More cookies!

It’s the tail end of NICU Nurses week and I want to give some shout outs.

For those that don’t know, NICU stands for Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The most critical patients on the planet.

First - to all my NICU nurses, you all are absolutely incredible humans. I could never do one tenth of the job you do. Thank you for all the crematocrits I made you do to maximize growth. Also, thanks for keeping babies alive AND swaddled so they stay peaceful and Q word 🤣 (you don’t say quiet in the NICU)

Second - to my fabulous friend Andrea for making these amazing cookies! The nurses absolutely LOVED them and all the thought and care you took to decorating them. You are THE BEST.

If you’re local to Pensacola, she’s your cookie girl!! When she’s not being a pediatrician, running, or painting. OR being an awesome wife and mother!
______

Some of you that have been here for a minute know I used to be a NICU RD.

First in New Orleans and then here in Pensacola.

I’ve since moved on to other ventures, but the NICU will always hold a special place in my heart.

One of our NICU grads just turned TEN 😳

When I first met her, she weighed 385gm - think 2 iPhone 17 Pro Maxes stacked together.

Watching these kiddos thrive made all of the stress and heartache of a NICU worth it.
_____

So if you live in an area with a NICU in the hospital, go drop off some snacks or send in a pizza or even just send in a card.

I guarantee someone you know has had their life changed by the care of a NICU nurse.

Little Debbie week at Crumbl 😒

My gut said to buy 2 oatmeal cream pies and 2 zebra cakes…

And I SHOULD have followed my gut.

But no, I was influenced by someone on the internet that the strawberry was good and the unicorn cake was delicious.

LIES.
______

First off, appearance.

wtf are those cookies?!

Who decorated these cookies and said “yep, those are customer ready”

Strawberry - undercooked. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good undercooked cookie. But this was basic sugar cookie with some strawberry puree and generic whipped cream.

Just make your own strawberry shortcake at home.

Unicorn Cake.
What the actual what. What child decorated this?! This cookie is coated in cake pop covering and it was THICK, but also uneven. Then there was some sort of purple mousse? So when you bit into it, the coating broke and squished purple everywhere.

The cookie was supposed to be a strawberry cake cookie but honestly I couldn’t taste anything but the white chocolate coating.

ZEBRA CAKE. This cookie was just as good if not better than a zebra cake. I loved this cookie so much. Delicious cake cookie. Decoration…debatable.

OATMEAL CREAM PIE. Better than an actual oatmeal cream pie from Debbie herself. The winner for sure.
_____

So let me know if you tried these!

I’ll be over here running off these calories and sugar because it was definitely an overload last week.

Is my dog living her best life?

Yes.

Am I jealous?

Also, yes.
______

Addie Mae isn’t really fond of her doggles.

But she was told we would keep the window down on the entire car ride (through the city, not the interstate) if she wore her doggles.

She obliged, but begrudgingly.

Only a few times did he try to paw them off 🙄

Otherwise, she loved it!
_____

Oh to be a dog and get excited about hangin your head out a car window without having to worry about random objects taking out your eyes.

Now THIS is a very salad worth writing home about.

Creamy goat cheese, candied walnuts, so many beets!

Well worth the money - literally the same price as the crappy one I posted about a couple posts back.

Don’t settle for bad beets, people!

Yesterday was a bridge run followed by squats.

Lordt.

Bridge felt amazing!

Ran 97% of it - including both hills - got in 60g of carbs, felt like k could run another 6.

Afterwards, back at the house I needed to hit my squat workout.

I’ve been working on increasing my 1RM in overhead press, deadlifts, bench press, and squats now that I’m past my 100 miler.

It’s been fun being back with the barbell again.

For all my runners out there who just love running, it’s not so bad to be in the gym too.

You might just find you’re running improving as your strength improves!

Can summer be over now?!

I’m missing eating uncrustables in a puffy on top of a snow covered mountain.

Even though this was only back in May.

It’s too dang hot, I’m too dang tired of sweating every time I go outside.

I repotted 3 plants on Monday - barely an hour of work - and needed to take a shower when I was done.

I’m tired of this grandpa!

If someone could send Florida’s first false fall this direction, that would be great.

Not me over here counting down the days until I go to Park City to run in cooler temps!

Starting over.

I sent this picture to a friend who had mentioned her success with pull ups a couple of days/weeks ago.

I haven’t done a pull up in…a long time.

Back in 2018/2019 I was kipping pull ups enough to compete in CrossFit competitions.

Now I need 3 bungees that hold 75lbs a piece.

At 166lbs you’d think I only need 2.

But I digress, these little arms haven’t been asked to pull me in a long long time.
_____

You have to start somewhere.

So when my accessory work called for pull-ups, I dusted off this kit and said assisted is still a pull-up.

I could have skipped them and found a different movement.

As I start setting my sights on climbing more mountains, I probably need to be all around stronger in case I take a tumble and need to haul myself up.

And we all know I have a habit of tumbling.
_____

As we go through life, we should think less about aesthetics and more about functionality.

As we age, we want to keep muscle mass to support metabolism.

We need to keep our bodies moving.

And for the love of all that’s holy, pick up things heavier than your purse.

Running a 100 miles ✅

Proper fueling ✅

Looking good while doing both ✅✅
_____

The event I still don’t want to talk about yet sent out the official photos.

Well, I actually wasn’t sent the link, I had to get someone to send it to me when I started seeing official photos pop up online.

And she had to do the same thing 😒
_____

I digress.

I think this was heading out for mile 11 (mile 85 overall) Saturday morning. I had been up and running since 0440 that morning and a crustless PB&J was breakfast of champions.

I might or might not have washed it down with a Mountain Dew.

I travel light on loop courses. 5 miles at a time doesn’t require much.

A handheld and some Carb Dope is all a girl needs until she returns to base.
_____

If you need help fueling your next endurance event, I happen to know a girl who is currently accepting clients!

I can’t believe I forgot to write about this!

I ordered a beet and feta salad.

If you saw that and ordered it, you probably have an idea of what you’ll be receiving.

It also contained red cabbage and fancy almonds. Sounds great.

Yall…I got a quarter of a head of shredded red cabbage!!

Oh and then some beets and cheese. SOME.

wtf is this?!

And I will tell you, I did poke around and eat some of this salad before taking a photo.

But damn y’all.

$18 for a beet and feta salad that’s mostly a $2 red cabbage with ZERO protein added.

I can’t with some of these places.

AND they want you to tip!

Here’s a tip - rename this the red cabbage salad with beets and feta.

Also, I had really high hopes for this place but really wasn’t impressed. I’m not naming it but IYKYK.

PS - my flatbread WAS good…but it was either $1 more or less than this salad. Can’t remember. Brian’s food was meh. 3 deviled egg halves were $6 🙄 mocktails weren’t anything to write home about.
