Question of the Day
When you eat salsa, do you dip or scoop? Why?
After 5 Saturdays with races...
I think I need next weekend off. My dad’s calf is bothering him and I’m fine (physically), but hopefully we can find a Father’s Day race to do together!
Who's entering my giveaway?
Here it is!!! What do you want to see in the next giveaways in Healthybuddha’s Summer Giveaway Series?
I ran and walked 6 miles today, all before noon.
What have you done today?

Save the Trail 5k Race Recap
On this hot and miserably humid morning, I broke my PR…yet again.
The morning started out with us (me, my dad, my stepmom, and baby brother) walking to the 5k start/finish…it was only 1.5mi away. We already picked up our packets last night, so we were in no hurry to get there, but when we finally did we just waited around, really.
The course was really bizarre; it was an...

Picked up my race packet for tomorrow's 5k--Bikram...
In the “swag bag” was a sample of “Endurance Tea Blend” (which is advertised as aiding in faster recovery after a workout), various coupons to different sponsors’ stores, and a coupon to attend a Bikram yoga class for free! Have any of you tried Bikram yoga? What should I expect, if I decide to use my coupon?
By the way, I’m fully planning on using Zombies,...
I've always disliked dark chocolate.
However, I’ve slowly been getting used to it. I’m up to 60% cacao right now. I just have to get used to the bitterness.

I'm thinking I should convince my family...
to have Mexican food tonight. I got that gift card from work the other day…we should use it! :) We could call in our order, pick it up, and enjoy yummy food without cooking in a hot kitchen on a miserably hot/humid day.

Just a typical morning, running from Zombies.
So, I got the iPhone 4 last weekend and, of course, immediately downloaded the Zombies, Run! app. I listened to part of the first mission on my way to work the other day—I was speed walking, but still not the same as running, right? Anyways, today I wanted to go on an easy 1.5 mile run, just to get loosened up for my 5k tomorrow morning.
What was supposed to be a 1.5 mile run ended up being...
No work tomorrow or Saturday!
Days off make me a happy girl!

Whenever I post a picture of a smoothie...
I get asked for the recipe and I never have one. I just throw things in the blender and go at it! Usually, I have whatever fruit I want, greek yogurt, a touch of almond milk, and protein powder. I usually like my smoothies thick, so I use bananas and avocados to add thickness and creaminess.

I was enjoying reading out in the sun...
Until my neighbor started mowing his lawn with his ridiculously loud lawn mower.
At work, I got a free gift card to a Mexican...
While I was at work today, a guy from the Mexican restaurant down the street stopped in and said they were handing out free chips and salsa to local businesses. Since I was the one at the register, and the one he handed the chips to, he said he would even give me a free gift card. So, now I have a $25 gift card! I can’t wait to go in and try it. I was looking at their menu online and it...

Ran out of contacts this morning.
I literally have one left. Guess I’ll be sporting my glasses for a few days. Thankfully, I went online to reorder my contacts and my prescription expires at 5pm tonight! I’m so lucky to have gone online when I did. I had them overnighted and hopefully they’ll be here soon—after all, I can’t run in glasses.

Working from 4 to closing.
Anyone want to go to work for me? Argh, I’m just not feeling it today.
Perhaps, I’ll leave early and get froyo before my shift starts…

I. Hate. Medical. Bills.
A year ago, I had my yearly eye exam to renew my contact/glasses prescription. Since then, I’ve gotten 3 bills from the eye place…all because they filed my insurance incorrectly. Every time I got a bill, I called them and they told me they filed the claim wrong and would fix it immediately.
Yesterday, I got a bill in the mail from a debt collector! At first I thought it was a scam,...
