WORKOUT -
Ran on TM -
10.0 miles/1:16
1.0 incline
Walked – 3.6 miles
I was going to run outside, but it’s seventy eleventeen degrees here so I took it inside to the AC.
I ran 8.0 miles in 60 minutes exactly but really had to bust my humps to do it. And then did 2 more to hit 10.
And then did some yodeling and walking with this craycray:
DINNER DATE
Last night a group of us girls went out to dinner at Souplantation because it’s UNLIMITED salad and the only person I know who eats as much salad as I do is this girl.
And Heather came up big with a coupon. done deal. If you aren’t using coupons, you’re living in a 2007 pre-recession world.
-
The red skinny jeans are from Nordstrom Rack Juniors section; the brand is Love Fire.
By the way, if you’re buying skinny jeans, you might want to go a size up. And If I’m in the junior section, I almost always am a size bigger… dang 14 year old girls.
-
The tank is a Splendid tank from Nordstrom Rack; love these looser, super soft tanks.
-
The striped sweater was on sale at Victoria’s Secret.
-
The wedges are Diane von Furstenberg bought on sale at Neiman Marcus. I really want these wedges but can’t find them on sale anywhere and don’t want to pay that much for them. poor me, I know.
-
The hat is a kids Volcom hat that my husband bought me.
-
The blue Kate Spade Stevie bag was a gift from my mom (love this bag and have it in three colors).
Onto dinner….
Pam being the super thoughtful superstud she always is, brought us all coupons for dinner cut out in a Pinterest-approved way:
Group shot:
{Sheila and her kids, Pam, Julie and Heather}
I want to sit down and have story time with Julie and hear all about her tattoos, but I don’t know if it’s rude to ask? And I don’t know why that would even stop me because it’s not like I’m not rude?!
Just kidding, I try to be polite, Mom. LOVE YOU, MA!
Side note: go tell your mom or someone in your life you love them. Just do it.
Thanks Nike, for that sponsored ad.
Heather’s running the Disneyland half this weekend and has a sweet costume made. pretty jealous, party of one.
Anyone racing this weekend?
I’m thinking about it…

Not racing this weekend, but I am going to Disneyland! (which I would choose over racing this weekend)
Those red pants are amazing. I love your hat too! You look super gorgeous!
I absolutely love your skinny jeans! Okay, now I need to go shopping…
Glad you had a good time at dinner! I’m not racing until October which is driving me a little nuts. I think I might sign up for a slew of half marathons after that to make up for my lack of racing.
Cute jeans, love the Souplantation!!
Very cute outfit. You are welcome to come pick out my clothes for me anytime. I am clueless.
Yes! Whole family is doing the stroller division of the 5K on Saturday and everyone but grandmom and babies are in for the half-marathon on Sunday. No fancy costumes, just neon green shirts.
I don’t think I’m racing this weekend. I’m heading to San Diego for vacation, but if there happened to be a race there, I just might have to jump in at the last minute!
Do you watch Newsroom? Your Nike inspired quote was similar to one in the season finale.
no i dont watch it. actually never heard of it.
in other breaking news, im super lame and unhip.
we need another souplantation date to ask Julie ’bout her tatts.
k…Sheila’s kiddo needs a “ticket” for photobombing in the last pic…rude!
Uh one way trip to ticket town it is! And yes, I agree – Julie, tat-telling sesh in the future please?!
I’ve really been wanting to buy some clothes from Victoria Secret, but I HATE that there are no actual stores which sell the clothes. At least not here in New England… How do the clothes run? For example, what size was the sweater you’re wearing? I’m not sure if I should go small or medium!
yeah i ordered it online. the sweater actually runs pretty big but i always thought their clothes ran small?! maybe more of the tightfitted clothes do.
I always felt like they ran small, too.
I’m running Disnryland this weekend, too. It’s my first trip to CA and I’ll be getting my Coast to Coast medal. I’m also on track for a pretty stellar PR if everything goes according to plan.
good luck!!
I tried on those DVF wedges in TJ Maxx today!! They are there for $80 if you have a TJ Maxx in Cali?! Unfortunately they didn’t have any that fit my enormous feet. Boo.
you are so funny; it would not be rude. rude is when a man tells you he likes your pistol tattoo and then says my arms are like visual rape (what?!) – true story.
now i definitely do not feel bad.
Love the red skinny jeans! I have a white pair that I wear pretty often, but I wanna branch out and spring for some fun fall colors! However, I’m convinced that Labor Day rules also don’t apply to me.
