Friday Favorites

Love me some Friday Favorites. Let's talk about the best parts about today thus far.

Photo on 2011 04 08 at 11 22 2

Dipping a marshmallow the size of an infants head into my hot chocolate and taking a bite out of a chocolate cloud of heaven.

Wearing my shorts this morning that I just got in the mail from the Dog Town 1/2 Marathon.....I didn't make it very far before my leg started hurting but let's think of a positive spin on it because it is Friday Favorites........my guns are getting pretty scary looking from focusing on lifting more than running and I am finally learning to listen to my body and STOP when it tells me to rather than saying, 'just one more mile.'

These PB Protein Balls from HOLLEY (you will LOVE her blog and wish her good luck for her SLC Marathon next Saturday!!!) she has the recipe on her blog for them. Make them now. 4 pb balls=one serving in my book, I couldn't help myself.

Wearing my NEW BALANCE minimus running shoes. I LOVE walking in them and wear them everywhere and as soon as I can get some miles in them I will be doing a full review and dare I say it....A SHOE GIVEAWAY!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What are your FAVORITE THINGS about your FRIDAY???

Do you wear your running shoes other than just when you run?

-Comfort > wearing fancy high heels............Billy is already stuck with me.

What are you doing tonight?

-PIzza Pie Cafe with the family........I am going to try and beat my salad record and eat two ginormous (weighs as much as my niece) salads.

I have almost completely dumped my heels because I need my feet to run, so they aren't worth it anymore. I actually wear not horrible looking, but definitely not sexy, Merrells to work because my feet feel good in them.

Tonight is definitely a sit around and try to relax night. There is way too much going on for me to want to do anything but relax. And ice my knee.

SUN is my favortie today.. we are gettin a heat wave in london!
At April 8, 2011 at 3:32 PM , Lisa@The Daily RUNdown said...: You are buff!
I'm a heels girl, I'm 5'2" so I need all the height I can get.
I'm doing nothing tonight. I planned to get to sleep early so I could wake up and run 12 miles, but I'm having second thoughts.
At April 8, 2011 at 3:33 PM , Dorry said...: Those shoes look awesome! I want a minimal running shoe to wear at work -I'm on my feet for a long time. My Friday favorites - a short outdoor run, boot camp, apple snack and bike ride with Billy. :) We're taking it easy tonight - I think we might go see a movie - we have free passes!
At April 8, 2011 at 3:40 PM , Britt @ Chicago Runner Girl said...: I've been wanting those shoes for some time now, so your shoe review is much anticipated!
At April 8, 2011 at 3:44 PM , Regina said...: Wow, your triceps are awesome girl!

I love heels- I am a shorty, but only have a short time to wear them. Heels + icy ground= not a good thing. So through the winter I wear boots and running shoes.

We are just chillin' at home tonight, we've been traveling the past 3 weekends for my oldest's basketball tourneys, so I am so glad to not have to go anywhere!
At April 8, 2011 at 3:45 PM , misszippy said...: My son is wearing those shoes..they are groovy! You will love running in them.
At April 8, 2011 at 3:50 PM , Anonymous said...: Ooh girl I have heard wonders of those shoes. Those shorts are awesomesauce for real. Anything in one package is considered a serving..obviously. 4 pb balls packaged as one...one bag of potato chips even if it is 3 gallon size...is of course one serving.
At April 8, 2011 at 3:55 PM , ash & diz said...: I need a ticket to your gun show. Seriously. I think i should start doing weights with you and your sister!
At April 8, 2011 at 3:56 PM , Kristin said...: your arms look so great!!!! :) :)
At April 8, 2011 at 3:59 PM , Katie @ Healthy Heddleston said...: Oh gosh, I don't wear any kind of sneaker if I'm not working out -- my feet like to be freeeee! I'm all about slip on shoes that I can get out of at anytime!
At April 8, 2011 at 3:59 PM , XLMIC said...: The cool playground my kids got to go to today was one of my Friday favorites. The way the toilet flushes at this house where we are vacationing is rocking my world!

I wear my old running shoes to just wander around. If I had multiple pairs of newer ones, they'd be on my feet all the time.

