Home Sweet Home

After a solid 8 days in paradise

I am back at home trying to get reacquainted with the real world. You know, the one where I have responsibility and do not get to lay out all day. I don’t quite remember where I work or what my job is but I am pretty sure I have to show up tomorrow. Although vacay is officially over there are some perks to being back home.

My two favorite little ones loving their Hawaiian hurricane popcorn. 

Cooking a pot of sauce. I am not a meat eater but this is the exception to the rule! There is nothing like it. Nothing. So blessed to have grown up in an Italian family.

Baking cookies. I came back from vacation down 2 pounds so that alone justifies these babies.

Running

Because that is what this blog is about right? Sadly it hasn’t happened in a week now. After the Warrior Challenge I figured I would take a few days off and just crosstrain. A few days turned into I didn’t run the rest of the time in Hawaii. Oooopppsssss. I planned on getting back on track YESTERDAY and then the whole time change thing happened. It is crazy how wacky 3 hours can be! Buuttttttt this is rest is good for my achilles right? It is mostly sore when I wake up in the morning and then fades away. I feel like I am ready for a good long run but will start off slow with low mileage tomorrow.  

In AWESOME news I was selected to be a Nike Product Tester! Yeehhhaaawwwww! I am super excited about this 🙂 Maybe it’s a sign that I should be going up to San Fran in a few weeks to run the Nike Women’s Marathon?? Hmmmmmmmm. Something to think about 🙂

Fall Is Here

And I see a giveaway in our future…
