♥ I watched my first episode of the Rachael Ray Show this week. This led to my purchasing the September issue of her magazine, which touts “1 Month of Make-Ahead Meals.” I’d really like to get a grip on this cooking thing and if Rachael Ray can’t help me, no one can.
♥ My sister PK wants to sign me up for What Not to Wear because of my love affair with quirky graphic tees.
♥ I applied for a front yard makeover by the DIY network because our front yard is the fugliest on the block, barring the vacant house on the corner.
♥ I should’ve known my favorite cozy down-home ice cream shop is run by a former Western New Yorker.
♥ My next triathlon is one month away and I’ve slacked in the running department. I wonder if those freaky Five Fingers running shoes will motivate me?
Eric loved the five fingers but it took him a while to get used to them. Anyway, I hope you find your motivation because I’m trying to lose a couple pounds before gaining lots of them and you and your triathlons are one of my sources of fitness inspiration! So yeah, for completely selfish reasons, but you seriously rock! (And honestly, being able to tell that you ran a tri months after giving birth should be motivating enough!! It’s crazy!!)
Heidi,
1. I just had my maiden run in my new Saucony Hattori shoes, which are super minimal. It was the best run ever but my feet are a little beat up. If you haven’t run in your five fingers yet, I’d recommend easing in and maybe just doing a half a mile or so on your first run.
2. Keep the tees.
3. I brought home a kitten yesterday. He is so sweet and fuzzy and I have so much more respect for people with real kids.
4. Want to picnic before too long?
Try out her 30 minute cook book – i love it.
