Thank you for all your comments on my NJ Marathon post. It’s kind of weird that it’s over…and that life goes on after a marathon (shocker!) because it feels like such a BIG deal in the moment. And I guess a marathon is a big deal. Except for the people in my office who still think I ran a 5K.
Annnyyyywayyyy, moving on.
Things I Love Right Now…
1. Nashville. After running the Country Music Half 2 weeks ago, I became obsessed with this city. I didn’t write a recap on the race, but you can read about (my roommates) Emilia post & Laura (who ran the marathon!). And check out, Sam‘s CM Half Marathon post too!
Moi & Emilia after the Race
2. Scandal on ABC. If you haven’t watched this new show on ABC, please start ASAP. There are only five episodes that you need to catch up on, which is basically a Friday night for me, so you can handle it. I would like to thank Ellen for introducing me to this amazing show. Mad Props girl.
3. NUUN Discount Code: “bloggerslovenuun” – 15% OFF. SHOP HERE. I highly recommend Grape, Fruit Punch and Lemon Tea. Even Batman loves Nuun.
4. LOVE this.
5. Underwear Horoscope. Okay this is hysterical, but also not PG. So don’t let the kids watch!
6. Great Articles I read this week:
* An everyday Athlete is still an Athlete via ESPNW
* When Motherhood Never Happens via Jezebel
* What’s Harder Than Winning? via Lauren Fleshman
* 5 Pieces Of Dating Advice You Should Never Take via Thought Catalog
* Trying to Figure Out What is Important via Thought Catalog
7. Apple’s Introduction Note to New Employees. Hire Me Please.
8. Tiger Balm. My office-mates probably hate me because I smell like an 90 year old grandma, but Tiger Balm is the stuff marathon recovery dreams are made of. And I am pouring this stuff on my quads like its my job.
9. Schmidt (Max Greenfield) from New Girl tweeted me. My life is complete.
10. Have I mentioned my next Marathon yet? CHICAGO 2012, See you soon. Or in 150 days according to the website.
Now Tell Me: What’s cool? What’s new? What’s hip? What should I be reading, watching, or eating?

I had watermelon today. It was so good. I live on it during the summer!!!
Tweet from Schmidt? Awesome! I love the awkward moments in New Girl. Thanks for the Nuun discount! Grape is definitely my favorite.
I’m obsessed with frozen mangoes and raspberries right now. Love fresh mangoes, but they’re such a bitch to cut up.
Yay for Nashville! Seriously, we’re going back for BOTH CMM and CMA Fest next year, right? Gah, let’s just move there. Roomies fo’ life.
“What are the hot new jams? What’s the 411?” … “Mom, go brush your hair.” …. “Ahh, you girls keep me young.”
Just reminded me of that. No idea why.
Mean Girls is always relevant.
THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT WHEN I WROTE IT.
yes that response needed all caps.
I like that we read a lot of the same sites, yet you always have a cool article for me to check out.
I’d love to go to Nashville, I’ve heard such awesome things about that city. I want to run the half or the full their next year! Plus I love love love country music (city girl likes country music? yes its true) so its practically made for me.
Tiger balm has been my BFF since high school when I carried it around in my softball bag like it was going out of style. I used to pretty much bathe in that stuff and now I have two jars of them in my running gear basket.. a must have!
CHICAGOOOOOO!
gladiators what what?! I am so excited for tonights episode.
may I highly recommend the song scream by usher too. great.
much love,
bestie
I am getting my Nashville post finished today! It is mostly about how awesome it was to have great friends like you there… really kept me going
XOXO
I still haven’t finished my race recap for Nashville…oops? I’ve never tried Nuun, don’t judge. And now I want to work at Apple…fml. Any chance you’re running the 10k on Saturday?
P.S. M’s eyes are not different colors, it was the damn red eye removal that sucks on iPhone sometimes lol.
You rock for that marathon!! Way to go! The watermelon picture had me dying and so did the Jenna Marbles video..she is my hero.
Jenna Marble is hysterical. Always. And she’s gorgeous….its kind of not fair,
interesting, i haven’t read a ton of positive thoughts on the nashville race. nashville the town though, i love! i almost moved there right out of school. i love famous people tweets.
and i love the kid with the watermelon. do you have HBO and have you seen that new Girls show? interesting…
Yes I’ve watched Girls…I think its kind of funny! My life is NOTHING like that in NYC…but parts of it I wish were.
Ahhh I didn’t know you were running Chicago! It is so freaking awesome! You’re going to love it!
Frozen fruit for the win! I eat it every day. Is it sacrilege if I say I like frozen blueberries better than the regular kind? I go through bags of them like they grew on trees. Which I guess they kinda do… well, bushes anyway.
Congrats on registering for Chicago!! I ran it last year and it was so much fun! I love the city so much, I want to go back. This year I’m running NYC, I’m nervous!
Also, that is SO awesome that Schmidt tweeted you – I love New Girl!!
Hello from a fellow lurker
Three things totally stuck out to me: First of all YES to Schmidt from New Girl! He might just be my favorite character on the show. Second – I just discovered Tiger Balm last week (I’m clearly slooww) and it is truly amazing! It’s magic, pure magic. And third – congrats on running Chi this upcoming fall! I love the city, but I’m totally biased b/c I’m from here
I’ve actually had tiger balm sitting in a drawer for months, maybe I should try it?!
Side note re: the people in your office who think it was a 5K: I hate when people call it a “5K marathon”. Like any race is synonymous with “marathon”. NO.
Congrats on both races!!
Chicago – My FAVORITE marathon (until NYC comes),
CMM one of my top five favorite half marathons, Try black jack dragon ice! has a nice smell, and does better job (i think than tiger) SUNNY in Seattle! 
should be a sick day for every mon-fri worker bee today 
how cool on max ….
nashvegas! my home town and FIRST half marathon. congrats!!
I seriously need to get on Twitter if hot men like Max Greenfield are just going to be twittering peeps like that
Jocelyn, you seem to run in so many fun places, which is totally awesome. If I had the time and funds for a vaca I think they would be running vacations – what’s your favorite (and most exotic) race that you’ve run?
We just moved to Nashville last year and the Country Music Half made me love the city even more. I thought the course was great and loved how many people participated. So glad you enjoyed yourself in Nashville!
