mish mash

Hey there. Here’s what’s been going on in my life lately. Mostly through food.

I saw this in the grocery store the other day:

Crunchy!?! I think my life is now complete. However, I didn’t even buy it! I know, I totally should have bought it strictly for ‘blog research purposes.’ Next time, promise. I did, however, get this:

Which is absolutely delicious. There’s something about the Peanut Butter & Co. brand that just can’t be topped. It’s a little gritty, but in the most delicious way. Go ahead and get yourself some. I’m still dying to try The Heat Is On and Mighty Maple.

I think I’ve finally gotten the hang of french braiding my own hair. It’s one of those things that seems simple to master, but I just never got around to learning. I’ve been practicing a lot, and I think I’ve (mostly) got it down. Yay for easy, pretty summer hair!

Sometimes I forget I have nifty kitchen gadgets and it’s like Christmas when I re-discover them. Popsicle mold was one of these things. I made honey berry greek yogurt pops the other day. Best. Breakfast. Ever. High in protein too!

Marathon training, I’m ready for you.

Kinda. Please don’t kill me.

There have been some c.r.a.z.y. summer storms down here, which produce some amazing skies. Half the sky was bright and sunny and the other half was dark and threatening. I think I’ve come to terms with the fact that my camera will never do the sky’s beauty justice though.

Whole Foods Hot Bar = Love. Especially the tofu fried chicken. Southern comfort food right there.

#don’tjudgeme They’re not bad. The filling kinda tastes like Dunkaroo cream. At least they’re vegan?

Running group has been going well so far. We’re still only a few runs in and today’s run was actually cancelled due to excessive heat. We had a ‘heat clinic’ last week after the Thursday run, where this dude gave us advice to prevent overheating/dehydration/death while running when it’s boiling outside. A lot of it actually overlapped with my post on the subject. We also got to try a bunch of Nuun flavors, which I’ve decided I’m a fan of. Just another running-related thing to spend my money on….

In other news, OLYMPICS START TOMORROW!!!??! I freaking love the Olympics, especially the summer ones. Who else is pumped!?
