It’s Friday! I’m linking up once again with Eat Pray Run DC, You Signed Up for What?! and Mar on the Run for their Friday Five Linkup. This week’s theme is the “4th of July” and so here are five things I’m loving this 4th of July:
1. Love seeing fireworks, but we’ll probably just get some sparklers and not watch a big live show. I have to work the next day. Here’s a cute but old pic when we watched fireworks at Rockaway Beach, OR.
2. The Runner’s World run streak ends on the fourth of July. This will be my longest run streak at 41 days. It was a good streak but I’ll be looking forward to my rest days now that I’m marathon training.
3. The 2nd Earthathon Relay has just started and I’m looking forward to contributing my miles. It’s not too late to join. It’s a fun and free virtual relay with ten teams competing the distance of the circumference of the earth. It’s fun, great motivation, and a great way to meet runners all over the world. All you need is a Twitter account. You can learn more at earthathonrelay.com. We could use your miles on team RunderfulRunners. 🙂
4. It’s been sooo hot lately, I’m loving these Yasso mint chocolate chip frozen greek yogurt bars. So good! I got them at Costco.
5. I’m also loving my new hat which is also a heart rate monitor. It’s called the LifeBeam Smart Hat. I splurged and got it with a coupon code since I don’t like wearing the chest strap heart rate monitors. It works great and pairs with my Garmin!
What are you loving right now? Any plans this July 4th weekend?
Hope you have a great weekend and be sure to check out the other blogs!
Happy Running Mom

Congrats on 41 days of running. Goodluck training for you marathon. I never heard of those bars. Sounds very refreshing in the summer. How cool you can wear a heart rate monitor on your hat.

Sparklers are the best! I have been sad ever since they banned them here 😦
I have never heard of a heart monitor hat! I have never even monitored my heart rate before. I am guessing it’s something I should try. I also love those bars from Costco but I have only tried the caramel I LOVE mint I hope our store gets them! I hope you guys are having a wonderful Fourth of July weekend!!

Oh, that’s too bad they’re banned there. The kiddos enjoy them. I like that hat since I don’t like wearing the chest strap. I’ve only tried the mint ones but want to try all the flavors now lol. Hope you have a happy 4th too!
