Tuesday:
Our Speed Session coach was out of town, so this girl filled in.  Luckily, the big rain held off until the end of practice!  I got there early and stayed late to get 8 miles in.
My sweet friend Shyla left this note on my car!  Here’s my friend Jenn’s story of “Strong Toast”
I got the most wonderfully painful sports massage from Robin Frazier at Franklin Massage Center!  I’ve been going every two weeks and it’s really helping.
Taco Tuesday!  Recipe HERE!
@RunnerMarx has been hosting a little mileage competition on Instagram while he’s been out with an injury.  The rules were simple: just tag a picture of your run with mileage and #MilesForRunnerMarx.  He’s finally recovered, running again, and ended the contest.

Here are pics of the top 20!

Wednesday:
I started the day with the new Runner’s World at The Perch.
I met my friends at Percy Warner Park to run the 11.2 mile loop.  We call it the Monkey Run because it’s a portion of the Flying Monkey Marathon course.
I realized that I had a skulls theme today…hat, jacket, and earrings!
Big thanks to Fleet Feet and Nike for the new Race Team/ Ultra Dirtbag swag!!!
I had some veggies left from Taco Tuesday, so I added black beans, salsa, and made nachos for dinner…YUM!!!!
Lastly, one of my favorite quotes from Breakfast at Tiffany’s…
Do you still read paper magazines?  What are your favorite magazines?  I subscribe through mail and love Runner’s World, Cooking Light, and O!
Are you good about eating leftovers?  I’m the worst!  I usually don’t want the same meal two nights in a row and then I forget about them.
Are you having warmer weather?  It’s been in the 60’s in TN!!
