Rock On

September 13, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Rock on!!! Yesterday, in the mail, I was pleasantly surprised to get this little beauty:

I got this for completing 2 Rock n Roll events in a year. I will be running Rock n Roll Savannah, so I will get another medal as well after that one, woot! I love me some bling! I can’t wait to hang it up on my new sport hook rack! (If Bobby would ever hang it up. ahem….)

Yesterday, I did a lot of catching up on household things I neglected over the weekend, like dishes. oy. It was nice out, so I opened the window, and Bella enjoyed her perch for the morning.

Mommy, the birds want me to come play tag with them.

I did level 1 of 6 weeks to 6 pack too. I honestly haven’t done this video since May when I completed the full 6 week program. I got SO burnt out on it, I didn’t want to even look at the cover of the DVD box! I also did some foam rolling and stretching, which I neglected this weekend.

Oh, Jillian, don’t look at me like that.

Today it is back to the gym and back to the run for me. I have to head to my parents house later this week for something, so I plan on doing my long run there for a change of scenery. Will be interesting! I feel like I am starting to gain a little bit of speed. My IT band still hurts like the dickens after a long run, but seems to do ok during my runs, so hopefully it will hold up for me. It is usually just sore right after I run and is gone the next day. Weird.

Ok, more laundry awaits. I can promise you I won’t be doing any of this:

In case you didn’t know, I despise ironing. Really. It’s way too much work for something that’s just going to get wrinkled when I sit down. I do it only when absolutely necessary. If I iron for an event you are attending, then you can rest assured I think you are really really special.

Don’t forget to enter my raffle for Team in Training. it is only $5.00 to enter, remember every little bit helps, and you could win a GREAT prize pack! There is also a runner up prize pack, so two chances to win!

QOTD:- Have you run any Rock n Roll races? If so, which ones?

– Do you like to iron? Some people actually love it, which does not compute in my brain.

    I despise ironing also, only in a complete crisis moment.

    I am looking forward to my first piece of race bling from RnR NOLA! Maybe one day I will get some “extra bling” too 🙂
    as for the ironing–i don’t despise it, but I only do it when necessary. we use our dryer to get wrinkles out 😉

      I use wrinkle release spray!

    Awesome medal! I still need to do a Rock n Roll race. Hopefully next year!

    Have you ironed at all since HLS?

      I plead the 5th.

    I’ve done one RnR…last year’s inaugural RnR LA. I thought it was a well-run race, especially after hearing horror stories about other RnR’s.

    Iron? What’s that? I DESPISE ironing. I only iron if absolutely necessary, and even then, what’s the point because I can iron a shirt for 20 minutes and it will still be wrinkled. Yes. I am actually incapable of ironing.

      the ones I have run have been well organized except for providence running late!

    I did the extremely wet Rock n Roll Providence!

    You need to get a steamer – it will change your life!! I got mine about 4 years ago and can count on one hand the times I have used an iron since then. I steam my clothes every morning and it takes less than a minute!

      September 13, 2011 at 7:40 pm

      hhmm interesting! I think my mom may have one. must check it out.

    Ugh – I hate ironing! Although there aren’t many chores that I do like! 🙂

    Congrats on the new bling!! I haven’t done a RnR event – yet. But I’m hoping to one of these days.

    I second the steamer. It has changed my life! No more wrinkles, and it hardly takes up any space. Ready to go in a jiffy! Highly recommend. (even my boyfriend can use it!)

If you’re new here, I figured an introduction was If you’re new here, I figured an introduction was overdue. 👋

I’m Heather. Wife, mom, content creator, trip planner, snack purchaser, basketball chauffeur, and personal assistant to two Goldendoodles who contribute absolutely nothing to the household.

I live in east Tennessee with my husband Bobby, my daughter Emma Kate, and our dogs Dolly and Luna.

Around here you’ll find a little bit of everything:
✈️ Family vacations
❤️ Couples getaways
🌎 The occasional solo adventure
🏀 Sports mom life
🏡 Home and household finds
🍽️ Food, recipes, and restaurants
🛍️ Products I genuinely use and love

Basically, if it’s making our lives easier, more fun, more organized, more luxurious, or creating memories, there’s a good chance I’ll be sharing it.

If you’re here for basketball content, travel ideas, home finds, dog content, or just the chaos of trying to do it all, welcome. You’re my kind of people.

You can also follow Emma Kate’s basketball journey at @theprincessEK and keep an eye out for appearances from Dolly and Luna, who are convinced this account belongs to them anyway. (They have their own IG @ourdoodledolly!) 

Or if you just want mom life basketball content, you can follow me at @heatherfromthebleachers where I post memes and funnies and being a sports parent. 

Now tell me about you. Where are you from, and what kind of content do you want to see more of? 👇

So it’s actually today…HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! 🎉 Ju So it’s actually today…HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! 🎉 
July 13th happens to be a pretty great day if you ask me. 😜

Today I’m 41. I’m not a fan of odd numbers so I’m not sure yet how I feel about this year. 😆

I will say I am always very reflective on my birthday. I’m grateful for every year God has given me, and know how blessed I am to have even made it to 41. Each day is truly a gift, and I don’t always live or act like it. As someone who is “over the hill,” I find myself wanting to soak it all in and slow it all down more and more, but it just keeps getting faster and faster! 🫣

Here’s to another go around, and hopefully to many, many more. 🥂

While it’s true you need sugar to make a good slush and Alani energy drinks are lacking here, with an easy modification (fruit juice!) I got it to work, and boy was it delicious on a hot July day! ☀️ 

It was a fun, summery special occasion drink! What flavor combos should I try next? Hawaiian shaved ice + pineapple juice was so good! It was so easy I want to do it again! 🥤
