As soon as I got home from work yesterday I grabbed a handful of grapes, my computer and got under the covers.  I had a mission and that was to catch up with Modern Family.

The Disneyland episode was the funniest episode I have ever seen and the part where Phil and Luke get so excited because they find out that Luke is tall enough to ride Indiana Jones made me laugh for 3 minutes straight.  I feel like I can really relate with Phil…especially his love for cotton candy and roller coasters.

I fell asleep for a little while and before I knew it Billy was waking me up to go for our run together.

We did 7 miles on our favorite road and it was HOT outside.  Our overall pace was 8:28 and it was so nice to not be carrying around my huge phone to use as an ipod on the run.  My new shuffle was perfect and I love the length of the headphones that come with the shuffle.

We decided to have a really chill night and do the least amount of things as possible.  We watched our gameshows (why do I become addicted to things so easily?), painted my toenails, packed and cut up watermelon.  Dinner time came and my body needed pancakes and eggs.

For some reason I hate measuring pancake ingredients and just take a guess with the amount of bisquick, eggs and milk to add.  Usually this method works out for me but not so much last night…just a little dry but nothing a 1/2 cup of syrup couldn’t fix.

Billy had another softball game and they won, I wonder if it embarrasses him a lot or just a little bit when I make up special cheers for him and perform them when he plays well.

It is an early morning for us!  We had to leave the house by 5 to get to the airport on time.  We will be touring Santa Clara law school today, exploring the city via our running shoes and hanging out with THIS GIRL!!! She is in the same area this weekend and so I am stalking her down to hang out.

Modern Family is one of the only shows which I can classify in the same level as FRIENDS- love it! I recently signed up for a virtual 10K race in end June so I thought it’s time to start training somewhat for it! Lately my runs have been short yet speedy (2 miles, max 3) so I did 4 today…next week 5, week after 6 and then focus on speed again :)! Have a great Saturday!

Phil Dumphee is my hero! (and a role model to all dorky dads) I want a little boy just like his. Yes, I saw the episode.

My long run is Monday. 20 miles. I took the day off work so I can spend this weekend serving the hero of our family and mother of my two little ones.

I have an 11 miler to do this morning!
Modern Family is one of my absolute favorite shows. It never fails to make me laugh! The Disney Land episode was definitely a good one : )

Modern Family is so awesome! The cast is perfect and the script is hilarious. I loved the DisneyLand episode!

And ha – I do the same when measuring out pancake ingredients! Can’t be bothered to actually dirty some measuring cups for it and it usually works out :)

I caught up on Modern Family today too! We must be behind the States though cause I’ve only seen as far up at Cameron’s birthday that gets messed up.

I can’t WAIT to go to Disneyland again one day- last time I went was in SECOND grade! Do you know how long ago that was? They were just building Toon Town, that’s how long ago! Sheesh, I need to get back to CA.

Ahhh clearly I need to catch up on Modern Family! I haven’t watched it in a few weeks!

I am married to Phil…LOL! Seriously, he is totally my husband, I just love him. I am also up at the unwordly hour of 5 so I can meet my friend for our Doggie Dash this morning, so tired! Have fun in Santa Clara!

Modern Family is one of my all time favorite shows – it is so funny!

“Long” run of 4 miles this morning. It is what the plan says!
I don’t wear shorts to run. But I like the Champion tempo shorts for walks or the elliptical.
LOVE Disney World. We were there last year.

I am OBSESSED with Modern Family! I got into it recently and watched all the episodes online from the earlier seasons. I could not stop! One day I watched an embarrassingly high number of episodes in a row, but its just so damn funny! I didn’t see the latest episode yet though, its on my DVR :)

For running shorts I love the Athleta Hana Run short, its the only pair I’ll run in. They never ever ride up and are so comfy.

I went to Disney World this Christmas and it was great. Very crowded but the decorations were amazing! I’m a huge Disney fan :)

Using a race as my “long run”. It’s the Cinderella 50K in Oakland. Gonna be a hot one!..
Hope you enjoy SCU!!

I am in disneyworld right now!! Wahoo. Running here is crazy. I sweat like a mad woman in this humidity. Have so much fun in Cali! We need to hang pronto when we are both back in happy valley!

I’m running long in the woods today. Probably somewhere around 3 hours–we tend to not count mileage because we’re so slow going UP the mountain…might equal out to about 14 or 15. That’s my goal.

I used to watch MF but no long have tele.

I love my tri shorts to run in! They don’t ride up or chafe.

Have fun on the left coast!

I’ve only been to Disney once, when I was 18. The hubby and I really want to go and check out Harry Potter World before we have a little one, that makes me sound super lame. Have fun hanging with Jess!!!

