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 Iām 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 theyād be willing to take on a sad red-headed half marathon maniac. Next time I see them Iām going to try and ask if theyāll be my fren.
I did my 10 mile dance and then ate breakfastā¦
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.
Then, I did a little shopping for two fancy events I have coming up (one is tomorrow). Iām not in love with this dress, but I have nothing else to wear so itāll have to work.
I also picked up a few lot of things from Trader Joes, including these Falefel Chips. I love falafel. I love chickpeas. Put āem together! What does that spell? Chips, apparently.
Okay, I want to hit up another store and visit the fam. See ya later!

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… š

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 š
Nicole says
Good luck with the shopping! The omelet looked good.

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

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.

I like that dress! The color is great!
Rebecca @ Miss Magnolia Munches & Moves says
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 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 š way too much corn in them; I wanted more chickpea! more cowbell baby!
Lindsay (goodiesgalore) says
I have it in navy as well!! I went to a wedding last September and hour people showed up wearing it. It looked awesome on everyone.
Leah says
I have that dress in purple! I belted it and thought it looked much more flattering…on me.
TJ says
Monica, you know that falafel is made from chickpeas, right? =) So no need to, uh, put them together.
RunEatRepeat says
Yes, I realize that š

i ran 10 today too! and boy are my hips tight. i did manage to get in one 20 min yoga sesh this last week. i need it too. you must to it! how about a yoga download hip opener from the comfort of your own home?
RunEatRepeat says
In theory, but I never actually make myself do yoga at home š
Rachel says
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!!
Serena says
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.
