Run Eat Repeat

10 Miles and a Dress

Uncategorized

FacebookTweetPin
25 Feb

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!

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      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… 😛

      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 🙂

      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.

      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.

      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 🙁 way too much corn in them; I wanted more chickpea! more cowbell baby!

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

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

      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!!

      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.
