Ahh, week two is over. Oh, I forgot to mention I started a new job 2 weeks ago. But we will talk about that later. For now, I'm looking forward to the weekend. I am surprising the Champ by taking him to the drive in this weekend for a major make out session- cause thats what you're suppose to do at those things right? Yeah...
But for real, I cant wait its a double feature for $8 bucks. You can get much better then that. I plan on bringing those mini bottles of wine to go along with our monster tub of popcorn and jumbo size hot dogs. I kinda cant wait, I've been lathering on the chapstick all week...
So here are some fun things I came across this week...
Have you heard of Designlovefest? Me neither, but apparently this chick's blog is kind of a big deal and the what got me was her awesome smartphone wall papers. Click here and take a look. She calls this series "Dress Your Tech."
What? I can buy running shoes and beer at the same time? I'll drink to that...
Ok, I'm keeping it short and sweet I've got to get my jog in before I head to work!

Well, the weekend is almost upon us. Usually I'm ready for it but this week has been rather restful due to the ice storm! I spent the past 3 days cooped up in the house. But don't worry I made the most of it. I worked out every day, cooked, read ahhh it was relaxing.
But that whole rested feeling will go away when I wake up in the wee hours for "the big run." To tell the truth I'm nervous about this run. I have never had any timed goals for my marathons- I just wanted to finish. But this time, I have a timed goal and its giving me the jitters! Seriously, I've been questioning my abilities! Luckily, I've gotten the jitters before (for different reasons) and know its just part of the journey.
I will tell you how the run goes on Monday! In the meantime, here are some funs sites to look at!
Looking to change your blog up? Design seeds has some cool color palates to inspire you.
Were you part of the "Fitness Cliff "on February 7th?
Want to know what your eating? Check out Karielyn, over at Healthy Family and Home as she breaks down the benefits of the most go-to foods for cooking in 5 fast facts.
The Champ bought me a juicer for Christmas and I've been just tossing in whatever ruffage I have in the fridge not knowing the benefits or lack there of. Luckily, I came across this juicing calculator. It allows you find out the nutrients, calories and all that good stuff. It also allows you to switch over and see the difference between juiced and raw. Love.
I came across this chick, Julie Lee awhile back when she was just taking photos of random food as art. But now she is taking pictures of seasonal produce each month over at Free the People's blog. I so have a new appreciation for her work! Especially since I have no idea what is in season or not. My new go to before shopping. Be sure to check it out here!

Yay for the weekend. I will be meeting up with the Bird tonight to take these two on a walk.
As for the rest of the weekend I don't have anything planned except for my 18 miler. I actually woke up this morning thinking it was Saturday and was mentally preparing myself for the run until I realized dur, its only Friday. So um, yeah the run is on my mind.
Here are some things I thought were cool and wanted to share!
The 10 best fitness trackers on the market. Do you own any?
So turns out there very little difference between treadmill and outdoor running... I knew it!
36 ways running improves your life and makes you a stronger, better person via Angry Jogger. He may be a tad on the feisty side but he is almost always right!
Love it, The 10 most fascinating facts about the all-time Winter Olympics medal standings
Have a great weekend!
As always it should be entertaining.

Happy Friday!
This week has been a weird one due to the ice and snow. But I took advantage of being locked in and cross trained like a beast. I also took Eddie on about 20 walks a day. I had no idea how much he would love the snow.
I'm not sure what is going on this weekend. I have a 16 miler scheduled for Saturday and its my father's birthday so we will most likely be driving to their part of town for something festive.
In the meantime here are some cool thinks I came across this week!
Cameron Diaz writes The Body Book and talked about it on Fox News Latino. Ms. Fit talks about how working out has become much more in her life then working out, it is something she physically and emotionally depends on. I couldn't agree more! I may have to get this book...
Did you hear that Chocolate toothpaste is hitting store shelves? Are you going to try it?
I was a Vegetarian when I started dating my meat lovin man. Ever wonder what men think of women vegetarians? What do you think about their comments?
LA to hold US Olympic Trials. Do you know anyone that qualified? Will you watch it?

Friday Finds II
Hello weekend! I have missed you so! How about you guys? I had a great week and got some good strong runs in too.
Who knew Mr. Ed the Borgi (Border collie/corgi) would be the worlds best hill repeater!
We both were huffing and puffing and kicking some hill's ass the other night.
Then another night The Bird and Lexi joined us for some intervals.
The Champ may have taken about 50 shots to get this picture....
Oh, see that scarf the Bird is wearing, I made that with my own two hands. I know, so crafty...
Anyway, here are some things I came across this week and wanted to share!
What do you think of the new Boston Marathon gear? Fashion fail or win for runners?
Epic Trail Run? I think so...
If you are a 50 Shades of Grey fan and a runner this might be your dream race. Have you heard about the "Forget 50 Shades of Grey-X-rated is 50 Shades of Mud"? If not check out this little running adventure here!
Kick ass song of the week. Korn got the life. Seriously, this song was made for hill repeats. I really got my arms pumping and I attacked those hills. Thanks Korn! I wonder if they know this song inspires some of us running folks to kick it up a notch. ;)

Friday's Finds
So how was your week?
Mine was pretty good. Except the morning I got up at 5 to get some miles in on my tredmil and it blew a fuse. But that didn't stop me from getting my work out on. I figured, what the hell I'm up I might as well go for a jog in I don't know 5 degree weather. Maybe that's not bad for some of you but thats crazy cold down here in Georgia.
(After about ten minutes I felt great)
I took the mutt with me, it was our first morning run of the season <3.
Of course this called for a photo! Yeah, it was kind of a fail hes licking his chomps in the photo.
But dang we're cute...and blurry.
Although it was cold I think the mutt had a pretty good time. He has never ran with me while I had my head lamp on and I shined it right on him.
No lie, he pranced like he was some fancy horse.
So here are some cool things to check out this weekend!
Smart socks unveiled at CES 2014. Say What?! Read about it here!
Six overly ambitious New Years Resolutions! Are any of these on your list? Read it here!
Do you have a a running mantra? According to Robert J. Bell, Ph.D., a certified consultant of the Association for Applied Sport Psychology it helps! Read it here!
Ass shaking song of the week. Dont judge, it took a few times of listening to it before I fell in love. Avril Lavigne's Hello Kitty. Meow.
What are you doing this weekend?
What's going on that I missed this week in this wonderful world?
