On Saturday, I ran six miles with my running group. I was excited for this run for two reasons – #1 it was around one of my favorite running spots and #2 the temperature outside was perfect!
Next Saturday, I’m running a 5 miler that goes along a very similar route, so it was nice to see the route again and get a feel for the course.
The sunrise was beautiful
The temps made for a perfect run! No aches or pains at all, either! Yay!
Remember the KT Tape debacle? Well, I ordered a few rolls of Rock Tape off Amazon and used it for the Diva’s Half. Guess what? Rock Tape didn’t stick on me, either. Whomp whomp. I’ve tried a few different things and I am pretty sure my problem is the humidity. When the humidity is at 100% and it’s and hot outside, nothing wants to stick. I’ve even tried putting zero tension on the tape and just sticking it straight to my leg – which seems to stay in place a little bit longer, but does nothing for me because there’s no tension at all. How do people get this stuff to stick for days? I’m completely baffled.
I haven’t given up, though! I’m still trying here – guess my next step will be the spray that someone suggested (because apparently hair spray isn’t doing the trick). We shall see what happens!
Ok, enough about that…back to the weekend!
After my run, I came home and listened to another new (to me) podcast called The Disney Exchange. These guys discuss anything and everything Disney and are hilarious! I met Lisa at the Catfish Festival 5K last month and have enjoyed listening to her, Dave, and Nick on this podcast! Give them a listen sometime if you have a free moment!
On Saturday, we spent time with Jason’s family – first we saw the Avengers with his sister and brother-in-law. After the movie, we came home for a nap then went to his uncle’s 50th birthday party. Our niece ran around with my phone taking “selfies” for a little while which was oh-so-cute! I even managed to jump in one for a hot second before she was off again!
Yesterday, I went grocery shopping and had the new Ben & Jerry’s Jimmy Fallon ice cream on my list. I’d seen it on social media all weekend and thought it sounded good (ah the power of social media)! Luckily, there was ONE left on the shelf and I managed to snag it!! Jason and I taste tested it last night and we loved it! :)
How was your weekend? I hope you had a great one!! :) Have you tried The Tonight Dough? If so, what were your thoughts? Happy Monday!
The temps on Saturday were so drastically different than last weekend! It was great race weather for my 10K! Girl I hate the rock tape doesn't stick! Make sure there is no lotion on your legs. It sticks to me for a week and I'm dealing with the same humidity you're dealing with. So weird. Hopefully you find something that works.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, we are! There's no lotion, I've alcohol wiped and hair sprayed. Maybe I'm putting too much tension on the tape? I don't put any tension on the ends and about an inch away from the end....then again, I've tried it with hardly any tension at all. So strange. Thanks for the tips, girl! I'm going to keep trying! :)
DeleteI bought the Cherry Garcia this weekend since I can't get Blue Bell right now :(
ReplyDeleteBlue Bell needs to return soon! The ice cream shelves all look so empty! Cherry Garcia does sound like a tasty substitute, though! :)
DeleteI have never had luck with KT tape staying put ( even with the spray). I just started using Rock Tape and have found it to be so much better. Even my PT uses Rock tape because he says it's the best brand. Be sure you are using the kind that is H2O resistant. Perhaps that might help with the humidity. I put mine on on Saturday and just wore it during a hot shower this morning and it still stayed put. I unfortunately had to take it off for an ultrasound this afternoon, but it's great. Can you tell i'm a fan?...lol
ReplyDeleteI bought two rolls of Rock Tape - one regular and one H2O. :0/ I so badly want to find something that works so I can be a fan too! Haha! Thanks for the tips! I'm going to keep trying!!
DeleteThe first I've seen of the ice cream was when I saw your post. It sounds delish!!! I had froyo yesterday. It was such a beautiful day it just seemed like a froyo kind of day.
ReplyDeleteOooh froyo sounds so yummy! This weekend was so pretty!! :)
DeleteI ran 6 miles on Saturday too. It was so warm here! Looks like you had a great weekend and that ice cream looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt was! Thanks, Sarah! Glad you had a good weekend! :)
