Started the day off right by setting off the smoke alarm!
I managed to roll myself out of bed to make Kevin’s favorite French toast before he went to work. With pumpkin cream cheese topping! Unfortunately, it was too early to take a picture of that.
But! The good news is I had waffles for lunch with some of the leftover pumpkin puree.

Earlier…
The waffle earner. 
I ran 3 miles with Pippa, and then remembered a conversation I had with Kevin the other day about how I loved living at the top of a hill… great training for finishing off a race!
The total hill is about .27 miles!!! I did 3 repeats of the whole thing, and 2 of about .15 miles.
My totals:
I’m feeling that one already!!!
My Garmin is lost… I had it… very recently. I’m sure it’s under my bed or in a laundry basket somewhere. Maybe it will stay lost until I buy the shiny new pink one!
I tried to do some strength training when I got home. I made it through 2 rounds of the GPP Step Downs workout on my back stairs. It was a fun one… I’ll have to try it again when my legs aren’t shot so I can give it 100%!
I taught a few students. Made some dinner. And then I saw this on Menchie’s Facebook page…
THERE!
Mudslide + Cake Batter!
We hung out for a while and played the Biography Who Am I game. Can you guess this one? My students better be able to!!!!
Just a normal night, hanging out with the dogs. Protecting my head from doggy kisses.
Could I BE any nerdier?! What my eyes are doing is not normal!!
Answer the Who Am I Question? The first one Kevin gave me was Yasser Arafat! I got it. The game was a little tricky because it was so dated.
Which would you choose: iPhone 5, Kindle, or pink Garmin? Tough hypothetical decision!
kindle! these pics are cute. i love running with my dog!
Definitely iPhone! What a fun game!
I’m on such a waffle kick lately!!! I already can’t wait for breakfast tomorrow because pumpkin waffles are on the menu
Soooo I just got the iPhone 5 and am IN LOVE. I have the Kindle too and since real books > electronic books, I don’t love it as much as I should. A pink Garmin is tempting though…
Hmmm, if you’re ever in DC, feel free to come make me french toast
Kevin is one lucky husband!
I would go with the pink garmin because I kinda love all things pink.
Love the new blog look! Does Boyd get jealous you take just Pippa out?
Speedy! Yep – Beethoven.
Go for the iPhone!
Wow, you run fast! I would pick a pink garmin. Always
ophone 5! i cant wait to get mine. im ready for an upgrade from my iphone 4
oh man I miss dog kisses. i really want froyo now, still going on a way too long streak of not having any.
Beethoven!! When I took piano lessons growing up, his “Ode to Joy” was my FAVORITE! I played it all the time. Pretty sure I played it at every recital too, haha!
ya..no idea…but I see Lisa picked Beethoven..oh, I should have done that too..
nice eyes…ha!
Garmin totally!!
Beethoven! Clues #4 and 5 gave it away for me, although I didn’t realize Ode to Joy came AFTER he was deaf. Incredible!
Also, does that say 4:46 mile?! OH MY GOSH!
no no no.. that was just my finishing pace when I was sprinting it in!
Ah! Still impressive!!
Wow great run- you destroyed it
!! The Apple lover in me would choose the iPhone 5 for sure..if only my budget would cooperate 
!
What a run!!! Holy goodness girl! What a run!!! My legs could shake just thinking of that hill about 5 times-ouch! …nice work!
Can I choose an iPad? I want an iPad—–> key word: want!
I would pick the I phone 5 or any Iphone for that matter! I still have a blackberry and feel so out of the loop! Just waiting for my upgrade! I wouldn’t mind a garmin either though
oh, the garmin 10 has gotten good reviews so far! also, hill workouts are #1! go you!
I admit to double checking my answer before commenting: Beethoven. I was right.
I would pick the iPhone 5. I’m hungry. Lol
Love your blog design. Poor Boyd is no where mentioned. Guess Kevin needs to start a boys’ blog! Lol
