WORKOUT -
Cardio & Strength class -
60 mins
Walked dog -
2 miles
You know when you wake up well-rested and ready to take on the day and kill it?
Yeah, that was so not me today. I slept in late, felt like dog poo and nearly missed the 8am class. And I would have skipped it had Sheila not been waiting for me.
If you’re lacking motivation and need that accountability to get your workouts in, make plans with a friend. That way you feel like a total loser when you skip out on them.
Loser face:
Wore my new BIC Band (love the fun print and I love all things grey) and 26.2 head (on sale now!) to toe.
I was thinking about doing a few miles to try out my new purple Mizuno Wave Rider 15s (how sillycute are they?!), but I just wasn’t feeling like running post-class.
Since I sweated it out with Sheila this morning that means I’m back in California even though girl’s from Chi-town.
It was a whirlwind trip and I didn’t see much of Chicago and apparently picked the worst deep dish joint in the history of the world (it was close by and delivered! and I didn’t want to move from my bed!), but it was an amazing experience.
Not amazing was the move I pulled: I accidentally left my camera cord at the hotel so I can’t get any pictures off of it, but I only had a couple and I already ordered a new cord for $2.99. I did take a pic of the shiny black Escalade that was waiting to take me to the airport yesterday.
{It was exactly like this minus Gwen Stefani}
A car just for me to take me to the airport?!
It’s not lost on me how crazy it is that opportunities like this arise from having a silly, little narcissistic blog. insane. I mean, I was raised in a log house on an island in Alaska… our cars were polar bears.
I guess what I’m saying is that I don’t ever want to become jaded and take the small things (or big things) for granted. Might as well be appreciative rather than expect it, right?
And that I’m totally awesome. totally.
Who else takes pictures of plastic-wrapped automatic toilets in the airport?
Seriously, how much less cleaning would you have to do if you had one of these in your house?

OMG we’re at the Ryder Cup and the worst deep dish decision of my life

haha I’ve def taken pictures of those same toilets in New York! Its the little things in life
where can i get one of toilets, genius for the OCD freak inside
It is nuts the stuff that happens just because you have a blog. Not even free stuff and events, but meeting people is pretty awesome.
Aren’t you glad you have comments to let you know when you do things like pick the worst deep dish? LOL Even I laughed at some of those comments.
And nope, life and experiences should never be taken for granted. Sometimes hard to remember.
Love the toilets at O’Hare.
One of life’s little pleasures…..
I’m so glad I’m not the only person amazed by the plastic toilet seat cover thingy. The only bad part is if you don’t wave your hand over it to replace the old one :-/
I love-ity, love love those Mizunos! Not only is Mizuno my running shoe brand of choice, I even have a pair of capri running tights in those colors! Might be doing a little shopping this weekend
I took the exact same picture of the toilets at O’Hare when I was there last year. I was slightly disturbed but completely intrigued.
glad to know im not the only one.
Haha! I remember those toilets at O’hare. Scared the crap out of me …I barely was done and it was flushing and zipping the plastic around so fast. And then I couldn’t get the water to work in the sink. Funny
We know your cool
don’t you worry! We’ll keep you grounded! I mean ONLY 299 miles this month? Lame…seriously. 
You’re bad for me SR. You make me want to shop online all day…must get the Wave Rider 15′s in that color (though I won’t this time), and I want more Bic Bands. I already bought more compressions socks today.
I think it’s so awesome to see your blog grow and all the success and opportunities you’re getting. You deserve it, enjoy it but you’re right…no one likes a person who expects it. No one. 
Have a fab weekend.

All public restrooms give me the heebie jeebies.
what a trip! Next time you should try better pizza, but I am still a NY style pizza girl
It was great meeting you and learning a bit about golf together! I hope everyone enjoyed your gifts!
I live in Chicago (obviously) and I get excited about those toilets every single time I’m at the airport. They are the absolute best!
(When you come back for the marathon, I highly recommend Lou Malnati’s for a better pizza experience, but everyone has their favorites.)
Love that toilet! I need one of those!
SR, your attitude rocks. One of the many reasons I love your site is that you keep everything real, even if you are making quite a name for yourself out in the interwebz.
I think those toilets are cool/crazy. I kinda worry that the plastic cover just goes ’round and ’round and gets reused.
We have those toilets in our airport in NOLA and it’s pretty much the only thing about the airport that’s awesome.
Not airport toilets but my hotel rooms, yes. Hmm…maybe I should scare the wits outta everyone in the ladies the next time I’m in an airport washroom.
Sweet shoes! I love making workout plans with friends. It’s the only way to guarantee I keep plans no matter how lazy I feel.
You are awesome-and I love how humble you are! : )
Also-I want your life. That’s all!
Except one more thing: I NEED those toilets in my house. Or a cleaning lady. Guess I need another job to get either of those things…
I love Mizunos and am currently rocking them in purple too. Those toilets are strangely interesting and I would kill to see a picture of your polar bear car!
Ooooo yeah nice kicks!!!!
Even good deep dish is pretty bad. Just my opinion.
