I’m still growing + Tangents

Our last summer morning of us running at the same time in the mornings–> Brooke with her friends, and me with mine. 8 miles @ 8:27 average.

It was a girls’ afternoon, so we chose Zao’s for lunch because Andrew does not like this place, and we love it.

Then we had back-to-school night for all of the kids. My soul aches.

Now for probably too many tangents.

*I tried out these shorts (on sale!), and they are officially the best Athleta shorts EVER. The waistband is so comfy, the fabric is so light/airy, and there are plenty of pockets.

*A pic of the fabric on these shorts… I love the small detailed touch on them:

*I am POSITIVE this was Brooke’s bike yesterday, and now he is riding it.

*If I didn’t know any better, I would think Brooke and Curly were actual sisters.

*I had to show you the shoes Skye chose because they are so dang cute.

*Ummmmm if I ever do ultras again, I will buy this ice bandana. Brilliant.

*With school starting this week, I’m excited to lock in again with my running. I really thought I would keep up with at least one speed workout a week during the summer. I did not. But with the kids going back to school and a less hectic schedule, my two biggest goals are to get in a bit more training/strength training and eat at the dinner table again most nights.

*I have recently gotten taller. For as long as I’ve known, I have been 5’8.75″. UNTIL now. I am now 5’9.25″. That is half an inch of growth since the last time I was measured at a doctor’s office. I have been measured by multiple people now to confirm this growth… I HAVE GROWN AS AN ADULT. And the craziest part, my sister has, too. She has grown .75 inches! How crazy is this?? I wonder how long we will keep growing?

*They LOVE soccer together.

*This is the tint set that my niece uses on our eyebrows. She uses this brush to apply the tint on my eyebrows, too.

*Those of you on the sidelines often right now, please bring a NeeDoh with you to squish during games. This orange blob helps me to stay sane.

*When my niece (Curly, but her real name starts with an A) got back from Argentina, she saw my necklace and thought it stood for her name and mine. I should have let her keep believing that was the case.

*Have you ever tried Liquid Death? This one was AMAZING.

*Jess sent this to me because she knows our village:

*When you are eating a bowl of food, do you mix it all together or eat it in a wall fashion as Brooke does?

Any new goals for you with the school year starting?

Bowls of food–> Mix or wall?

Any popular food spots that others seem to love that you just don’t?

Any tangents?
