pics lol.
I used this picture from about mile 23 in the NYC Marathon last year. I was #spent!
Then at lunch I ran errands just to get off my #ass and enjoy the warm sunny goodness that exists here in NYC today. I passed by Lady Foot Locker and got a good chuckle at their latest ad campaign.
LOL!
If you search #Allrunnerswelcome or just go here you’ll see a cute video of these silly drawings and you can vote for which type of runner you are. I am a total fan of running inspired social media campaigns ever since I got to be part of the #runfor campaign that Dicks Sporting Goods shared last year. Here’s my video if you haven’t seen it. (It’s over a year old so of course the nerd in me wishes i could dub over the audio since now i’ve completed 5 marathons. lol.)
Eventually I made it to Sephora to buy some eyeliner and next thing you know I’m splurging on my favorite #fresh products. It’s really insane that I spent $22 on shower gel alone. But hey, I’m trying to keep my spirits up so I guess it’s cheaper than therapy.
And then I splurged on some fresh berries at the farmer’s market right outside my office.
I went with blackberries and strawberries. Unfortunately the blackberries are really bitter. I’ll just have to mix them with something sweet like CHOCOLATE!!!!
After running my errands I came back to the office and heated up my lunch. My mom dropped off a little dinner care package last night, but since I had already eaten my dinner I just took it for lunch today. It’s great portion control since she only packed me one serving!

Tomorrow is National Running Day and while I’m still technically “on the bench” I might just put on my running gear and run to the end of the block. I couldn’t possibly do harm in just one block! Otherwise I’ll just drown my sorrows with some ice cream. Win Win!
How’s everyone’s week going so far? Anyone eating ice cream right now? What flavor did you get?
I saw the instagram this morning. It made me chortle. And then I saw this post and it’s mainly a dog thing. Classic! People around me were asking me what’s so funny. Oh the little things.
Um, can your mom bring me over a little dinner, too? Yum. Looks amazing!
I am not eating ice cream but I did buy my first watermelon of the season and it’s a fail. Not an epic fail but it’s not ripe enough. I absolutely hate throwing food away so I went back and picked up grapes and when I got home I made a fruit salad with watermelon, grapes, tangerines. I figure I might top with some vanilla yogurt + granola.
Hope the rest day does some good. Biking is so awesome but it can also wear out the body. I am sure by tomorrow you will feel good as new!
watermelon and grapes are the key to a great fruit salad =)
Your instagram is too funny!
Phew. I don’t think I’d spend that much on body wash…..I have problems spending more than $3. haha. I’ve never been to Sephora. I’m not a huge make up person though, so I’m probably not missing out on much.
YUMMY summer fruits! I’ve had peaches already this year too. It was really good!
mmm peaches are such a great summer fruit. especially in pie!
