Back in the Running Game
Is everyone having a good Saturday? Last night Chris and I made our weekly vegan meal (part of our green challenge). I realized that I eat vegan meals way more than once a week! Last night we made vegan eggplant parm by simply leaving out the cheese. And we had a side salad! This eggplant is amazing. And it makes making eggplant parm SO EASY! We also utilized our other green challenge by drinking some New York wine with dinner! Bully Hill is a really popular New York wine. And its pretty cheap too. This one was on the sweet side, just how I like it. ~~~ For breakfast this…

Celebrations
This weekend has been filled with celebration! And we’re just getting started! Friday night Chris and I went out with a group of his grad school friends to celebrate his Comp Defense. He passed so we had lots to celebrate! Congrats Chris! We took up two big tables at the Pump Station. I got an Apple Ale–my favorite–to celebrate! For dinner I wanted to get something I haven’t tried before so I went with the Black Bean & Corn Veggie Burger. I subbed roasted veggies for fries, and ordered with sans mayo, but topped with sautéed mushrooms + guacamole. RANT: I know I shouldn’t complain but the veggies were an…

Probably some of the best frozen waffles I’ve ever had! Frozen waffles are perfect pre-run fuel. 🙂 I headed out for a six mile run at around…

Entering into Double Digits: A New PDR
So, today I finally went THERE. I’ve ran the furthest I’ve ever ran in my life, setting a new Personal Distance Record (PDR), and entering into the double digit territory. It took me 1 hour and 42 minutes to complete ten long miles. I only took one break after mile six to get some Clif Energy Gel and water because I so tired and completely beat. I honestly didn’t think I would finish. I thought about stopping after mile six and calling it a day. But I wanted to see TEN MILES on my GPS so BAD!!! So I stopped at home and rested for about five minutes while I…

Seven Miles of Speedwork and a Running Giveaway
Happy first day of FALL!!! Is it just me or has the weather been weird lately? Yesterday I was freezing and today it was muggy and humid? So strange….BUT I have some great news for you guys, I have another giveaway!!! I will tell you about it in a minute…. But first, want to see something hilarious?
