I'm baaaaack!

Hello lovelies.  Remember me?  I took a more than brief hiatus because I was not being inspiring.  The goal of this blog is to keep myself accountable, and inspires others.  Neither of those things was happening, so I decided to take a step back, and re-gather.  Now that my shit is a little bit back together, I am ready to continue sharing intimate details of my life with the blogging world ;)

While I was away, I actually ran a 5 mile race and a half marathon.  Besides those two runs, my fitness side has been basically non-existent.  I’ll write more about that this weekend…

To welcome myself back into the blogging world, I am linking up with the 5 on Friday ladies.  I will leave my “disappearance excuse” and “half marathon recap” posts for this weekend when I have more time.

My pal, Angela, decided months ago to go all beast-mode and sign up for Ironman.  Bitch is cray, but also AH-MAY-ZING!!  The Wisconsin Ironman event is this Sunday, and I cannot wait to see this chica in action and cheer her on.  No matter how she does, she is still my hero!  Just committing yourself to the training it takes to compete in Ironman is awesome. 

After Ang competed in a half Ironman last month.

Leinenkugel’s Orange Shandy.  That’s right, Orange.  Not Summer Shandy.  Not Lemon Berry Shandy.  But, Orange Shandy.  It is delicious!  If you are at all a fan of the Summer or Lemon Berry, get ready to have your world rocked by Orange.

Having dinner with one of my besties this weekend, in her new house!

Researching new running kicks.  The pictures below are the ones I am currently crushing on, but on appearance only.  I have not yet tried any of them on.  This time around, I am actually going to go to a running store to get fitted.  My right knee is often achy when I am putting in a lot of miles, so I am hoping a professional can suggest shoes that will help with that issue.  I am also hoping one of these babies makes the list of approved shoes! 

Happy Friday, everyone!
