Friday Love List and #backthatazzup
I want to start off by apologizing for my spotty posting the last two weeks. The week of August 5th I was at jury duty the whole week (I actually did end up getting chosen for a trial) and all the jurors were instructed not to post anything on social media or the internet about being on a trial. I also didn't realize how tired I would be by the time I got home every night; I actually skipped my training runs all week (great idea, Laura!) so now I'm running a half marathon tomorrow without having done my long run. Smart girl, right here.
I'm heading to Madison today to pick up my bib and shirt for the half marathon I'm running tomorrow morning. I think that we've really lucked out weather-wise; the morning is only supposed to be in the high 50s and a high temp of low 70s. When I signed up for this run, I was worried about it being too hot and overheating. Very excited that it's supposed to be a cooler day.
Not to get too rambly, here's just a few things I loved this week.
Early morning work essentials: Starbucks coffee (a venti, naturally), Clif Bar in Peanut Toffee Buzz, First Aid Beauty moisturizing cream, and my
Emily Ley Simplified Datebook.
Lakefront Brewery is celebrating its 25th birthday! This is one of my favorite microbreweries here in Milwaukee; if you are ever visiting, doing a brewery tour there is a MUST.
My textbooks for this semester showed up in the mail yesterday; I'm not ready to go back to school!
Sporting my Color Club + Birchbox nail polish in London Calling from their
Wanderlust Collection (this came in my Birchbox last month).
I picked up Bethenny Frankel's new book SkinnyGirl Solutions and am super excited to start reading it! I better get a move on so I can finish it before the semester starts.
I'm also linking up with Whitney from I Wore Yoga Pants To Work for #backthatazzup Friday!
This is my new power song on my Half Marathon Playlist!
