Fact: Aaron is the ping-pong champ of our company.
Most of his lunch breaks look like this. It’s totally exercise, the way he plays.
He plays for keeps.

I’m wearing this dress today (with a sweater) because it’s finally kinda SUNNY! I was starting to think summer was too mainstream for Seattle.
H&M, $12.95. Word.

My friend Steve Kamb at Nerd Fitness wrote a big, long post about his friend Staci’s fitness success story. I say “fitness” success story instead of “weight loss” success story because she initially lost a ton of weight through cardio/starving herself and was super weak at 117 lbs., then packed on healthy muscle through weight-training/Paleo eating and now looks AMAZING at 142 lbs.
It just goes to show you that weight is just a number, and a higher number can be better if it’s the right kind of weight!
Check out Staci’s great story at Nerd Fitness to learn more and get majorly inspired!

Oh yes I did.
My rear windshield is that shiny and reflective because Aaron washed and detailed my car as a surprise a few weekends ago.
The man DETAILED my MINIVAN. That’s love.

Fun fact: I had none of these this time last year.
Funny how things change!

The Seattle meetup is sneaking up on me! I’ll be there. Pretty sure Aaron will be there. Who else is coming?
First trip to Los Angeles and rolling traffic at it.
So excited to do the West Coast tour.
Come party and run and eat and make fun of Pa with me.

GPOYW: “If You Buy The Dress, The Occasion Will Arise” edition.
This spangled creation can be yours for like $250 from Banana Republic! I tried it on just for fun/sheer ridiculosity.
Someone should totally rock this in Vegas. (Not it.)

Word. Aaron and I will be there, running our first damn marathon.
wbaw:
Figured everyone needs a reminder!
also, I’m trying to compile a list of all the people that are going! last I checked there were 20+ fitblrs that were going to be there, from all over the world! (literally)
Are you attending?
You guys, something is wrong with Aaron.
After completing the 204-mile Seattle to Portland bike ride two weekends ago and Warrior Dash this past weekend, he has this strange feeling he just can’t shake.

It’s an uneasy feeling… a restlessness… he can’t sit still.
It turns out that he has a fever, and the only cure is SWIM-BIKE-RUN.
Symptoms include tracking tri bikes on Ebay, watching Ironman videos on YouTube and signing up for races less than a week before raceday.
Worst of all, I hear it’s contagious.
Hopefully he’ll be cured this Sunday. It’s tough to say.
You never know until you TRI!
I’m posting this video again for anyone who may have missed it yesterday – My First Half Marathon: Rock ‘n’ Roll Seattle
And also because I just got this really awesome message:
switchinggears asked you:
I totally cried when I watched your recap video. You’ve inspired me to become a runner ever since I started following you. Keep up the phenomonal work!
Thank you!!! I like making people totally cry! In a good way, of course.
