June 30!

June flew by. Is it just me or was that fast?!

This morning's run was far better (and less eventful) than Tuesdays. awesome. 
I even ran a tad faster, without realizing. :)  I love that that happens.

plus it was a gorgeous morning.

As you may or may not recall.. at the beginning of this month, I gave myself a handful of goals.  Given that the month is just about over, we'll see how I did on those.

1. get up to 7.5 miles
           CHECK!   I actually went 7.8 miles without realizing. Apparently my runmeter app & mapmyrun weren't totally in sync, but when it works in my favor. I'll take it!!
2. commit to the half marathon
           CHECK!  only 5 weeks to go. Excited!
3. have a fantastic birthday
           CHECK!  so so good.
4. take Boston pictures
            ehhh. I took some. like a handful.
5. fully convert to my Mac.
            check.  I use my mac exclusively but I still have yet to transfer any of my pictures from my PC.  need to get on that.

I also had a behind the scenes goal to up my blogging & be more consistent which I did for the most part. PLUS 

I scored a ticket for the Healthy Living Summit, which is hosted by a bunch of my favorite bloggers. Super excited!

happy thursday kids!  only 24 hours til a 4.5 day weekend!!

alli got an iphone!

the month of Boston begins! 
It felt really great to be here & home this weekend.
strolled over to the verizon store yesterday afternoon to get my iphone! eeeekkk. love it.
& managed to make some progress on one of my june goals.

washington in the public garden.

I really need to start wandering around with my camera more often. then again the iphone camera does a pretty solid job.

my balcony

current set up - hence my goal to convert fully to the mac.

seriously... 2 computers. camera. too much.

I wasn't in the mood to run tonight. (must go in the AM)

but instead really in the mood to cook.

dinner:

2 small tortillas

1/2 cup fat free refried beans

one large slice red onion

1/2 medium tomato

1/4 avocado

1 oz shredded cheddar

salsa

in a sprayed skillet, on the stove til it gets crunchy.

delic.

and then I made GRANOLA.

coconut granola.  inspired by this.

i used agave nectar instead of honey since thats what i had.

i can NOT wait to eat this tomorrow.

sweet. crunchy. yum.

so glad Monday is over. I'm really hoping this week doesn't drag, but I expect it will.

Too many fun things happening this weekend.

can't wait!!
