Scribbles About Events: The Rook Run 5k

Soooo if you've ever been to the Jersey Shore... and you drink coffee... or beer, you probably know what Rook is. They're a nice local coffee shop, there are stores all over. They have good coffee, iced coffee.. Its a little strong for me. I'm quite a sweet tooth, but I still enjoy the New Orleans blend, The Pumpkin Blend and the Gingerbread and it is pretty delicious! So this was my first time competing in the event... I signed up as a runner... but everyone else I knew was walking, so I ended up walking also. Okay that isn't true. I really didn't train to run at all... and my sister is pregnant, so she thought it would be better to walk... and then we all sort of ended up walking instead of running... so we were towards the end of the list on the competing side... which is fun. Next year we won't be! Lol. Anyway yeah this is my first time competing, its actually a nice, easy trail... its really hard to walk it, I was quite tired afterwards. When we got to ...

APPyness: Couch 2 5K Review

So I hate running... really hate it! However, a lot of people I know were signing up for a local 5K. I was going to sign up just to walk instead of running, because that is also an option... but my dad signed up for the run, so I felt kind of wimpy only signing up for the walk. I mentioned how nervous I was about this 5k to a friend on instagram and she told me to download this app to help me get ready... so that is what I did! I like the app a lot! Its easy because it alternates between running and walking and it gradually changes so that you do more and more running and eventually you just run without stopping! Right now I'm on Week 3 and I just finished Day 1... and that was really really hard! It gets easier though and by the time you're on Day 3 you'll be ready for the next step. I should explain the week/ day part better. Every week takes 3 days and then you get sort of "leveled up" and the next week you do a little more running. As long as you are consi...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.10.16

Favorites  Couch to 5k-   I've mentioned this before, but I started doing this app for running and it alternates the time that you run and walk and it gets harder the more you do it. It's pretty cool! I like it!  In The Balm of Your Hand Palette- I'll be talking about this a lot more on my other blog, but I've really been loving this palette and I would think it's just been my favorite thing to use this week, not just favorite beauty related thing.  Lady Dynamite-  I've only seen an episode of this so far...but it's really funny and deserves a mention. It's not for everyone, but I know everyone will be talking about it in 10 years.  Snippets  I don't think I did too much this week either. Started working out again and I worked out to the Hamilton soundtrack, which was cool. That worked nicely lol. I went to target and they had nothing... My target has been kinda bad lately aside from the dollar spot. It's so messy...and now the ...