It is already almost midnight here... tonight we went on a boat ride on the Seine with a couple of families we know who are spending this year in Paris. It was fun!
At April 8, 2011 at 4:12 PM , Unknown said...: I'd have to say your FACE is my favorite. Um, too cute. I love it. I want that marshmallow too. Favorite thing today? hmmmm.....maybe that I got the house super clean? I know, boring!
At April 8, 2011 at 4:12 PM , Anonymous said...: Happy Friday!
Ooo I can't wait to read your review of those! I am a major clutz, so I wear high heels maybe once a year. Otherwise, I live in flip flops in the summer and Uggs or moccasins in the winter.
My Friday is fabulous because it was my rest day, and I made double chocolate peanut butter cookies for my friend's birthday. I'm fueling for my long run tomorrow with cookie dough.
At April 8, 2011 at 4:15 PM , Trying To Heal said...: i'm so boring tonight...i'm babysitting my friend's dog so i can't leave town, otherwise i'd visit my boy because it's snowing here....:(
At April 8, 2011 at 4:15 PM , Katie said...: Can I get muscles like that please?!
I wear my running shoes everywhere, but it's a habit I want to break.
Tonight, a 3mile run outside and sushi..yum!
At April 8, 2011 at 4:18 PM , Raina said...: I wear running shoes all the time. You kinda have to when you have 3 boys age 6 and under. =D

Tonight...I might go to bed early. haha. I am just zonked.
Still praying for your recovery!!!

The hubby gets off work at 1 so I get to go run around and relax. Hours at Barnes and Noble reading magazines because I am too cheap to purchase!

Do you wear your running shoes other than just when you run?
Not as of today, so sayeth Kara G. I now have a dedicated pair of running shoes that are fitted to me YAY!

What are you doing tonight?
Hanging with the hubby after the baby goes to bed and reading more of Kara's book and drooling over my new running shoes and NCIS marathon that was recorded yesterday WOOP! Far far too many "ands" in that sentence.
At April 8, 2011 at 4:29 PM , Anonymous said...: I thoroughly enjoy your blog! We're actually quite alike in many ways. For example, I get mistaken as my students often. I love tv shows/movies tailored for teen girls. I love chocolate and ice cream. I LOVE Disney!!! I really could go on and on...

I'm glad you're working through your injury - I know how difficult it can be to be 'sidelined'. But good for you on listening to your body!

P.S. You really make me want to get my spin certification and make class a dance party!
At April 8, 2011 at 4:38 PM , Susan - Nurse on the Run said...: I wear an old pair of running shoes to work, but that's about it! Otherwise it's flip flops or flats!

I'm working tonight. :(
At April 8, 2011 at 4:41 PM , Rene said...: Nice arms.
My Newton's are for running only. Too much $$$ for casual wear, plus the lugs make it not practical.
I do all of my group x classes in my Mizunos.
Outside of working out I'm in flip flops or TOMS.
Doing a paper and studying for a test tonight. I know, I really need to quit partying so much.
At April 8, 2011 at 4:45 PM , RunEatRepeat said...: I don't know why I even bother to buy heels, I never wear them...
At April 8, 2011 at 4:56 PM , Pam said...: Friday means dinner with my husband at our local Mexican hole in the wall. We're regulars :). The waiters already know our order! Happy weekend!
At April 8, 2011 at 5:24 PM , GI Jane said...: I have the New Balance Minimus' too! I did a review here.

At April 8, 2011 at 5:35 PM , Anonymous said...: I always wear running shoes on casual days. If it's too cold to wear flip flops, that's what I'm wearing!!
At April 8, 2011 at 5:38 PM , Nina said...: I'm a Mimimus fan right along with ya Janae! They are the best! Except I run on the crushed limestone along the lakefront path and I find that little pebbles get in there sometimes...a little annoying but man they are PHENOMINAL. I'm working on a review of them as well, but I keep thinking the review doesn't do the shoes justice!

Tonight I'm working until 8:30/9ish then going home to eat some dinner (pizza!) and cleaning. My brother's 30th is tomorrow and we're have a surprise party for him!
At April 8, 2011 at 5:47 PM , Jess said...: Janae, your guns are AWESOME!! Oh my gosh, come teach me NOW!

Tonight I had an awesome date with the hubby and I am about to unplug and go spend more time with him :) We watched The Tourist and it was a great movie!

Happy Friday night :)
At April 8, 2011 at 5:55 PM , Anonymous said...: I wear running shoes every day to work because I am a p.e. teacher. I actually get tired of it though! Sometimes I just want to dress up.

