#ex2adventures

So, I realized that after the marathon I gained some followers: hello new people! I'm not as cool as the marathon made me sound. See below photo for evidence. But welcome anyways! Just an FYI, if I don't follow you back, it's not because you aren't cool and interesting and pretty and smart and important! I just prefer posts about YOU, not reblogs.

Smiling is for selfie n00bs. God, I'm attractive.

You guys, the past few days have been pretty awesome. Last night, I stayed up past my bedtime hang out with some really cool kids. It was fantastic. In true fitblr fashion, we started with salad and ended with sangria. Moderation! 

I've been doing some running.  A few miles here and there to get my body moving and stay in shape. I've resisted the urge to sign up for about three different races. Instead, I'll be volunteering at the ex2adventures Fountainhead Trail Half Marathon in a few weeks. The only thing better than running a race is volunteering at one, seriously. I love it! Also, if you are in the DC-area (and have a car), I highly recommend their trail races. Well organized, good trails, fun times.

One thing that I'm happy to get back into is reading. I was a voracious reader as a kid but apparently, when you get older, you have to do things like "clean" and "grocery shop" and "cook" instead of hang out all day and read. I just finished Mr. Penumbras 24-Hour Bookstore and I LOVED it. It was adult without being heavy, light-hearted without being silly. Also a fast read, I finished it in two days. So if you're looking for a new book, check it out!

It's also MAY aka Mallory's Birthday Month (May 28th, mark it on your calendars). I had goals. But those disappeared while I was eating my double chocolate chip biscotti this morning, There might be a wagon around but I'm not ready to hitch a ride quite yet. 

Tomorrow: Ft. Lauderdale! I'll be in meetings for over 12 hours both Monday and Tuesday so I will probably miss a lot of stuff guys, I'm sorry.
