I'm also remembering all the not fun things that go along with long run prepping, like putting friction defense all over. And knowing I'm still gonna have blisters cause this will only be my second run in these new shoes.
I still can't believe that I didn't know runners ate snacks during long runs until two frickin years ago
Pack your running snacks
In this house we stan Ms Rachel
"Please can I have it?" my 2yo demands, trying to rip the phone out of my hands after specifically asking me for help
DMSP ☘️
My five year old fucked around and now they are finding out. And their sadness caused by finding out is costing me my sleep.
Ugh. I wish I knew how to French/Dutch braid cause I would totally do that to my hair while I run. Would've been so cute especially with me rocking my hot pink shirt and shoes today.
"This is not a scientific term; it's really pumping x-rays"
"It's pissing x-rays?"
"Yeah! It's pissing x-rays!"
HOLY SHIT I DID A 5 MILE ZONE 2 RUN?!?!? WE ARE SO BACK
Me: "I don't wanna run in the heat or run 5 miles on a treadmill so I'll run tomorrow."
Husband, 4 hours later: "Are you going to the gym?"
(love that my sister is making plans to do an after party for my first half of the year)
These medals are so bad and the new logo looks like the Titanic. I fear I'm crashing out
Matt failed to open a can of coke earlier so I got to use my NileBlue flipped tools bottle opener to stab it. And let me tell you, my dad's eyes lit up with excitement as I opened it. The man has never seen a switchblade style bottle opener and you could tell he loved it.
"I found my titanium dioxide. It's not as good as lead."
"What's it taste like?"
"My game studio is based around working you all to death."
Also I'm at the same weight I was 13 weeks pregnant with my oldest. I was peeling potatoes for my mom in the kitchen for thanksgiving, and had just finished a turkey trot 8k. She said "you look so good and healthy"
I had been vomiting everyday for 8 weeks and was severely dehydrated.
Now at 500 miles on my shoes after some unexpected hiatuses (injury and illness related).
BUT MY NEW SHOES ARE PINKKK
(It's me. I'm the levee.)
When Robert Plant sung "If it keeps on raining, the levee is gonna break," I felt that.
Cemetery is shown in Gangs of London.
Me: "That's Brompton Cemetery. It's on the North East side of Stamford Bridge."
Matt: 🤦🏻♂️
"This is going to be the stickiest month of my life."
"Oh. That's a sentence."
He did not use the passport photo I sent him
Pros of open ear earbuds: I can hear things around me which mean safety while I run
Cons of open ear earbuds: someone honked at me as a form of encouragement while I was running last night and it scared the shit out of me
"If you drop it on my face I'm gonna die."
"Tungsten is one of the cheapest dense things that we could've gotten. That isn't radioactive. Or deadly."
Teacher finds 5's missing jacket. 5 doesn't come home with winter coat that I explicitly told husband she took to school 🤦🏻♀️ what a vicious cycle
2 fell asleep on me for the first time in probably 18 months ❤️
The USMNT has the last laugh…1️⃣0️⃣1️⃣⏳
2yo also calls themself beautiful if I let them fill in the blank to finish the sentence ❤️
Me: "[Name] is..."
2: "BEAUTIFUL!"
