10 Miles and a Dress

by runeatrepeat on February 25, 2012

Happy Saturday! I made a rough plan to do 12-14 miles today, but my hips just feel super tight so I turned around at 5.5 out and did 10.5 miles. I am going to yoga next week or I’m grounded!

During my run I saw a running group with an aid station and everything! I am kicking myself for not stopping and asking if they’d be willing to take on a sad red-headed half marathon maniac. Next time I see them I’m going to try and ask if they’ll be my fren.IMG_6831 (600x800)

I did my 10 mile dance and then ate breakfast…IMG_6832 (800x600)

I wanted eggs and I wanted to eat my sub from yesterday. Not being one to deny myself I did both!

I took out all the veggies & turkey, toasted the bread and put a cheese omelet right on top. Hit.The.Spot.IMG_6835 (800x600)

Then, I did a little shopping for two fancy events I have coming up (one is tomorrow). I’m not in love with this dress, but I have nothing else to wear so it’ll have to work.IMG_6841 (600x800)

I also picked up a few lot of things from Trader Joes, including these Falefel Chips. I love falafel. I love chickpeas. Put ‘em together! What does that spell? Chips, apparently.

Okay, I want to hit up another store and visit the fam. See ya later!

Nice run! I skipped out on my planned 18 miles this week and only did 10, but that was with a jogging stroller so I don’t feel too bad.

My bridesmaids are wearing that exact dress, but in navy. Even have it for myself in bright blue and almost bought the hot pink one too. Got a great deal on the dresses at Marshall’s. The best part is that it has pockets!!

In theory, but I never actually make myself do yoga at home :(

Monica, you know that falafel is made from chickpeas, right? =) So no need to, uh, put them together.

I have that dress in purple! I belted it and thought it looked much more flattering…on me.

i need a good yoga routine too as my hips are very tight.
do share what you find.
but i am the “yoga-challenged” I’m sure you are not.
did not like those chips :-( way too much corn in them; I wanted more chickpea! more cowbell baby!

That dress is a pretty color! I saw falafel chips for the first time today at Marshalls. I probably would have bought them, but am really skeptical about buying food at a discount clothing store.

I tried those chips the last time I was at TJs. Did you see the Quinoa Black Bean Infused Tortila Chips? They are soooo good.

Nice work on the 10 miles! I believe 10 milers should end with a dance…did one myself today lol

maybe you should look into joining a running group or training program? I do it and I love it. Makes long runs go by so fast and yes, the planned aid stations are amazing.

Good luck with the shopping! The omelet looked good.

I definitely read the blog title as “10 miles IN a dress” and I was really impressed! Still impressed, but next time try it in a dress :)

I had been eyeing those Falafel chips so my boyfriend got me a bag to top off my valentine’s day gift. Apparently the cashiere laughed/didn’t take him seriously when he explained his “dark chocolate, red roses & falafel chip” purchase combo. A man after my own heart… :-P
