–I have a slight obsession at the moment with sparkling water. Passionfruit and cucumber melon have to top the list of the 2 faves. Not sure why but drinking bubbles in the summer time just makes me happy.
–I subbed an early morning spin class this week and it made me feel pretty nostalgic. When I first started teaching I taught on Mondays early in the mornings and did so for about 3 years. Now I just teach 3 nights a week and really love my cycle party happy hours. But the morning folks are so sweet it made me miss it a little bit. For now I think I’ll just stick to my morning runs and just teach at the gym at night.
–I am really thankful that I’ve fallen in love with trail running. After being a devout road runner for so many years (which I still love) it is fun to get off the beaten path sometimes. Especially when you are putting in so much mileage training for ultras. Sometimes you just need a change of pace.
–Our family dog Brady is absolutely the cutest is he not? He just got a haircut for the summer. I love his little random white paw with the black paw. Such a cutie pie.
–I’m sorry in advance for those of you that sell Lipsense but that ish is seriously overrated. I mean why am I paying so much for lipgloss, because it stays on!? Sometimes I don’t want my gloss to stay on that long. Also, I feel like I have alcohol on my lips it stains them so much. No thank you. And I have a tube I never used so I gave it away. You can keep it.
–Lately I have been loving the sunsets almost more than the sunrises. Not sure why that is. I will always and forever be a morning runner but there is just something about the sunset and evening runs (of course on double run days) that I am feeling lately.
–Hammocks on balconies are kind of a thing now in my ‘hood. I swear everyone has one and now I want one. How fun would it be to kick it outside on your balcony in a hammock and read a book? I need to make this happen.
–I have Friday completely off this week and it is definitely much needed. I plan on getting in as much pool time as possible on my long weekend.
What are some confessions, random rants, or things you’re loving today?

Agree that trail running is the real deal. We have some beautiful trails here in Cape Town, however safety is a real concern. Till soon.
Absolutely! Safety in numbers is key! Thankful for a kick ass trail run group of friends down here 🙂
I took used to be solely a road runner and I have found something so amazing about the connection you find to nature on trails. I would also love to have a hammock!! Great post!
Could not have said it better!!!
I do not love waiting for my boss when I need to get financial statements done!
But I do love watching the sunrise in the mornings on my run. It’s so peaceful and serene and oddly enough, relaxing.
Yep!! Sunrises and sunsets are my jam!!
I like sparkling/seltzer water too. It reminds me of my favorite beverage – gin and soda. 😉
haha! For sure! So good post run!
So true about Lipsense! I’ll continue to use my Burt’s tinted lip balm, thank you.
Great post! xoxo
LOL!! Yes…we are on the same wavelength, sister!!
Yes to the hammock, where do I sign up. I feel the need for one of those in my life right now. Preferably on a beach, but a balcony would do. 🙂
Yep yep!!