That Modern Family episode was great! I watched it two nights ago :) My family is going to Florida for my brother’s graduation this summer and my siblings and I are trying to figure out how we can get my parent’s to take us to Disney :)

We LOVE Modern Family and of course watched the episode!
I love Nike Tempo shorts, I really want Lululemon Run Speed Shorts which could replace my Nike Tempo love.
We were at Disneyland in September, first time since 1997 for me and 1999 for my husband. My favorite ride was on Modern Family, the railroad roller coaster!

Reply

I’m going to be passing through that area next weekend on my way to camp at Big Sur! Have a great time!

Hopefully a ten mile run if I don’t fall asleep. I think I saw you running yesterday on the Provo river trail? I was playing frisbee with my dog so I was kind of far away…and now I sound super stalkerish and creepy. Hav fun in California!

I think my favorite part of Modern Family would have to be the interviews they have with Cameron and Mitchell. My favorite line of this epsiode was “We’ve a runner” paired with a knowing look and nod. It’s so hard to believe that Cam is actually straight off screen!

My workout this morning was a 5 a.m. zumba/hip hop workout at relay for life. It was early, but it was fun (the stage was HUGE and the lights and system were awesome – I felt like a rock star). I’m teaching another class at 10, and that will probably be the end of the workouts for me today. Janae, you will be so proud – I chose a training program to start this summer when I’m training for my first half! :)

Have a GREAT trip!

I LOVE Modern Family! This week’s episode was hysterical!

Heading out for 15mi in just a few minutes. I haven’t done a long run since March, so this should be fun.

Reply

I did a 7 miler this morning…tapering for my half next weekend. Thanks for asking about shorts! I am having SUCH a hard time finding some I like, so I will definitely be trying out some of these suggestions!

I loved that episode of Modern Family… the fact that it took place in Disneyland made it that much better! I love Disneyland! I have a long run of 7 miles this weekend… not too bad. My body was killed after the SLC Marathon so its been a slow recovery. I love Nike Tempo Shorts!!

Reply

Haha, I hate measuring for pancakes, too! I usually just keep adding more milk or mix until it reaches the right consistency. Now you have me craving waffles! mmm

I used to like Nike tempos but sometimes the underwear liner bugs me. I’ve been loving the under armor brand lately!

I love how cute and tiny you are as a pregnant girl! So adorable.

No run for me today–I did something funky to my knee. I’m going to try to convince Andy to play tennis later on though! I’ll probably hit up the gym for some weights too.

Have a great weekend, Janae!

Oh my gosh, first, my cousin goes to SCU Law and loves it! Second, I live in the Silicon Valley and if you guys move here, I would be more than happy to show you all the best froyo places around town!! Have fun in CA!

Oh my gosh, you will love Santa Clara!!! My mom always wanted me to go there so that I could get married in their chapel :)

If you happen to be flying in to San Fran, try Red’s Java House for an amazing burger!

I had a great run this morning (in 85% humidity) but it was cool so overall perfect. I got to tag along with some super speedsters in my new running club since they were taking it easy for the first 8 miles of their 20 miler. RUnning with faster people meakse me faster and I love it!
I love Modern Family. I loved when Phil got off the Matterhorn and was running sideways. I laughed throughout the episode.
The fam and I went to Disneyland about 5 years ago. I was super anal and planned out the order we would ride the rides in order to maximize ride time and minimize waliking. My kids made fun of me until we got there and then appreciated my weirdness. They still refer to it as the best vacation ever.

Reply

We just went to Disneyland for spring break, so it made the Modern Family episode even that much funnier… LOVED it! I am trying to get my husband to watch it, but he’s decided he has to watch all the episodes before it first so he knows the background. Ya know, I don’t think you need the background for this one. Funny!

I did 11 miles today w/lots of hills… training for the Wasatch Back Marathon (not Ragnar) where I’m doing the 1st half, all up hill.

Reply

My hubs and I rode our bikes to the pool and swam. My knee’s bugging me so I’m going to take a few days easy.
We went to Disney World in January 2011 for the marathon. It was SO fun. We were little kids again for 10 days!

What is your run this morning? Long runs or races? Had a short for me run on the agenda this morning. It didn’t happen. My calves are so sore from Thursday’s workout, I can barely walk. I will be sporting compression socks all day.

Modern Family fans out there? Did you see the Disneyland episode? YES!! Took me back to our family when my younger daughter finally grew tall enough to ride the roller coaster she had been eyeing for years! She’s an adrenaline junkie!

What are your favorite brands of running/workout shorts?

When was the last time you went to Disneyland or an amusement park? Any in your area? Favorite ride? Never been to Disneyland, we always go t Disney World. It’s been 5 years since we’ve gone. We used to go every 3 years. We also lived 20 minutes away from a great amusement park in the Midwest. We would go at least once a year with my daughters. When I was a kid, we had summer passes.

