Five for Friday

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these posts and it’s not even Friday yet! I’m waking up at 3:30am tomorrow and I doubt I’ll want to get on the computer.

1.  I will be on my way to Minneapolis for a business trip before the sun comes up tomorrow, and will be staying the weekend with my sister, BIL and my adorable niece and nephew! This all fell into place a few days ago and with a few other things, this has been a pretty unconventional week. I love it when I don’t have to sit at my desk all day!

2.  You all know of my love for Oiselle. Well, they’ve been hard at work in collaboration with the sportswear company, Title IX, to create a line of special edition t-shirts to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the enactment of Title 9, and the first designs will be released next week! This is a special project for the women of Oiselle, so please take a minute and go HERE to read their story! While you’re there, go check out their new Spring 2012 line. Super cute stuff!

3.  I mentioned an MRI in my last post. I got the results and all is clear so no need to worry about that anymore! I also went to my GP for a physical Tuesday morning and on the way I saw this…

Yes, that’s right New Yorkers! Panera Bread is finally coming to Manhattan! I only wish it was a little closer to our neighborhood!

4. These videos have been making the rounds lately. I have to say I love this one (and the New York version)!

5. You might have heard there’s a football game this Sunday. I usually watch the Super Bowl for the commercials but I’ll miss the whole game this year since I’ll be flying back, so I’ll have to catch up on Monday. I think every year one or two brands ‘leak’ their commercial early. This blows my mind since they’re spending millions of dollars just to purchase the time, let alone produce the commercial. But, apparently that doesn’t always matter. Anyway, if you haven’t seen this yet, here you go…

Have a great weekend!

  • Do you have plans for the Super Bowl?
  • Do you try to make healthy choices when you watch the Super Bowl or do you just have fun and give yourself a night off?
  • As a runner, what is the one thing you say most often?

Fantastic about the MRI! I hope you are doing a happy dance! And I don't have superbowl plans, but I am so darn excited about that commercial.

Safe travels to MN! I love the Ferris Bueller commercial. When it came out I put it on FB because I was so excited!
My vocabulary has definitely been enhanced since I started running!

Oh, Panera..... we love it down here in Alabama! I'm so glad the MRI results were clear. Yea! We usually have the Super Bowl on, but I don't really pay much attention...... I've already watched most of the ads, so is there really any other reason to watch? Last night at our school fundraiser, I did say, "I gotta take it easy, we have a long run to do tomorrow."..... yes, I really did.

I love Minneapolis! If you are traveling there a lot for work and need some tips for dinners and exploring let me know!! Minneapolis born and raised ; )

I loved both those videos!! Glad the MRI came back good and you are doing well! I just went to panera yesterday and got the mediterrian veggie sandwich and it was amazing!!!

I know New Yorkers are supposed to be somewhat anti-chain restaurant, but I LOVE Panera and am excited to for it to be here! I think they're putting one up on 86th St somewhere, so it's far enough from me that I won't go daily (because I would...), but close enough to enjoy now and then. Yessss.

That's the one I saw! Up on E 86th just west of Lex. While Woody and I are like you in that we try to stay away from chain restaurants since there are so many options here, we are also both happy about this! Although it's quite a far distance for us. Not bad for some post-race brunches though!

I'll definitely have to seek your advice next time I'm there for a few days (and when the weather is a little nicer!)

Happy to hear your MRI was clear!

I had mine on Friday, along with 2 ultrasounds of a different area. I want them to discover what on earth is wrong, i'm tired of being sick!
