The kids have been out of school 3 full weeks now and I still don’t feel like we’ve settled into any kind of routine. In my head I think of July 4th as the ‘middle’ of summer break and it’s all downhill from there…you know days getting shorter, back to school ads cropping up (grrrr).
Have you settled into summer?

Runners, start your ovens!
I’ve been a baking fool all morning preparing for this weekend’s Kisses for Katie Auction, hosted by Kari.
After exhaustive deliberation I’ve decided my submission up for bid will be:
Healthified Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, Oatmeal Cookies
They feature whole wheat flour, a touch of oat bran, GU, bittersweet chocolate, protein powder…ok maybe not some of those….but take it from me they are the bomb and you need to bid early and often.

Mezamashii Project
It’s no secret that Mizuno shoes have been my long distance lovers since the beginning of time. I’ve run all 22 of of my half marathons and 6 full marathons and counting in Wave Creations. I am extremely blister prone but that problem was solved 0nce I slipped into Mizunos. As one of Mizuno’s biggest fans, I am honored to be a founding member of the Mezamashii Project. I selected my go-to shoe in beloved Master’s Mojo orange. Watch for these this fall on the Marine Corps Marathon course. I think I’ll pimp them out with Sweat Pink laces. If you haven’t already, go join the Mezamashii Project now and be eligible to receive your own pair of Mizuno shoes.
Anyone racing this weekend?
Have you entered my Zipfizz giveaway?
You are singing my tune here–three weeks w/ no school and yet to establish a routine! Leaving for a few days at the shore won’t help that matter, but I can’t wait.
Love the new kicks!
Our summer routine is not too different, but I can imagine what a transition it must be when you’re used to having kids in school!
I just won a pair of Mizunos thorough a giveaway and am SO excited to try them- I’ve always worn Brooks or Sauconys.
I though you wrote “heath-ified” cookies, as in the candy. You can see where my mind is….
Summer is flying by! I don’t work June and August and now I already have to go back to work for a month 🙁 These three months always fly by!
Those chocolate chip cookies sound amazing!
Yay! Thanks for baking! Those are some seriously kicka** shoes!
Wow- those shoes are HAWT! Great colors! I’ve never tried Mizunos before, but looking like I will. Is there really Gu in those cookies?
The new Mizunos look great! I am part of the Mezamashii Project too and I’m looking forward to getting my third pair of Wave Riders.
wow..those are some nice looking shoes!!!
I have to be patient and wait for mine to arrive in 3 weeks or so!!!
My kids have only been out of school for 3 days! I am hoping to set some type of routine next week. So cool to be part of the project! I haven’t tried Mizunos. No races for me this weekend except my virtual race:)
Wait, you put GU in your cookies? That’s cool! How much and what flavor?
Yay for loving a brand and getting to be a part of a great project. So awesome!
UM!!!?!?! How did I miss your cookies on that baked goods dirty talk of a blog post??
I am going to check out this project now!! Love the information in this.
Wait, what? 4th of July is around the corner? Uhhh…. where did time go?
Hey Marcia, You won the Chike Energy Protein shake. Email me your mailing address and phone number and I will forward it on to Chase. Congrats
and I realy thought you included GU in those cookies when I first read the post!!!! Anyway, no racing this weekend but participated in a charity run. It was fun!
apparently–to my CHAGRIN :-)–the summer routine here is no routine at all.
who knew? 🙂
The cookies look delicious! Yum! And I’m a Mizuno fan too!
