Non-food Current Shame-Inducing Guilty Pleasure:

This month our beach vacation was the big indulgence.

Night runs on the beach

Bonding with my chica

Running at dawn on the beach during a storm

Boardwalk!

Barefoot morning runs on the beach

A new kind of technical trail

Building our washout prevention system

Taking in the view with the family

Ice skating

Sharing my "find of the run" with everyone back at the condo

Eating, eating, eating

Being silly

Watching S'ghetti girl overcome some fears

Sharing another amazing week with my kiddos

 

and the whole crew!

okay we are missing a few.  Sorry to the Big Kid and Biking Sherpa

 

Which Outfit did I Wear the Most:

One More Mile

"I might not pass you but I will out last you."

What We Are Watching:

With the Kiddos:

The Lorax

over and over and over again.

My Viewing:

Are you kidding?  Without treadmill runs I never get to watch tv.  Those kids of mine better figure out that they can watch their shows on the kid tv soon because Survivor will start soon.

 

Funniest/Best Kid Quote:

Conversation between Biking Sherpa and LBM while on vacation.  They were sitting together playing a game on a tablet.

 

Biking Sherpa, "LBM why do you have the hiccups?"

 

LBM, "From stealing."

 

Biking Sherpa, "What's stealing?"

 

LBM, "Rude."

Having the majority of the moving done.

Dropped a few of the pounds I need to lose.

To continue to work towards a family schedule.
