Monday:
I joined friends for 6 miles and added on 3 more solo miles. I love following @runfoxxirun on Instagram. Her handstands and cartwheels always make me smile, so these were dedicated to her!
I got a chance to wear my new We Run Social shirt…love it! Of course I had to include a peace sign for the @pavementrunner!
We grilled our romaine salad
and the squash and zucchini from Dave’s garden!! (I’ll post recipes next week.)
Tuesday:
Track Tuesday workout:
4.5 mile warmup
5 x 1200m (400m recovery jog)
I skipped the cool down to take Charlotte to the vet. (Just a little update: We met with a neurologist and she goes back for an MRI next week. Thank you SO much for all of your sweet words and prayers.)
I made the yummiest Watermelon Chia Chiller…recipe HERE!
I was out running errands and had to make a deposit at the bank. I will forever be loyal to my bank because they give out warm cookies!!!! (It’s completely normal to make financial decisions based on cookies.)
I worked on my blog from my front porch swing…not a bad “office!” Yes, it’s 100 degrees outside, but it’s too cold inside because the A/C is constantly running. (First world problem.)
For Taco Tuesday…
we had Chipotle for dinner.
For dessert, I made a cup of hot chocolate in my new Just Love Coffee mug. I am loving our new coffee shop!!
Side note: Every time I buy a new mug Jason gives me a hard time. I hate clutter but I might have developed a mug hoarding problem.
Wednesday:
I met up with Kate, Jenn, and Corrie for a run through Percy Warner Park. Ollie, Kate’s pup, joined us, too!!!
I stopped by the Juice Bar for a smoothie after our run.
I always get the same green smoothie, but my friend Gail rave’s about the Cocoa Banana. I tried it today and it was the bomb.com!!!
I’m about to leave for Denver to run the North Fork 50…eek!!! I’ve always struggled with altitude sickness, and this will be my first race at such a high altitude. Everyone’s advice is to hydrate! Peach infused water has been my jam!
You know what else is my jam? Coconut Aminos. I’ve been subbing it for soy sauce lately and love it! Jason had a work dinner, so I had a avocado rolls! It has 65% less sodium and just a hint of sweetness.
Do you have too many coffee mugs?
Do you get in a rut of ordering the same smoothie, coffee drink, etc…or do you regularly mix it up?
Any advice/tips for racing at a higher altitude?
