we’ve got some ‘canes over here!

August 30, 2013      14 Comments

Tonight is a big night.

The Miami Hurricanes take on FAU in their home opener in Miami Gardens. I’m absolutely stoked. The Hurricanes are one of the only teams on which we all agree (the Yankees being the other), so it’s especially exciting. And, no matter what, it’s going to be a great season!

Since it’s Friday, and we do fun things on Friday, I just wanted to share with you some of the things that help make our Hurricanes games complete.

1. The right top. It’s still a wee bit too hot to wear a jersey at outside games, so I found this adorable racerback tank from Nike.

It’s light and comfortable, and I love the length of it. I also really like the simplicity of it – just the split U logo on a white background.  Other teams are available.

2. The perfect accessories. I’m very blessed to have some incredibly talented friends, and Jodi, of Weil’d Hair & Accessories. Look at what she made me.

I cannot wait to show this off for games. Jodi can make these chunky necklaces in all kinds of color combos (she actually made the sweetest necklace for little man’s friend with a Rainbow Dash charm and neon beads). Check out Weil’d Hair & Accessories on Facebook and Etsy.

3. Beer. I love beer and football. Confession: I’m not fancy and I don’t appreciate beers that are “good” or “craft” or any derivative thereof. Bud Light is just fine by me. This season will prove interesting since I have long runs on Saturday mornings and scheduled runs on Mondays – which means I’m going to need to go easy on the booze. I haven’t really been able to drink more than one of anything since my surgery, so it’s probably going to be easier than I expect.

4. Tailgate Food. You just can’t watch a game without the appropriate munchies. Mr PugRunner makes some amazing baked and grilled wings, and we will often pair those with things like my baked meatballs or a heavy dip (spinach dip, pizza dip, jalepeno popper dip, buffalo chicken dip… really any dip will do). It never really gets too cold here, but I still enjoy a hearty chili or french dip sandwiches on game day as autumn nears. Just something about those things screams “football” to me.

Are you ready for College Game Day and the start of the NFL season?

What things help make you feel ready for football?

    so fun! The Montana State Bobcats had their season opener game last night and won. We try to go up to Bozeman for a couple games a year.

    My husband also keeps his beer simple Coors light or Bud light is all he likes 🙂

      Awesome! I wish we could get to more games, but it’s a 5 hour drive and a few of the games really aren’t kid-friendly. I think ours is one of the only stadiums that sells alcohol, and with the big rivalries, it can get ugly.

      Yay for Bud Light! I love good red wine and good whiskey, but simple beer is the way to go for me.

    I’m not a big football fan, but my university’s inaugural football season kicks off next Saturday and I’m the football team’s tutor, so that’s exciting 🙂 I can definitely get on board with Bud Light and food, though 🙂

    My alma matter, Bowling Green State University, played last night and won! Way to have a home opener!
    The University I work for (my alma matter’s rival), plays tomorrow against Florida. They will probably get killed, and that’s okay by me!

      You never know… Florida’s got some holes this year. It’s going to be very interesting to see how everything shakes out.

    Love the tank and accessory! I bet its fun to live in a state where you can attend games! I could go to a few college games, but sometimes its just easier to watch them on T.V. than battle the traffic here on those nights:) Have fun at the game!!!!

      Well, the games I would love to attend are 5-6 hours away, so it’s not always possible. I’m ok with traffic – we just tailgate pre and post game until it passes. Game days are the best days!

    I am so excited about football season! Purdue (my alma mater) plays today, and Louisville (team I was born and raised as a fan) plays tomorrow. Football season makes it feel like fall, which is my favorite season. I can’t wait until it gets cooler so I can fix chili for the games!

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
