Twas the day before 3M…

I woke up at 5, didn’t know what to do with myself.  DOR on the schedule.  I layed in bed for a hour.  Then I got up ate my oatmeal and cleaned.  At least my house is tidy!

Met mom and dad at the farmers market in Cedar Park.  I hadn’t been in a while, it’s actually grown and is way better.  Mom bought a single praline, dad got some indian curried salsa (never heard of this).  I got some of  the most amazing tangerines and some smoked hummus.  Baby Zachs smoked hummus is to die for.  I tried all of them but bought the traditional.  I will be back next weekend for another one!

Came home and went through the 3M Half Marathon Relay swag bag with mom.  This is the BEST swag ever.  All 3 M products, a few other items, 0 filler and stupid paper trash.  This is my #1 complaint about Rock N Roll races, their bags are almost nothing but crap.

Our loot:

Ignore the fact that my dad doesn’t know how to zoom and that i’m too lazy and tired to crop. 

3M finally did a tech shirt instead of a long sleeved white T.  To be honest, I think the long sleeve T was better, because it wasn’t a weird tech fabric (I prefer tech, but not weird fabrics).  I hate tech shirts that are weird fabric.  It’s pretty though and white, so it’s perfect for my AM pre-dawn runs.

Mom rocking the awesome polarized shades that we got, they are awesome and came with a case.  I love USEFUL goodies!

Here’s most of my bag.  Chamois, a really nice and heavy post-it note dispenser for notes and flags, Honey Milk (gave to Dan, I can’t drink it),  several rolls of tape, some glue, free Subway coupons, sunglasses, some Emergen-C, and some other stuff I can’t remember. 

Missing?  Band-aids and post-its.  I have enough post-its from my other 2 years to last me for life.  However, I really wanted the freaking band-aids.  Everyone was saying they were sad and hate buying them.  I pretty much cut myself everytime I shave my legs, so I need band-aids, lol!

We chilled, I made dinner for Dad and sent him to sisters for the night (they were going to the race together).  Mom and I dined on my favorite pre-race grub:  brinner.  Specifically, pancakes.

Mom had cranberry-orange.  She’s pretty excited about those. 

Mine kind of looks like poo.  It’s really banana-chocolate chip. 

We watched some tv, both took epsom baths, and called it an early night!

  1. Awesome swag bag! I love my long-sleeved tees not to workout in, just to lounge in. So comfy. I can’t wait for our Farmers’ markets to open back up.

  2. I love their goodies, it’s always great stuff. the stuff I don’t need, I give to my BFF who is a teacher.

    Our Farmer’s Market is year round (the closest one to me), but it’s SO expensive (they all are around here, because it’s the trendy thing). I usually just go to the Sprouts Market grocery store which has great produce that is cheaper.

  3. Your mom looks fantastic!!
