Three exciting things Thursday!

Part two of my memorial day weekend stories will have to wait...It is


THREE THINGS Thursday


1. Last night, I was privileged enough to be able to meet Sarah Bowen Shea, one of the authors of Run Like A Mother. I did not make it in time to run with her, but I did hear her read, have my book signed, win a giveaway, talk to her, comment that I cannot believe how tall she is and meet other really cool running Moms! It was a Blast! and I will get to see her again this weekend at Zooma Annapolis(my first 10k race).


See what I mean by tall? or Maybe I am just super short! I had on 5 inch heels!

2. Hot hot hot weather! I have been trying to get acclimated to the heat and humidity but it is tough! I read that if you do your runs at a slower pace in the heat of the day for a few weeks your body will get use to it! I set out yesterday at 2:00 p.m. it was 91 degrees and sticky....I had the jogger and I made it 2.5 very sweaty miles....I did fine but my face it was so hot it was purple! Although, I have to say when I sweat that much I just tell myself it is the fat melting right from me :)

3. Our little garden is starting to produce....well produce! We actually had enough crop from it Monday to make a salad! It is so fun to grow veggies and be able to cook and eat them! The kids are in heaven when they get a crop and this makes me happy, I feel like this is one step closer to driving home healthy eating!

Our "Garden" Salad! everything in it is from our Garden!!!

I hope every one has a great Thursday....I have another giveaway coming so keep watching!!

  1. How cool you met SBS! Is that a Lululemon store? And does SBS have a sport bra on over her top? Probably not, it's early.
    Love that you're harvesting already and look at those cuties!

  8. Hey Erica--Very cute pic of the two of you (although I, like somebody else, is wondering what she's wearing???). I've got about five inches on SBS, so we'd make a good pic! :) Good luck in your 10k! Dimity

  10. Good luck in the 10k! So jealous of the garden. Our yard is too shady to successfully grow things.
