What is everyone up to today? Today is a pretty hodgepodge kinda day over here. Last night my beloved spin class was cancelled so I decided to call it a night and curl up with a glass of wine and some DVRed Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Guess who I found?!

| Haley and Emily! |
Also, Sean Lowe appeared on this show because he was Brooke Sorenson's boyfriend in season 2. ALSO, Brooke went on to marry Laynce Nix a Philadelphia Philly for 2.5 seasons. Cacacacrazy!
The title of the post is something that I found inspiration on Julie's blog. The post is based on the Happiness podcast and it deals with 2 kinds of people: moderators and abstainers. Moderators can have one little nibble of a treat and be fine. Abstainers have to have it all or nothing.
I'm definitely an abstainer. I can't have just one piece of chocolate. I want it all. I can't have candy, cookies, or cake in the house because I know that in 24 hours it will be gone. I'm the same way with grapes. I could live on grapes. I've always been this way. I could NEVER be one of those girls who can just *share* dessert. No thanks! I need my own piece. For example, when I prep for races, I cut all refined sugar out of the house. I can't have any of it or I'll eat all of it. For short races, I cut refined sugar out for a week. For longer races, it takes a solid month. I just find this interesting. Everyone has different vices and it's interesting how people engage and tackle their vices.
Yesterday I ended up running around trying to accomplish some top secret errands. I'll post them in a few weeks when the secret is no longer under wraps. But until then, my lips are sealed.
I went (unsuccessfully) shoe shopping for the upcoming weddings. I didn't find any shoes, but I did find Jaclyn's birthday presents!
Last night I was exhausted so I called it a night at 9:30. I did not set an alarm since the only thing on the agenda was Pilates, Barred, lifting, and a run. I woke up at 9 today! 9! I never sleep that late! I kinda enjoyed it ;)
I went on a quick 5 mile run this morning. It was a speedy, schweaty run...just the way I like them :) I usually like running at 5 am, but when the opportunity to sleep in presents itself, THIS GIRL will take it. There's a few differences between running at 5 am and running at 9 am.
- PEOPLE will see you rundance. Rundancing is something that I invented to keep me motivated to run at 5 am. Rundancing is kind of a mix or dancing, running, and sign language. I kinda sign the lyrics while I dance a little bit and obviously run. It's also great for the endurance! It's totally dorky, but it's really really really fun! The cars I pass while rundancing at 5 am, I feel like we have a special bond (who really wants to be up at 5 am?) so they don't care about what I do. The 9 am-ers have all been up and had their coffee and they know that you are crazy.
- It's freaking bright! I don't wear sunglasses when I run because I usually run before the sun comes up. Plus I hate when they slip down your face. I ended up with a squinty face. Mix that with the rundancing and you've got one sexayyy runner...jk.
While I was running today I was thinking, wow, it would be great finances wise to get a babysitting job this weekend. Well, when I came home and got out of the shower I got a text asking if I could babysit this afternoon. I then immediately said wow, it would be great if Chris Evans showed up in my life! Still waiting on that one ;)
Tonight is going to be a great workout, then some Scandal! So excited! This season is really picking up and I can't wait to see where all of the story lines go. Also, it's my last day for wine for a whole month...gotta kick it into high gear for Broad Street!
I hope everyone has a great Thursday!
xoxo,
E
