Last night Ben hit up Happy Hour with his co-workers so I paired my adult beverage with a quesadilla.
Then, when he got home he mentioned fro-yo and I was on it!
Since I have two half marathons back to back the first weekend of June I decided to do a test “run” if ya will, and do 10 miles today. I have a half marathon tomorrow. I know my legs will be tired, but I’m just hoping to feel good tomorrow and enjoy the race.
I kinda think 10 miles is my new favorite distance to run. I’m not sure those new shirts are great for a heavy sweater like me though…
Before my run I had PB toast and half a banana (because I shared it with Ben).
When I got back I rolled a bit and showered. Then, I wanted lunch. I’m used to longer runs on Saturdays (and later starts) so I usually have lunch-y food after a long run. But today it was only 10:30am!
After my 10am lunch I hit up the expo for tomorrow’s half marathon. It’s a small race and the expo was at a 24 hour fitness location at the Irvine Spectrum.
Okay, it wasn’t an expo – it was packet pickup. I was in and out in 3 minutes.
Ben and I also hit up Costco to check out a ceiling fan that was on sale. It was a fail, but the chocolate chip waffle sample was a win.
Since we were there, I grabbed my favorite bread…
But, does anyone else think it’s weird that each slice is “81” calories – not 80 or 75… That seems suspicious (mainly because each slice is so doughy and delicious I would believe they are more).
Aaand since we were there, Ben grabbed his favorite mixer. Looks like we’re going to have some fun tonight. I keep telling him I have a race tomorrow, but he can’t hear it. I think we should get his ears checked.

I always wonder about calorie counts that are that exact. I’ve seen protein bars that are 217 calories and drinks that claim to be 103. Seems oddly specific!

Nicole says

Good luck tomorrow!
I haven’t tried that margarita mixer. May have to! My girls and I had nachos to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Their idea and it was a good one!

Costco has the best samples! Its one of the reasons I love going in there.
I had frozen yogurt today too but it was from some place called Yogurt City. First time I ever went there and it wasn’t too bad. Pinkberry is still my fav!

Angela @ Health, Happiness and Harmony says
I have to try that bread! I’ve heard so much about it!
When we went to Costco, my Ben tried a piece of their chocolate chip cookie cake and spent the rest of the time trying to convince me we needed one to take home!
Jen says
I love that bread!
Serena says
I’m pretty sure prerace cocktails are good luck!
Jen @nutcaseinpoint says
I bought the same mix today… To ‘health up’ my margies, I’m blending in some mango (round 1), strawbs (round 2), and pineapple (round 3). I can’t tell you what’ll happen for any additional round though!
Valerie says
I like the way Ben thinks. I mean it is Cinco de Mayo after all…
Dawn @ dawninwonderland says

Missy says

tiffany says
yesss i love that bread! i just eat it plain and toasted. my parents say it tastes weird (too sweet) for sandwiches, though. haha and i agree that the calorie count is oddly exact.
Sana says
