Fabulous Friday.

Happy Friday! Are you excited for the weekend? I sure am. Fabulous is.... Having a license! On Wednesday I finally got around to going to the DMV.
I was completely terrified as I waited alone in the car for the instructor! The test ended up being really easy. It was over in like five minutes, and it was just a few turns in a neighborhood.

Horrible picture... But isn't everybody's? (;

Fabulous is... This incredibly hilarious magnet my sister got me for when I drive.

Not the most flattering picture. I guess I shouldn't face the sun and wear baggy shirts... Wednesday was NOT my day for pictures!

Fabulous is.... Freedom!
I feel so adult and stuff when I drive me and my friends around.
I went to dinner & TCBY with Andrew on Wednesday,
and yesterday I drove us to a fair that was in a nearby town.

On the roller coaster!

This morning I drove my Cross Country friend & I to practice. She normally drives me, so it was fun to drive her for a change (:

Speaking of cross country....

Cross country camp is fabulous! 22 miles this week so far, and I have a long run tomorrow and a color run on Sunday.

However, the pains in my shins are not so fabulous. Ice is my besssst friend.

Fabulous is... Tera's Whey!

I got my protein!! I was very happy with how fast it was shipped. I recommend Natural Healthy Concepts for tera's whey.


The only way I have used it is putting one scoop in Almond Milk, and WOW. It was so yummy! I honestly didn't expect it to really taste good, but it did. It was hard to mix though. I had a few chunks even after five minutes of beating with a fork.

I still have to try it in bars/desserts and in oatmeal, but so far I am really happy with it.


I have some fabulosity later today. In a few minutes, my CC friend is coming over with her new doggie! She is a german shepard, and she will get to meet Sophie today. I have no idea how they will play together.

Later tonight, I have skit practice for a freshmen orientation that I am a leader for. I can't believe I'm so old. Two years ago I was a freshmen, now I am teaching freshmen about high school! Scary.


What's fabulous in your friday?

Just dropping in

Happy Tuesday everyone! What a busy couple of days...

On Father's Day I went out to dinner with my sister, Dad, and his side of the family. 

My hair looked good for the first time in my life so I took a few selfies. Okay the collage makes me look conceited. Somehow when I signed onto blogger this picture was under "my phone pictures". I never made a collage. Magic? Yes.

Yay for wearing makeup and anything besides running shorts! (;

Yesterday I had my first day of SUMMER RUNNING with the cross country girls!! 

The first page of workouts...

I had a blast. Everyone is so nice, and there is even another Type 1 diabetic! (: I am not the slowest one there, so my fears were irrational. There is a group of "beginning runners" who run a pace that is perfect for me. I love having others to motivate me on a run! The run seems so short when running with so many girls.

In addition to a run, we have been doing speedwork (sprints) and Core work and Leg work. It's HARD! The front of my right leg hurts a lot. Crossing my fingers I'm not getting shin splints.

I only got 2 days of camp because tomorrow at 3:30AM I head to the airport. Bahamas, here I come!

This means I will have to say goodbye for a few days :( I'm not going to have a computer, and, well, I just want to enjoy my vacation and not even think about blogging. 

I will, however, be on instagram! (: Follow my new BLOG account, @emilysmilesformiles. 

As far as running, since I have the workout schedule, I want to stay as on-top-of-it as I possibly can! I'm really hoping there is a safe path that I can run on by my hotel. The gym I would have access to costs $15 for a day pass, or $50 for a week. That's a lot of money to pay to run!

My question is... Should I bring my garmin? Without it, I will have no idea how far I've run, but I also don't want to lose it. Comment and tell me what you think. (:

I've got a TON of packing to do! Check back in a week for my vacation recap. Till then, find me on Instagram (:

Do you take selfies when you get dressed up, or is that just me? (; 

Do you bring your GPS watch on vacations? What is your instagram username?
