Kitty Heaven

Courtesy of Brenner Brewing Co, paper in a box. The ultimate cat toy. He was so mad at me when I threw it out.

Seems Legit

WINDOW KITTENS!

Aww. You know that house where the Jesus mobile always parks? And where the old lady and old man are always having screaming matches by the garbage cans? Well, they have WINDOW KITTENS! Possibly related, I'm convinced its a hoarding house.

Try and ignore my head in the reflection ruining the cuteness.

Seen on my Run

Total mileage this week, 21 miles. Right on par with my goal at this point in half marathon training which is that I have to run three weeks of 20 or more miles, then I get a rest one with 15. I also swam for 1000 yards with Brooke on Tuesday up at the Noyes community pool. It rocked. Go cross training! Can't wait to swim again.

Construction on my run. Not sure what kind of crane it is. My dad asked if it had big wheels or small wheels, and then rough wheels or smooth wheels. I just took a picture to send to him.

Random torn up concrete around the burns common area. Someone forgot their hammer. Also caught one of my running shoes.

On Wednesday I did some speed work that ended up finishing kind of late (six miles!). Running up the hill at the end of my run I came across this sight and found it picture worthy.

Then on Friday I did the Milwaukee version of the color run. It got much worse after this when Pete, Craig and I ended up in a colored corn starch packet fight! So much fun. I'd rock the color run with them again in a second, despite the eventual shot to the eye I took.

My hair once I got home. Totally had dinner at Trocadero on the patio afterward. Adult grilled cheese with sweet potato frites. YUM.

As a side note, when I run, prior to heading out I use a neutrogena acne pad on my face and other acne prone areas that tend to get sweaty. It's still coming up a little green three full days later. I'm guessing it's from my hairline, but I guess you never really know!

This Weeks Running Summary

Again, I love this gas station. Cracks me up all the time. 

Wedding. Everyone seemed so happy!

Super forbidding sky to the north. Lightening started moving in on downtown and ended my fantastic feeling run slightly early. That's ok I suppose. Ended at about 23 miles for the week. Not too shabby.

Seen on my Run

Up the Oak Leaf. Four miles down today, plus a bonus leg work out. 

Tree down! Just a block or two from my apartment. I wonder what happened?

Last run before I went out of town.

This Cracks Me Up

This gas station always makes me laugh with their signage. Whether its mocking itself or amusing things like this.

Dive Bomber

Redwing blackbird, pre-attack.

Stinky Voter!

Ran three miles before stopping off at the polls.

Ooh! New Restaurant!

Can't lie. I'm super excited to try it, and I've been wondering what they were doing with that building.

Sidewalk Heel

Ogden just west of Cass.

Yay Baseball!

And really close parking. And friends!!

Fountains!

I LOVE it when they put the fountains in for the season.

This Stripped at Rollerderby

Yep. I'm Here Again

Brewcity Bruisers!

Allegedly We've Hit our High for the Day

Don't worry. I was stopped at a stoplight.

This is what Eloise would look like if she were way bigger and lived in a zoo.

It's the Jazzy Jewels!!

I'm so happy they are here. You have no idea.