Last time I went to Disney World was a couple of years ago. Brandon and I had just gotten engaged, and we went with his brother and his family. It was so fun seeing his nieces have such a blast! :)

I need to become a more experienced racer. I ran my long run 4 minutes faster than the race last weekend, what?!?

Lululemon shorts are my favorites. wore them today!

I now want a pancake, an IPOD shuffle and some hot weather!!! I now feel like the mouse, pig, moose, cat that all want something :)

What is your run this morning? Long runs or races?
I did spin this morning and then a 3 mile walk. I ran 2 miles yesterday and Thursday.

Modern Family fans out there? Did you see the Disneyland episode?
I LOVE this show!!! I watched it yesterday and about DIED with laughter!!

What are your favorite brands of running/workout shorts?
well I only own one pair of running shorts–from Old Navy and I LOVE them. I usually just wear Soffee shorts but they make me feel like my butt is hanging out! hah

When was the last time you went to Disneyland or an amusement park? Any in your area? Favorite ride?
Never been to Disneyland :( Where I live Cedar Point is literally 2 minutes from my driveway. My favorite ride there is a ride called Raptor!!

I want to be like Phil when I have kids! Also, Santa Clara has an amazing law school. My mom went there for her masters in engineering (I practically grew up on their campus)

Have a safe/fun trip to Cali!!!

Modern Family was HYSTERICAL this week! I loved Gloria and her shoes.

I raced a half marathon this morning. It was hot and hilly and even though it was a PW I am really proud of how I did. I don’t train on hills and they RAN OUT OF WATER from mile 4-11. So I was okay with it. :) and it just showed me what I need to do to KILL it in my July half!!

Have a great weekend!!

I did 7 miles, all I had time for. Everyone at my work was talking about that Disney episode & laughing, I havn’t really watched Modern Family.
We took the kids to Disney last year & are going again this year, cannot wait! So much fun!! and expensive:)

Reply

I ran the Mermaid Run (all women) for the Sirena 18 (an 18-miler! How random is that?).
Happy to say that I came in third overall and 1st in my age group. It got sooooo hot near the end, though! I practically slowed to a crawl in the last mile!

Reply

My run this morning was in the beautiful SUN!! Finally, we have had such crummy weather over here on the east coast!
Modern Family is definitely my favorite show- it cracks me up! I think each episode gets funnier than the next.
Favorite running shorts are a pair I have from lululemon that are no discontinued!! Sad, sad day. I only have one pair so I just choose not to wash them very often…

Reply

Hi Happy Saturday!!! I did a short 2 miler this morning, my ankle still hurts. Boo!

I don’t watch Modern Family, but I am intrigued about the Disneyland episode because I’m a Disney nerd. Might have to check it out.

I live in Orlando, with a Disney annual pass, so the last time I went to Disney (Epcot) was Thursday! Last time I was at Disneyland was in Feb of 2011. I miss it.

Fave shorts – Champion. Whatever is long enough to not make me feel naked on the bottom. :)

Ran the Grand Rapids Riverbank 25K this morning. Just missed my goal, but still a PR for me!! I like the Nike Tempos but I also really like Old Navy’s shorts and pretty much all their athletic gear!

Reply

I just bought some Old Navy shorts at the thrift store, and surprisingly, they are my new favorite shorts!

I picked up this great little Sansa MP3 player that looks a lot like the Ipod Shuffle. I LOVE IT! Like, I literally can’t leave my house without it to run, bike, or workout. It’s light and small and perfect! If someone is shopping on a budget, I would definitely check out that route! :)

Love Modern Family!

Is that ketchup on your eggs? If so, its nice to see someone else who likes ketchup on their eggs! People think I’m weird for doing it, but its the only way I can eat scrambled eggs.

I just bought my first pair of running shorts! I’ve always run in capris because I hate how my legs look when I run and I have a large rear so all of the ones that fit in the waist are WAY too tight or short. I just bought Fila Shorts. They arent too bad.

I LOVED the Disneyland episode! So freaking funny.

I think I tinkled my pants laughing at MOFA this week. It was unreal.

I love the Disneyland episode!!! Modern Family can turn any bad day around. It’s my go-to after a long day. So cool that you met up with Jess!! I need to start meeting more bloggers in REAL life!!

I love Modern Family; it has become one of my all time favorite primetime shows. I don’t get time to watch it during the week though since I am busy working at Dish or going to the gym with my husband. My Hopper saves the day by recording all the primetime shows for me and since it has the Auto Hop feature you can skip commercials in primetime TV! I mentioned to my husband we should do a race or something but I have never done one before. I don’t know if I could run a long amount of time without being on a treadmill.
