September 19, 2013

Current Book: No books. I’m barely treading water keeping up on all my mags.
trails1
Running Path: Cannot get enough of this one lately, as long as I don’t trip on a root.

Non-Running Workout: I’m all about plyometric intervals.

Drink: My true love: Kombucha. Any flavor will do.

Excitement: Well my nuclear stress test was exciting, not in a good way…

Website: Lululemon’s We made too much. I heart most of their stuff but right now there’s a ‘runsie’. Basically a one-piece jumpsuit for running. Honestly what were they smoking? Ok I went to snag a pic and it’s gone. Maybe I’m out of line and runsies are the next ‘it’ item.
pumpkins
Garden Item: So proud of these big boys. I’ve never been able to grow a decent pumpkin before and this year we’ve got a whole patch!

TV: Riveted to Restaurant Impossible lately. Although seeing how filthy many of these places are makes me wanna never eat out ever.

icecream

Indulgence: Why do I drag stuff like this home? Just why? Well to be fair I got it because Thing 1 got her top braces yesterday and Thing 2 got an expander so they’re both whining, balls of misery, I mean fun.

chalk

Thing 2 left this little love note at the dentist’s office. I’m so proud.

Pet peeve: Drivers that won’t slow down or move over even an inch when I’m running on this one stretch of road (0.10 of a mile) with no shoulder. The other day a car passed me then swerved over the white line at the edge of the road and drove in the grass. Really??

Mood: Nervous/hopeful? Still no results on the stress test. I’ll call today. Hoping no news is good news though?

Would you wear a ‘runsie’? Did you have braces as a kid?

    No I would not wear a runsie. You have to be Elle McPherson or a super fast legit runner to get away with that crap. Over 40 slowish mom? No way.

    I wanted braces so so much and the stupid dentist told my mom he wouldn’t bother sending me. Asshole. Now I’m stuck with this giant overbite and my bottom teeth are hopelessly crooked. My kids are so spoiled. All three will have them if their teeth are the slightest bit imperfect. I think it’s worth the money for a lifetime of a perfect smile.

    Michelle I assure you there was nothing badass or legit about this runsie. It was like a sunsuit a toddler would wear. A tank and shorts bonded by elastic at the middle. IMO gross!

    Love that running path, looks so gorgeous (and soft on your body!)

    I’m not into the runsie idea either, that’s a little weird!

    Must go to the web site and check out this runsie. Making me laugh just thinking of it!

    That trail looks great!

    Keeping fingers crossed for you.

    We saw the runsie in Vancouver for Seawheeze and had a lot of laughs. We joked about buying one when it was in “we made too much”. I am mystified by how it gets on and how you go to the bathroom. Maybe diapers are needed???

    Had braces – yup! Have night guard now. So sexy!

    I had braces too. The worst part about them is that they made my teeth super sensitive to temperature changes (even after 15 yrs of using Sensodyne). It makes that ice cream a little easier to resist.

    Is a runsie basically a romper made out of technical material? Yeah, no.

    I did indeed have braces and then after they came off I compared before and after pictures and my teeth looked the same. I think my parents may have gotten taken for a ride by the dentist.

    not diggin the runsie either!! I am so behind on my mags, but largely because I am reading so many books!

    I had braces for four years and so agree with the dentist sentiment. They should get more than waffle cones!

    I’m starting to get antsy waiting for your results!

    I recently discovered the awesomeness of that ice cream, the version I got was strawberry chocolate waffle cone

    Some people really are inconsiderate to runners – or even people on bikes. When I run, I usually do it at the state park because I am afraid that I’ll get run over if I run on the street.

    I hope those runsies come with crotch clips. Imagine having to wrestle one off when you’re desperate for the toilet and sticky with sweat. I can see disaster written all over it.

  13. Marcia says

    September 19, 2013 at 3:58 pm

    Char there are no clips. It is pure insanity.

    I’m going to pass on the whole runsie thing!!
    I actually had braces as an adult – the good thing is it is still fresh in my mind and makes me much more sympathetic with the boys and their braces pain! (although I still have limits on how much sympathy I can dole out!)

    No runsie for me but that path is beautiful! Still sending good thoughts for the test results!

    No to runsie or braces. Although why not to the runsie, triathletes do it. Love the note at the dentist and hope you find out your results soon.

    Runsie… hmmm never heard of that before! Whatever it is, not really diggin’ it. lol! 🙂

    Umm, a runsie sounds positively awful. And uncomfortable!

  19. Tink says

    Funny, I asked myself the same question last night when I bought 2 bags of the candy corn M&Ms!

  20. Robin says

    September 20, 2013 at 7:16 am

    I’m pretty confident that there’s absolutely no way, you could ever get me to wear a runsie!!

  21. Mandy says

    September 20, 2013 at 1:07 pm

    I’m shuddering just picturing a runsie in my head.

    I love Resturant Impossible!

marciashealthyslice I'm a working mom who, as part of a mid-life challenge, decided to run a marathon for kicks. I didn't plan on it becoming a hobby, but it did. I qualified for Boston at my second marathon and finished the 6 World Marathon Majors in London in 2019. Set no small goals. You never know what you're capable of until you try!
