For raising the ornery little punk that jumped at the chance to buy this “polite as fuck” t-shirt — how could I pass it up?
… I made sure Mark would still be seen in public with me, of course. He’s used to it, he’s been hanging out with my “New Mexico shit kickers” (if you ain’t a New Mexico Cowboy, apparently “you ain’t shit”) shirt for years.
One-Mile Pace: 7:50
Long Run: 9 Miles
Weekly Mileage: 16 Miles
Our long runs are getting longer and we’re starting to count down the days until we leave for this race — but since I’m headed to NYC in just a few days, right now I’m busy working on how I’ll keep up with training once I’m there. Here are the top five best tips for running on vacation that I’m going to try to remember on my trip to Alt…
To the coolest dad around. I’ll always be your biggest fan.
Have a happy Father’s Day!
The weekend is so close! And I’m so ready. With the next few days off before Alt, I’m hoping to slow down and spend some time catching up… make a little bit of an effort to relax before everything speeds back up again.
And, of course, I’m looking forward to a fantastic Father’s Day with my guys.
What are you up to this weekend? Any big plans?
Eye Mike D’s house in Brooklyn, which is basically perfect.
Make this brilliant IKEA hack — the perfect gold desk.
Bake these totally ridiculous looking peanut butter cup pancakes (that also just happen to be vegan and gluten free).
The men of Refinery29 take on Prancercise.
This poor spider made me laugh.
An adorable camp-themed wedding.
Okay so — the folks at Bon Appétit officially rock.
I’m already dying over the new VSCO Cam — but I really can’t wait to use VSCO Grid.
Anything rhubarb and cream cheese.
I’ve been talking and tweeting and instagramming (can we find a better verb for this guy? gram-am-am-ing awkward word…) more and more about Alt NYC as the date nears, so it goes without saying that I’m pret-ty excited. But I know what it’s like to be on the other side. In fact for two years now I’ve been living vicariously through the lucky ladies who’ve attended Alt SLC, wishing I was there (let’s not pretend that’s ended of course, I still desperately want to make it to SLC).
Over those two years, though, I’ve learned that there are a lot of awesome ways you can participate in – and benefit from – Alt even without being there. And make some pretty great friends along the way.
Here are the three best ways you can get involved from home…
If you’ve never heard of scapes, I’m sorry for the information I’m about to give you. I’m sorry because after you taste one of these curly, crazy looking little plants, it’s entirely possible that you might form the same attachment that’s about to send Mark and I back to the farmer’s market to rush the poor farmer that sold them to us… lest you (and we) tragically miss all of scape season, which is just a few weeks at most.
This, folks, is what I love most about living in a smaller town. Not the farmer’s market itself — those you can find in the city — but the hometown feel of a tiny farmer’s market that takes place just down the road. The kind of market where you linger… swap a recipe or two, learn about a new local farm… the kind that might even feature a small family bluegrass band.
I’m telling you… my little town keeps me sane.
(And as a result of my lingering, I learned about a whole new vegetable! Have you ever cooked with scapes? We did for the first time this weekend and they’re delicious! I can’t wait to share the recipe tomorrow.)
Have I somehow missed the boat on this? Did we know that at just 13, Ms. Martha signed on with Ford and modeled all the way through college to help pay the bills?
Also — that she was a total fox?
Sadly, it sounds like she had no idea. Here’s Martha in a recent interview with Parade responding to whether she knew she was beautiful…
First of all, are we all aware that today is National Doughnut Day? Because that’s pretty important. If there was ever a day to splurge on a box full of few doughnuts, it’s this one right here (at least that’s what I’m telling myself).
And just in case you’re not sure where to go for your fix (I can hear you scoffing at me now… don’t know where to find a delicious doughnut, ha! As if I’d overlook such important information.) Maryland folks, have you been here? They actually have quite a few locations in the area and the doughnuts are pretty amazing. Although they can’t compare to my faves… but those guys are pretty far away (yet right now, coincidentally, well within the reach of my parents — can you feel me seething with envy?). Then, of course, there’s Voodoo.
Do you have a favorite place for doughnuts? Of course you do. Who has the best?
Hope you all have an amazing weekend! East coasters, try to stay dry.
Eye the beautiful and incredibly talented Rylee Hitchner‘s gorgeous wedding on Once Wed, Part I and Part II.
Buy these colorful Clare Nicolson prints, via Notes to a Further Excuse.
Make these awesome crystal cutoffs.
Bake strawberry and citrus cornmeal ice cream sandwiches. (And also, obviously… doughnuts.)
How to be an introvert in an extroverted world.
Do you read before you tweet? Not always? You’re not alone.
This is old, but hilarious… and highly appropriate for this weekend’s finale. A Game of Thrones drinking game.
How Domino’s succeeds — even though the pizza is terrible.
Cute overload (also this dad is plain awesome).
Is barefoot running best? Not for everyone.
These beautiful pictures of Peru.
This cake just looks so amazing I can barely get a handle on myself.
Just a little roundup of shots we’ve snapped along the way. It’s been a busy few months and I can only imagine how much busier it’s about to get (maybe next time we’ll remember to take some shots of ourselves!)
Follow along over here if you’re not already — we have some big things planned for this summer, and instagram always seems to be the first to know.