Just voted for you on FB! Hope you win.
thank you!
Cute wedges – found these similar wedges: http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/clearance/shoes/womensjuniors/PRD~993920/Dana+Buchman+Espadrilles.jsp
I have the Nordy junior skinny jeans in teal…but as we were discussing last night – I can’t get them over my danged calves. #runnerproblems That’s what I get for buying without trying on.
Ha. I wish I could race this weekend. I’d be out there with the strollin oldies at the back of the pack lol.
Ive always wanted to go to a Souplantation. I love soup, and salad! I can shovel some soup down like its nobody’s business.
Love the red skinnys. I’ve got a pretty random 10K this weekend
Next time, who’s down for Sizzler?!
ME! love, love sizzler!! esp. the cheese toast!
No race this weekend but I’ll be doing plenty of running.
And YUM, I love Soupplantation (or Sweet Tomatoes as it is called in NorCal).
Nopez, not this weekend; just did the mini-marathon (Thai speak for 10.5km) in Songkhla this past Sunday (race recap is up!). And you’re probably the only second person I know who can pull off coloured jeans with aplomb (my bro-in-law being the other).
Heck Yea – this is #2 Wine Country Race for the year.
Oregon Wine Country home of the truffle and hazelnut – as well as Pinot Noir if you are into that.
Course change this year so I am excited to see what it has to offer.
This is the first race back after my bail on Tacoma and my Craptastic finish in Canada
(also hoping the break will allow me finish up my blog and get current.)
I will be running this race too! Did you see that at Station #4 (I think) one of the wineries is pouring tiny samples? Now that… is what I’m talkin’ bout.
Freaking Souplantation. Love that place. I better go there as much as possible now until my boys turn 3 and I have to pay for them.
What are you maybe going to race? Disneyland?
I’m not racing until the end of next month, thank goodness. I’ve decided I can’t run shorter races anymore, I hate them so much.
I am not signed up for any races this weekend, but I might do our local 5K/10K Labor Day race on Monday. My cycling season just ended and I am doing a quick transition from cyclist to runner this week–by killing myself at 2 bootcamps per day. So far I can still walk, but we’ll see how I feel come the weekend
We have Jason’s Delis around us that are also unlimited salad. One of my favorite restaurants!
I refuse to go to blogger meetups unless someone supplies me with some wine. And some bread. And some cheese.
I’m not invited to blogger meetups anymore…
I’m so jealous because I don’t know any bloggers in my area!
That’s so sweet that Pam brought coupons. I need friends that are that awesome!
Love the red skinny jeans! I was driving by some outlet stores yesterday and found skinny cords at J Crew. I picked out a bright coral pair and can’t wait to wear them. Now that I’ve seen your pics, I might have to copy your style and put together a similar outfit!
Kristen
I am running Disneyland this weekend!!!! I’m really excited. And as someone with ink, I don’t consider it rude when people ask me about it.
What are you thinking about running this weekend?
I’m doing the Women Rock MN half marathon this weekend. But, I’ll be cheering on three of my favorite running ladies as they attempt their first full marathon at the same race!! I’m so excited for them!
Now I want Sweet Tomatoes.
The Kidless Kronicles
I am supposed to be running the Women ROCK 10k on Sat but can’t due to an injury..stuipd ankle
I want to try Souplantation sometime, looks yummy! And no, it’s not rude to ask about tatoos. My hair stylist LOVES talking about her arms sleeves, why she got those tatoos, and what she wants to do next.
You gotta come try this class with me: http://shapedforfitness.wordpress.com/2012/08/28/boogie-box/. Deja and I are going on Mon, Sept 10th in Mission Viejo. Got 5 free classes for you!
what time is it? ill try to, i think i get back next thursday.
Cool! Class is at 7:00pm at Pacific Coast Dance Academy off Jeronimo, between Alicia & Los Alisos.
That salad bar looks redaqulous!! Color me jealous. Why must I live in BFE?! Also, not rude to ask about tatoos. My brother is very proud of his and why he got each one and likes it when people are interested and ask about them.
your workouts are so impressive! do you run that much on a daily basis?
if i have time and feel good, i try to get a run in. its my favorite type of exercise so its sorta a no-brainer for me. and it makes me less crazy
I’m racing!! Just a 5k, but hoping for a PR!!
Scratch that…..determined, head up, arms swinging, lungs burning -PR!!
I love Pam..(ok not as much as you), but we need to get her blogging! What is doing with all of her spare time? Cutting coupons and running? Geesh..how rude!
she actually has a private blog….
