Weekend Wrap-Up

Saturday:

It was my last long run before Boston and my last run pacing my CMM group!  This Spring has been my favorite training season ever and this group has been a large part of that!

Obviously, it’s my happy place, and obviously I’m a big dork!  🙂

Taper is in full swing!  No RAGRETS…not one…not even one letter!

@fittasticmom shared the Boston Marathon forecast…perfection!!  What are the odds that this actually happens?!

My super amazing friend Jenn surprised me with the greatest Rosewater Pistachio Donut AND it’s vegan (but you would never know)!  Nashville friends, you must go to Vegan Vee (after you finish reading my blog of course)!

Dinner…it’s all about balance, yes?!

All that was missing from that picture was…

Sunday:

An empty gym is such a luxury.

I had a lovely early morning recovery run…

Followed by a big tub of fruit.

‘S’ is for Sunday, and…

And beacause I’m wild and crazy, I spent the night with a face mask (I would have smiled, but the mask prohibited any facial movement) and good book.

Seeing all of the Paris Marathon pictures this week inspired me to start this little gem of a book.  Almost French by Sarah Turnbull

Best thing you ate over the weekend?  That chocolate cupcake was good, but the donut was out of this world!

Did you race or run long?  Share!

What’s the best donut you’ve ever had?  I am obviously tapering with way too much time to think about food!

I Regret Nothing

This weekend involved a lot of baking and even more eating!!

 

 

Saturday:

I love the Saturday long run.  Run all the miles.  Eat all the food.

I met up with my Fleet Feet Country Music Marathon Training Group to pace.  This is such a fun group!

My sweet friend Becca was celebrating her 30th birthday!!!!

She requested my Molasses-Spice Cookies so I made a batch for her birthday party.

 

Sunday:

I kicked off the day with this yummy oatmeal breakfast.

I got my first pair of the new Saucony Zealots!!  I’m so excited to test them out this week.  I’ve read a lot of great reviews.

I have started getting in the Valentine’s Day spirit with these Cranberry and White Chocolate Chip Cookies.

 

His and Hers dinner at Burger Up.  I’m in love with their Marathon Quinoa Burger and his onion ring tower is legit.

 

And I just put a batch of these Red Velvet and Cheesecake Brownies in the oven.  I’ll have the recipe for these ASAP!

 

Peak and pit?  Peak: celebrating Becca’s 30th!  Pit: My achilles (although pain free) is still feeling creaky.
Did you watch the Grammys?  I have it on right now!
Do you change up your shoes or stick to one type and model?  I am very loyal to the Saucony Kinvara, but love trying new shoes.  Aren’t we always in search of the “magic shoe?”
