I’m officially outdoorsy…and unfashionable (at REI)
Also I LOATHE the color purple, but these boots felt the best and happened to be the cheapest ta-boot. I figured I’d own the purple by getting matching hiking socks.
Registered today! This has been a bucket list race and I’ve never been on the ball to know when registration opened. Well FYI it opened today and I happened to look up when it opened last week!
October 9th if anyone is interested!

Yesterday I did some MUCH needed outlet shopping.
I have been SO bored of my clothes lately, but haven’t made time to shop. Seriously this whole winter I think I only bought 2 shirts, a puffy coat, and 2 pairs of work pants. Both shirts quickly got holes in them just from washing them (stupid Kohls, if they weren’t like on clearance I would have returned them).
So I went to the Tanger outlets like 10 minutes from T’s house yesterday and told myself to shop and to buy things that aren’t like what I already have in my closet.
So here’s my loot from H&M, NY&Co, and Papaya (think Mandee for my NY people or a better Charlotte Russe).
- Got 2 dresses (that have similar patterns, but one is way casual and one is more formal – plus one is b&w and one is navy & tan)
- Only got one horizontal stripped shirt (which I had A LOT OF at one point), this one has thinner tightly placed stripes on the top and then then stripes get slightly bigger and more spread apart.
- Went crazy on patterns at H&M, but they had SO MANY GREAT THINGS.
The good/annoying part of the day is almost every shirt I tried on, I had to go back and get a smaller size. Literally every L at NY&Co was comically huge and it def should not based on my body. I get vanity sizing, but it also is hella annoying when I need to go back through the store to get everything I just tried on in a smaller size. Then there is H&M where I bought 12/medium shirts, a large dress. This is why I rarely buy clothes online, there is no telling what size fits.
PS – All my purchases came to under $125 total 🙂
OMG I have been obsessed with this beer since I went to San Diego in Feb 2014 and have looked for it regularly. Finally found it at Wegmans today!!!! (at Wegmans)
Weather finally cooperated enough for me to get my first bike ride of the year in! (at W&OD Trail Columbia Pike Entrance)
My friend KW posted this on IG. It was above a scale in the Rec Center gym of the college I used to work at. She said at the bottom of the sign it included facts about daily weight fluctuation. #positivebodyimage
Awww last week was my 6 year tumblr-versary!
In January 2010 I has started MeasuringLife “1.0″ on blogspot, but after a few months I caught wind of tumblr and the fitblr community (pour one out for the hey day of fitblr) and moved over to tumblr and backfilled with my blogger posts.
Thank you for being here through my ups and down. My too many posts in a week to no posts in a week times. This outlet is a huge part of my journey.
Only took 4 years for me to snap a pic of one of my favorite landmarks in Alexandria (at Mount Vernon Trail)
Tri training starts this month!
I’m looking at a super sprint in July (VA) and a sprint in September (MD). Both pool swims. There are Duathlon and Aquabike options at the the July one… once I lock in I will let you all know.
Still debating traveling for a Olympic distance tri in August/September – but I need to get back into the swing of swimming before I pull the trigger on open water.
