Okay, my title just made me crave candy and I have no idea why. Maybe it makes me think of Reese’s Pieces? I still have a hard time figuring out the way my mind works. Either way, here are some Reese’s pieces of my day today. ‘Twas a good one.

5 Mile Tempo Run With The Cows

Mooooo!!! Now that I got that out of my system…I hit up a local running trail to hang out with the cows and knock out this week’s tempo run. The run called for a one mile warm-up, three miles at an 8:33 tempo, and then a one mile cool down. My tempo splits ended up being 8:37, 8:38, and 8:28 min/mile. I came somewhat close but definitely learned that I have a problem figuring out my pace and keeping it steady. I felt all over the place! Those tempo runs are tough trying to get in tune with the body.

Best Way To Store Headphones

I had to buy new headphones after mine crapped out on me this past weekend. You know I went the “el cheapo” route and nabbed a pair for under $10. That, of course, means they don’t have a handy way to store them or other fancy features. Which, therefore, means I resort to my office clip method of storing headphones to keep the tangles away. Nothing works better. Don’t you love Peter’s my innovativeness?

Breaking In Our Pool

We have a pool in our backyard, but the dang trees keep it shaded most of the day so it takes for-ev-ah to get warm enough to take a dip without risking hypothermia. Today was the day to finally brave the chill factor and only risk the “cutting glass” effect, if you know what I mean. I edged my way in to about chest level and was done. Peter, of course, jumps right in telling me it’s the only way to do it. Mehhh….I like my method.

Harry Potter Obsession

Dork alert: Peter & I share a bit of enthusiasm over Harry Potter. Not crazy crazy, but we like it well enough. Well enough to decide to watch the first seven movies through again before hopefully fitting a visit to the theater into the budget for next month’s release of the last film. We start #2 tonight!

I Got My Jeans Buttoned

My “goal jeans”! Out of curiosity I took a stab at them and got them on and buttoned. They still fit way too tight to actually wear comfortably, but I take getting them oa as a huge victory. Consistency with healthy habits and not doing anything crazy besides watching tons of Harry Potter and running with cows pays off!

I Love ALL of YOU! That doesn’t need further explanation. I just wanted to tell you that. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

• Harry Potter – Are you a fan?
• Getting into a cold pool – Slow and steady or Dive right in?

Some days all I want to start my day is a butt-kicking in spin class.

Old picture from about a month ago…but you get the idea.  

Some days, I’m too lazy to add berries to my oats. So I just add more peanut butter.

Some days, I wonder what the heck Dr. Seuss was smoking.

Some days, I crave the flavor of summer.

 
Avocado, hummus, turkey, spinach, + tomato wrap. Mango + carrots on the side.  

Some days, I wish I could have no responsibilities at all.

Some days, I wait until the husband comes home so I can take an uninterrupted 20 minute hot shower.

Some days, I have to admit to kind of being bummed The Bachelor is no longer on.

Some days, I cannot get over how stinking adorable my kids are.

Some days, I feel like unplugging.

And some days I wish I could spell too.   

Some days, all I want is to marvel in the life God blessed me and know that all my future somedays are in His hands.

Finish your own: “Some days, I _______”.
