S'morey Goodness.

My sister and I went adventuring (errands) and decided to try to find a Dairy Queen so I could eat a S'mores Blizzard (which is the blizzard of the month) because 1) I saw a commercial and it looked delicious 2) Hungry Runner Girl blogged about it and 3) it's--unbelievably--the end of the month!

I decided to get the "Mini" size because it seemed really perfect. Enough to have a good amount of ice cream but not an overwhelming amount. I think that (sometimes, not always) when you indulge it's a good sign if you're left wanting more instead of totally sickened by sugar and the Mini was perfect for that! The s'mores flavor was really strong and amazing, and the graham cracker flavoring was well-incorporated and strong throughout but my only complaint would be that there weren't enough chocolatey marshmallow pieces! Otherwise sooooooooo delicious!

I'm still waiting until getting back into running. I still feel worn out/weak from the half-marathon but I feel like I'll be ready soon. Maybe tomorrow or the next day! I'm excited to get back at it and try some new workouts I've been planning. After all...

Soul Soothing.

Wednesdays call for "Activities that soothe the soul," don't you think? 

Funny, because I do almost all of these things on a daily basis! I think it's so important to have time like this for yourself where you are given ample chance to reflect and identify with yourself. Today I had a 2-hour phone call with one of my best friends, day-dreamed (what I do almost all day everyday) listened to music, read, and now I'm writing! I'm very lucky to have room for all of these things in one day! I'm still not running or cycling because I'm still resting from my half-marathon just a few days ago but I'll be back at it soon :)

I also think I found something to add to the baking list....

Somehow NutterButter s'mores seem to be extremely important and perfectly in season right now! I will add this one to the top of my list and keep updates coming about my baking endeavors...

Miles.

This is what my shoes are saying to me! They want miles! I don't mind taking a few days off of running but I don't like knowing that I have to wait awhile to get back at it! I'm starting to think that my plan of taking rest days until Sunday and then doing a 5k are slowly dissolving as I realize more and more how much that's asking for injury...

I wore my new ruby/burgundy blazer to work and I think it was a hit! I got it at H&M and It's the perfect cropped shape so that it doesn't swallow me up and looks young and tailored. 

Now the real crazy begins at work...I've been given my work cell phone! I have endless streams of voicemails to follow up on. I know that this strange-shaped little guy will soon be my new enemy...

Now I have to hurry to finish my big paper (due at midnight) for the online class that I've been taking...it's about coaching and leadership and is definitely very interesting to me but is also something I tend to put on the back burner in my schedule...I hate procrastination!
