happy weekend

TGIF! Twin Cities friends, holy thunderstorm last night! It was so LOUD! Very cool to watch/listen to, but it prevented me from running this morning, which means I have a steamy after-work run to look forward to.

This afternoon my brother received a few awards for his work as a police officer. My dad and a couple of my little brothers went to the ceremony. One of the speakers (who is not a cop) said that his big worry each day is whether he'll have 100 or 200 emails, while these guys have to worry about their lives. I think our safety/security is something that we can take for granted and don't think often enough about the people that work to protect us. So go high-five a service member and tell them you appreciate them!

We made it to Friday, just in time for things to get ridiculously hot! Did you hear that next week is supposed to be the hottest week of the summer? Gross.   Unfortunately, the heat also arrives during The Great Minnesota Get-Together , which I'll be eating my way through tomorrow. (Have you seen this list of new foods?) Don't worry, I'll be sweating out all those calories during my long run on Sunday. source LINKS! 54 smoothie recipes . I think I'll start with #19. The right person myth (and why not to follow your heart). I can't wait to see this movie. YUM! The best chopped salad. 50 rules of vacation. The Michigan will make you faster (just don't puke). A historic Los Angeles apartment. Have a wonderful weekend!

a big problem

ouch This is what's happening every time I run: two extremely painful chafe marks underneath my sports bra. Notice that these marks are actually below where my sports bra lies, meaning my bra (and boobs) must be moving that much when I'm running.  The bra I'm wearing is Moving Comfort's Juno bra and it's been my go-to bra for my last three purchases. Usually this type of chafing signals that it's time for a new one but I just bought this one.  I've tried body glide, tightening the straps, loosening the straps, and finally resorted today to turning it inside out, which is a trick I read on Sarah OUaL's blog. Clearly it didn't help.    I'm at a loss. Girls with girls, what bra do you run in? Has this ever happened to you? ETA: If you're seeing this post twice, it's because I changed the title of it. I was getting a lot of traffic from Russian porn sites (true story) and it seems like this was a popular post. Sorry to d
