Funny how this is indeed ‘big news’ in Orange County, but it actually is quite hilarious since it was about 85 degrees here on Sunday! Talk about a major turn around, huh. Today’s weather sat in the mid 60s-low 70s, and dipped down a little more once the sun went down. I am SURE all of you east coasters or midwesterners are thinking ‘wah wah wah’, but I can’t help it! This weather is ‘colder’ for me. We whine about 50 degree weather. Either way, this major fluctuation in weather conditions reminded me to keep an eye on what the weather will be like on the big day…
I will also have to keep in mind that I’ll be running around 7AM, so it will be nice and cool (hopefully!).
Random Fact of the Day:
I always wear wacky socks when I actually wears shoes under denim.
These bad boys were a gift from my mom – she went to Alaska last winter and I got these lovely socks. Also, a sweat band which is bound to make an appearance sooner or later. And yes, those are moose on them.
Don’t worry, I remained ‘professional’ and made sure they were hidden.
Today’s workout:
You know that moment, when you awkwardly see a guy you used to date with his new girlfriend…yah, THAT HAPPENED. Luckily, that is only a distant memory at this point and let’s get serious – I WAS RUNNING. Nothing can really get to me when I’m running. It’s magical, REMEMBER?
Nice and easy 4 miles which I found to be quite enjoyable. That is in much thanks to the following:
- The ‘real fall’ weather
- I made an effort to stay hydrated
- Lovely playlist
- Knowing that I was going to have Rocky Road ice cream later
- Knowing I was going to spend some time with my ‘stick’ (get yo minds out of the gutter) – I gotta keep these muscles in tip top shape!

Give me everything by Ne-Yo always pumps me up! It’s just such a feel-good, happy song that I can’t help to feel boosted by it!

My mom lives in SoCal and I swear she emails me every time it rains. It’s like a major event for her.
Is it lame I still stand by Love Me or Hate Me by Lady Sovereign. I swear I can never get enough of that song.

I always suggest “Remember the name” by Fort Minor. It will seriously pump you up!*

You crack me up, girl. I love the socks, and I love your comment, “Nothing can really get to me when I’m running. It’s magical, REMEMBER?”
Hilarious. 🙂

I love crazy socks.. the wackier the better.
Don’t feel bad about whining about coolish weather. We all put on coats when it hits 70 here. Of course we deal with 100+ temps here.
My favorite running song is “You get what you give” by the New Radicals… might date me but whatever.
