WORKOUT -
Ran outside -
13.25 miles/1:49
hills and trails
I ran some new trails and roads today, got lost, ended up in a neighboring town and had a Dean Karnazes moment. kinda awesome.
Outfit details because hey, we’re vain girls and all we care about is clothes, right?
*Free visor from Refuel with Chocolate Milk – I used to not like visors but with the sunny weather, I’m realizing they’re pretty righteous.
*Walmart workout tank top – it has a subtle leopard print and since I’m a closet RHONJ wannabe, I gotta get in my animal prints somewhere.
*New Moving Comfort Vixen sports bra in lime green
*Pro socks – on sale now
*Mizuno Wave Rider 14s (on sale at RRS) – word on the street is the new WR 16s are coming out soon. need.
I took Monday and Tuesday off as rest days, something I normally don’t do.
Besides walking the dog, I didn’t do anything physical, but I did catch up on a lot of life stuff, all the stuff that doesn’t make it on the blog.
I’ve been a little stressed with said life stuff, but nothing that a little sweet wine can’t fix…
My good girlfriend Reese gave me this bottle of Flirtations Moscato from Opolo Winery in Paso Robles.
We went wine tasting at Opolo last year when we were in Paso for the marathon. Maybe we’ll go there again when I run the race on October 28th? You know, only if Trader Joe’s 2 Buck Chuck winery is too fancy for us.
My main man has been a stud in the kitchen backyard lately, grilling up a storm. The other night he made filet mignon kebabs and last night was chicken fajitas. A short order cook and free wine? I need to get stressed out more often.

Have you read Caitlin from Caitchock’s running blog? She’s a former elite athlete who loves to write and draw as well as all things running.
She has supernicely offered to draw a few SR comics that I’m going to post every so often…
Amen, sister. Truer words have never been spoken.
Check out Caitlin’s blog for lots of running tips or if you’re looking for a running writer.

whoa, i could only hope to run 13.2 miles in that time. great job!!
what food to i run for? hahahaha…food!!! i like to eat. pretty good eater but now and then need some bad stuff.
I run for french fries & beer!! Or cheese, bread and wine…depending on what mood I’m in!
I love grill nights! The bonus is no pots and pans to wash. That cartoon is cute. I run for my sanity. I have 3 children, and one is in college! nuff said.
My friend and I are running two marathons together in the next couple of weeks and we’ve been brainstorming for desserts to make as our rewards.
I run for french fries too. Red Robin is the BOMB! Gosh I haven’t had it in a long time either.
I plan to start taking the munchkin out in the jogger soon- new kids in town running about! Watch out west Texas. LOL
What was in the bowl next to the chicken fajitas? Pico de Gallo??
yep, pico. he even made his own! but it was way too spicy for me.
I think those fajitas look great. I run for bags of swedish fish, hershey bars, margaritas, bacon, and more margaritas.
Definitely a ginormous bowl of Cherry Berry yogurt with all the chocolate, nutty, cookie dough toppings you can imagine!
Yay for husbands who take over & grill up awesomeness. Looks fab.
I run for the sweat & endorphins & food wise: fro yo with toppings, caramel ice cream, sweet potato fries, and warm choc chip cookies.
WINGS! And of course the gallon of ranch dressing that it takes to eat 6 wings.
Need a trip to Costco for more carrots. And half and half for my coffee. Milk just won’t do.
The Kidless Kronicles
I run for:
Froyo
Starburst jelly beans
Hot tamales
Ice cream
Cake
Dove Dark Chocolate
Red wine
and IPA beers
I love RHNJ! I think we should all wear a tiger sports bra with black running shorts trimmed in tiger print with the biggest poneytail ever!
I run for cheese fries with ranch to dip them in. Sooo good *rubs belly*
I run for the carrot cake, the chocolate cake, the red velvet cake, the german chocolate cake, the strawberry cake, the birthday cake, the get well cake, the surprise “it’s nobody’s birthday but we all need cake” in the teacher’s lounge cake, the baby just got baptized cake, the wedding cake, the sheet cake, the icecream cake.
in summary there’s no cake that i wouldnt shove down my piehole, or, er cake hole as it were. I run for all cakes. I dont discriminate.You’re the skinny runner. im the cake runner.
Hope your wednesday has been wonderful!
I have been a little stressed with life stuff lately too. I’ll need to try some wine, unfortunately my hubs is out of town so no chef for me right now! Food I run for: pizza, cookies, ice cream, cheesecake (I could keep going…).
Ice cream. And the RHONJ are a hot mess!! Now that’s great television!
Wow, took me a while to figure out what RHONJ meant. I despise most “reality” tv, so I’m not surprised.
Anyway, I run for ice cream, pizza and BEER! Yes, all of them in the same meal if possible.
I’m pretty obsessed with all of the Real Housewives shows except for Miami. Can’t get into that one. Bev Hills, OC, NYC, and NJ..love love love. I need a life.
I run for any and all bad food: chips, chocolate, pizza, etc.
I run for the heavy Korean food (rice and meat dish, fried green onion pancake, etc.)!
I kind of love when I get lost and end up exploring more places on the trails, too!
Skinny Runner – it always cracks me up that you think you need to run more miles to look like a super model – you already do. I do love that you encourage people to run their own pace even though you are super fast! I run to eat cupcakes and pizza *dalish*. Thanks for being an awesome blogger.
In this order: craft beer, cake/cupcakes, any red candy, and cheese-it’s.
And you Nichole Richie add on the bottom of the page is giving my iPad seizures!
ill let my ad company know, thank you!
Love the purple headband. I run for rootbeer cake, or at least that’s what I’m craving at the moment.
I’m going to meet your friend Monica this week at the Fitbloggin Conference. Can’t wait!
sweatismysanity.com
awesome, thanks for featuring that SR!!
i’m a total sweets person so have to say Pop-Tarts of the S’mores variety or cream cheese filled coffee cake with those little crumby balls on top…omg…food-gasm.
I run for oriental salad, ranch style beans, tacos tacos and more tacos, and flamin’ hot limon cheetos. Sometimes I actually day dream about food while I am running. It helps me up my distance
I’m going to start doing pushups over my food too! Multitasking!
I run for chocolate, candy and french fries. All healthy and nutritious stuff ya know!
I’m a jersey girl through and through!!!! I bleed animal print!! lol I def run for beer, fries, burgers and wegmen’s chocolate cake.
Pasta, of course
I run for ice cream, unreal amounts of pb, skittles, and cake with extra icing. I love eating it all knowing that killer run I just had tasted as sweet as this bowl of ice cream.
I run for Buffalo Wild Wings and Five Guys! My bf and I are training for our first marathon (Chicago, getting close!!) and the only way we’ve been able to get through some of those killer long runs is in knowing that we get to chow down on some greasy wings, burgers and fries!
Just bought my first pair of ProCompression socks too!
Oh, I love that tank!
The food I work out for changes everyday. Chocolate, ice cream, fried sushi, Mexican.
Mainly, I run for Chase Crawford….
Gosh-what food do I NOT run for?

I have to second that comment! But if I had to pick something, I’d say oreos, sushi, cheese & bread….not all in the same meal =)
Crisps! Be they potatoes or rice or anything!
I’m super stressed (not kidding!) about my feet – left heel is recovering and right PF flaring up – really could do with some TLC, nice dinner and positive vibes, prayers!
Chocolate. Definitely chocolate.
I run for icecream. That’s all!
