Too........Tuesday and great runs




I don't know what has happened and I am surely not complaining because I have been having some great runs lately. Maybe I finally got over the excuses I was making and just sucked it up and pushed myself a little more out of my comfort zone.  I really like my comfort zone, LOL

A few weeks ago I did a too Tuesday and I really enjoyed it so I decided to do it again. 

Too funny ~ 
                                           
A little humor.

Too cute ~  
I've always said if I found a fawn while running or hiking I am taking it home.

Too much ~
Wow, if this does not say use sunscreen there is no hope for you. 

Too yummy ~
It is no secret I love seafood.  Shrimp, crab, scallops, and lobster, with butter of course.

Too expensive~

$295.00 burger at Serendipity  Le Burger  Extravagant

I hope everybody has a great Tuesday!!!!

Do you use sunscreen on a regular basis?
What do you eat too much of? 
Have you done anything pumpkin yet?

Throwback Thursday, and my first loaf of real bread!!!!

Ok I'm going way back, like 20 years back. I was getting promoted to Sergeant in the picture, I was so proud that day. I loved it when people called me Sergeant Davis.
                                     
I LOVE getting mail today the new edition of Runner's World came!!!!
I read this thing from front to back, so much awesome information that I actually adhere to. Not to mention I only paid $4.99 for a two year subscription.  Leave a comment and I will tell you how you can too.
Today is day 3 of my baking challenge, I decided to try to make bread, which isn't easy.  The recipe I chose was Cinnamon Swirl Bread using a rapid rise yeast.  I've never had much luck using yeast or making any sort of bread. It always flops.  I know if I just pay attention and do everything that is outlined it will be successful. 
The ingredients white all purpose flour, melted unsalted butter, warm milk, raped rise yeast, cinnamon (duh), two egg yolks, salt, white and brown sugar. I've never used my dough hook attachment, it worked wonders.
I'm a little behind the bread is in the oven right now, it smells so good.

What is your favorite type of bread?  I love Italian bread with dipping oil
What is your favorite thing to get in the mail? I love packages!!!
Do you ever get so behind that it just seems so overwhelming?

Peach cobbler, and a running wobbler

I headed out the door this morning ready to conquer my 11 mile run. First step in I felt a pain in my lower right leg like someone took a hammer to it.  It kept feeling sore, until I couldn't take it, I only made it one mile and wobbled home.  It's a stress fracture, I already know, but I am so stubborn that I refuse to wrap my mind around it.  How am I supposed to train now???  Headed to the doctor tomorrow. This is my present mood:

 Has anyone else heard of schools having orientation almost a month into the school year?  My son had his accelerated math class after school (where he gets mad math skills from I do not know) when a  teacher walks up to my car and says "don't forget about orientation Thursday." I am sure I had my what the f#*k look on my face, with drool running down the side of my mouth in confusion going on.  Seriously, let's break down the word orientation, orient to become familiar with, he has been in school for a freaking month.  
Day 2 baking challenge Fresh Fruit Crumble. I chose this because even though it is nearing the end of peach season, the store had some really fresh, beautiful peaches.
This was again a very simple recipe. The peaches were baked separately with cornstarch, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. The crumble was baked on a separate sheet so it could be broken and used as needed. The crumble used unsalted butter, brown and white sugar, white all purpose flour, salt and vanilla.  The finished product is beautiful and smells so good.
It is so exciting to create something new everyday, I am really enjoying myself and so is Zachary!!! 

Have your kids started school? Was their orientation before school started or after?
Do you do something everyday that challenges you? What?
Are you excited that apple season has started?