Tonight I am running a few errands, doing laundry, then getting my bake on in the kitchen!
At April 8, 2011 at 6:01 PM , Anonymous said...: ooooh new shoes! Im waiting till the snow melts in dear old canada to take my new babies out for a spin...they are only clean once you know
At April 8, 2011 at 6:18 PM , Unknown said...: I used to wear my running shoes for all my workouts but since I've started half marathon training, I have new running shoes that I only use for running. Gotta take care of those babies. :)
We are staying home tonight and I'm making pizza for the family. I love pizza on Fridays....or any day for that matter.
At April 8, 2011 at 6:24 PM , Tara Upshaw said...: Friday means no school the next day and yogurtland yummyy!!
At April 8, 2011 at 6:26 PM , Corey @ the runners cookie said...: New running stuff + cookies is the perfect Friday, I'd say!! Also, your arms look crazy ripped in that picture! I need to get on some of those exercises you and your sister have been posting :)
My favorite thing about friday was making a delicious dinner and most importantly being done with work till monday!
At April 8, 2011 at 6:32 PM , Anonymous said...: As I sit here and comment, my Friday consists of sitting in my running gear with recovery socks on and sandals. I know, I know- I'm too hot!:-)
Were watching a movie tonight per request of my daughter. Not sure what to watch but hopefully shell be in bed soon after.
I have several pairs of shoes so I try not to wear the newest running. Pair out and about- your shoes however look so comfy!!!!!! I would love me some of those seeing that I've been dealing with some feet issues lately:/
Great job with the arms- beautiful! Welcome to the gun show:-)

At April 8, 2011 at 7:37 PM , Sarah said...: I make protein pb balls all the time and keep them in the freezer. Deftly a staple in my house. So happy for friday cuz I get to do my long runs saturday :) I love my purple nike luner glides for everyday. Eating mexican and watching a movie tonight!
At April 8, 2011 at 7:38 PM , Anonymous said...: loooking BUFFF! Ow ow! ;-)

Looking in my closet you'd think I wear heels everyday. But buying them makes me feel just as good as wearing them... I definitely go for comfort the greater majority of the time.
At April 8, 2011 at 7:52 PM , kay.tee. said...: I keep wondering how tall you are. I almost never wear heels because I'm 5'11." I've become more comfortable with my height as I've gotten older (and skinnier), but never learned to walk in them. My boyfriend is 6'4" so I bust out some wedges every once in awhile.

My very favorite thing in the whole world right now is called Pinterest. I made a board of quotes and things that inspire me to run. Check it out, I think you'll like it!

At April 8, 2011 at 8:02 PM , Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife said...: those shorts are awesomesauce :) have fun eating dinner with the fam. I am loving BodyPUMP (teaching it), and eating b-fast with the husband before he heads to work. Happy Friday!
At April 8, 2011 at 8:12 PM , Unknown said...: My bf just got those NBs and LOVES them.
At April 8, 2011 at 8:37 PM , Stefanie D. said...: Check out those guns girl! Lookin' good!

Friday's in general are just awesome because we are nearing the weekend! I am so glad you finally got your shorts!
At April 8, 2011 at 8:43 PM , Angie said...: You always make me laugh! Love the pics. I may eat my screen to get that marshmallow! Don't know a thing about those shoes, so it will be fun to hear your review!
At April 8, 2011 at 9:27 PM , Taweesa said...: My favorite Friday thing is that I did not have to work.Nice!

I don't wear my running shoes except to run and go to the gym. I did splurge and buy the KEEN Venice sandals today. pure comfort and they look cool with my skirts in a sporty girl kind of way.
At April 8, 2011 at 9:42 PM , Amanda@runninghood said...: A shoe giveaway! Ahhh, I can hope, I can hope. you look buff in that second picture. Those weights are paying off girlie! I wear running shoes almost every single day. Or my slippers. I accidentally wear those out in public all the time. Family movie night tonight. Tempo run earlier. Resting my legs tomorrow. peace out.
At April 8, 2011 at 11:46 PM , Kate (What Kate is Cooking) said...: Haha, a marshmallow the size of an infant's head- that is disturbing and delicious at the same time!
At April 8, 2011 at 11:49 PM , dawn @ running the dawn said...: i've seen those shoes everywhere! can't wait to hear how they compare to your vibrams...are they a good alternative? or supplemental?
At April 9, 2011 at 12:27 AM , V said...: Ooh, I LOVE New Balance shoes- can't wait to hear your review! Also, I am TOTALLY craving marshmallows now :)
At April 9, 2011 at 7:12 AM , Anonymous said...: Dam girl, look at them guns!
At April 9, 2011 at 7:20 AM , Sarah said...: I wear my Minimus Trails for crossfit. I like them a LOT better than my VFFs. I love how wide the toe box is and the way they grip my arches. I especially like that they can be worn with or without socks. I can't wait to read your review!
At April 9, 2011 at 10:08 AM , Running Ricig said...: Those shoes look sweet! I usually don't wear running shoes unless I'm running, though I do wear my retired (too many miles) shoes when I'm walking the dog or hiking.

My favorite thing about Friday is that Mike and I had a date night at Jalapeno Heaven. It was glorious!
