Happy Friday the 13th!
I don’t know about you, but this week flew on by. Maybe it has something to do with the 50 degree — yep, 50 degree — weather on Wednesday and the fact that the snow is finally, slowly melting.
Or maybe it’s because I started my week on such a high note — a book party to celebrate the new Tales from Another Mother Runner book with Sarah Bowen Shea and Dimity McDowell, where I got to hang with some fierce fellow mother runners.
Anyway, here’s a look back at some of my Instagram faves from the past week.
1. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to buy my own Another Mother Runner shirt (I also bought a long-sleeved version, too!). Can’t wait to rock this shirt this spring and summer.
2. Mimi has discovered how to draw people and it is so. freaking. cute. I forgot about this stage when Buddy was small, the little blob-like figures with stick arms and legs. I know this sounds crazy, but it makes her seem so much older now, you know?
3. My friends at Stonyfield sent a sample of their OP strawberry protein smoothie and, wow, was I impressed. I admit to being a little skeptical about the strawberry flavor; while I heart strawberries, I’m generally not a fan of strawberry-flavored things. But this tasted more like real strawberries instead of faux-strawberry. And with 15 grams of protein, it’s the perfect post-workout treat (which I when I enjoyed it).
4. Hey, it’s Sarah and Dimity from Another Mother Runner at the book party. Hi, ladies!
5. Okay, here’s a dirty little blogger secret. We love swag bags. But for me it’s more than just about getting free stuff; I love having the opportunity to try new products I might not ordinarily purchase…mostly because I’m a Type A creature of habit and change is hard. Lol. That’s why I’m so psyched about the swag bag we got at the Tales from Another Mother party. I’m already a huge Nuun fan (I’m obsessed with their watermelon flavor) but I’ve never tried Nuun All Day. I also heard lots of my fellow mother runners that night shriek with delight when they saw the packet of Salted Caramel Gu in the bag; I’m definitely curious to give it a try, along with the Gu Chomps. And I’ve already run in the Sof Sole socks — love them!
Tomorrow is my 5K with Buddy … weather permitting. The forecast looks a little sketchy but I’m trying to think positively. Send some good weather vibes our way!
