–The humidity for all of my runs this week seriously has been through the roof. It truly never gets easier dealing with sky high humidity. I am just a bucket of sweat every time and my pace kind of takes a hit too. All good though, still getting my miles in.
–As runners I feel like we have to have something to complain about, amiright?! If it is not one thing, it is another.
–I will admit, I did sleep in until about 6 or 7 AM before a couple of my runs this week (which was glorious) but I just do not feel as productive if I don’t run at 5AM-ish?? When I run earlier, my entire day is BETTER. More coffee fueled ya know…but BETTER. More productive. I also think more clearly and just feel like I’m the ish, in general. hahaha.
–Yeah, I am one of those…annoying morning people, what can I say.

43. Ever walked into a wall? I hit the wall during my marathon, and I cried.
LOL look at you admitting to not reading my entire blog post. You straight savage, you!!
Speed read, read the first, last, and something in the middle 🙂
I feel like you’re using “at times” pretty loosely for that sarcasm. 🙂
Well you know the snark keeps things interesting 🙂
That it does, my friend.
The humidity! A runners worst enemy… or one of them at least. I read somewhere that you can just go ahead and add 30-90 seconds on every mile when the humidity hits. This happened in my last race and it was SUPER frustrating! Not to mention what it does to my hair, frizz city, lol!
Yay for your #8, girl! Gotta love a freebie!🙌🏻 ☕️
Right?! That freebie was so lovely and made my entire day. Funny how something so small means so much!
these quizzes are always kind of fun. Okay, some answers from me:
15. Do you like your hair? Yes, especially when I take the time to wash and style it 🙂 Which doesn’t happen as often as I’d like, because I’m a runner 😉
16. Do you like yourself? I like your answer, Chelsea. Super healthy 🙂 I like myself most of the time.
17. Would you go out to eat with George W. Bush? Agree with you- why not? I may not agree with him- but he was president and it will definitely be interesting

19. Were your parents strict? Dad was strict, mom intense, and being in trouble was the worst.
25. How many countries have you visited? I don’t feel like counting. Almost all of western Europe.
