. link love 5/3 .

May 3, 2015 by Amanda @ .running with spoons. 27 Comments

Happy Sunday, friendly faces! Look who I found!

Me and Sam at Dinner

Sam came up to visit me for the weekend, except we were horrible bloggers and didn’t take any pictures. Oops. On today’s to-do list for sure. And because I didn’t want to be rude and spend too much time blogging while she was here, I don’t have a super fancy intro for you guys this week. BUT! I do have plenty of good links to share, so I hope you enjoy and I’ll see your faces tomorrow!

    I’m usually the worst at taking photos when I’m with other bloggers. I take it to mean we all need that moment away from blogging and social media and can just enjoy each others company.

    Look forward to reading these links! I think forgetting to take pictures can be a sign of a good time. I was never a big picture taker so it’s been a big habit change to start to do it regularly. But sometimes I get lost in the moment. Enjoy your Sunday!

    Not taking pictures is the best proof you were too busy having a great time. It’s awesome you and Sam got to see each other.
    Going with what I said …
    one (!) thing I did yesterday: have an all-around amazing day.

    Love the links as usual especially the workout ones this week (2 longish runs in a row yesterday and Friday because it is just too gorgeous outside!) And as for going out to live life…that’s what I’ve been doing all weekend, today a bit of studying may need to be squeezed in after lots of running, eating, and Derby-watching!

      Hmmm, but I’ve read some bad things about Melatonin, especially for guys! My wife says it can do some pretty bad things and to be careful. But she doesn’t like my taking my ZZZ sleep either!
