April Fool's Day!

Happy April Fool's Day! I completely forgot about this until after lunch. My mom used to tell me that you can only pull a prank until noon on April 1st, no later. Has anyone heard of this before? I think she just might have made it up so we had less time to do stupid stuff around the house.
Anyway....back to working out today after a much deserved rest day! My legs felt really fresh today, and the run seemed pretty easy which is always a good thing in my book. 6.5 miles in 59:30 (I know that's basically an hour but when you are desperately trying to run faster every second counts). I also thought I must be looking good since I got mega attention from a random at the gym. But then my hubby took a picture of me afterwards, and I realized I was definitely not looking so hot. 

I promise I don't have a hunchback. I don't know why I stand like this.

Still happy because I haven't seen these pictures yet.
What do you do when you get unwanted attention from someone at the gym? Assuming, of course, that you already have a lovely male in your life like I do. I flashed the ring, I was sweating profusely, and I never said more than one word at a time in response. And that word was usually "yep" or "yeah". I'm such a charmer. Are you one of those people that can say "BACK OFF BUDDY CAN'T YOU SEE I'M RUNNING!!!!" because I'm not. I guess I have to work on that.

After working up a sweat I went to try out the new Aldi grocery store in my area. I used to shop there when I lived in Germany so I was really excited to try it out. I ate some of the new finds for lunch. Open faced PB&J (Peanut Butter on one side and jelly on the other) with a salad, strawberries, and grapes. 


I hope some of you were better prepared and had some good pranks today! What are the best ones you've heard of?

How do you respond when you get unwanted attention at the gym?

    Congrats on your time and the random! Seriously those moments have come so far and few between that it freaks me out unnecessarily. I was shopping in Target for hubby's anniversary gift and a guy asked me to lunch. I still wont go in that particular store solo. LOL. However, it is good to feel like "oh yeah, I still got it!"

Race the Bar 5k Recap (AKA: A Personal Worst!)

Do you remember a few weeks back, when I was all braggy about running in Florida in February/March? Sunny mornings around a lake with a light breeze off the water have turned, cruelly, into humid stretches of time where I am humbly reminded of my own limitations. You guys, I see these gazelle-like creatures, men and women alike, who prance on my running route with compression socks, a soft glow of perspiration at their brow. It's beautiful. It's also a harsh reminder that I am not them. I am currently running in the thinnest, smallest items of clothing I can without offending anyone (shirt stays on, people). I dare not step outside without some awful visor or wide-brimmed hat. When I hop in the shower after a run, my face is a deep crimson that causes my husband to voice his concern for my general well-being. Have I mentioned this is what happens after my easy runs, with a few walk breaks thrown in? Yeah. It's humbling. Now, I'm not complaining. It's beautiful...

Just a Handful is Enough! Bra Review and Giveaway

You know those people who said running is the cheapest sport because all you need is shoes? Well, they're clearly not women. For me to have a successful run, I need a good pairs of shoes, wicking socks, shorts that don't chafe me, a non-cotton top, my Garmin, some body glide, and a sports bra. And let's be honest here--sometimes finding the right bra can be the most difficult part of all.  For my chest size (aka the cups aren't exactly "running over") it seems like sports bras come in two styles: 1) flattening compression bras 2) completely unsupportive bras Well, call me vain if you want, but I like to have support when I run, and also keep a little shape. And I definitely want people to recognize that I'm a woman when I run past! That's why I'm so excited to be the proud new owner of a  HANDFUL  bra!  I'm in love!  Handful bras  are designed to "flatter, not flatten" and it's true! Removable pads contour the body and keep so...

Chobani Review and Giveaway!

I'm pretty sure it's not a secret that me and Greek yogurt are in a serious relationship. I know, I know...hubby can read this. But he's well aware of the affair. At least once a day I need my fix. Sometimes it's a mid-morning snack with fruit, or a lunchtime topper for baked potatoes. Other times it's the sweet dessert topped with fruit and chocolate shavings that completes my night. Plain, vanilla, fruity...I could wax poetic about the stuff for ages. Don't worry, I won't. What I will say is that as much as I love Greek yogurt, I figured it was all the same. I saved a little money (18 cents on each container at my local store) in order to get the cheaper no-name brand. Then Chobani was on sale, so I picked up a few. Um, this stuff is THICK! So much creamier and thicker - and tastier - than any other brand I've tried. Sorry, extra 18 cents. You are now being diverted to my Chobani fund. I won a Chobani giveaway a couple of weeks ago hosted by ...
