Friday afternoon was pretty fantastic because of a little ol’ knock on my door.
I wasn’t expecting anything, but it’s pretty common for me to get random packages. Well, the Fed Ex guy showed up and said, “I have a big one for you.”
Yeah. Yeah you do.
Anyways, he handed me the BIGGEST box that contained 7 different flavors of Adonia frozen yogurt and 2 boxes of bars. And just like that, Friday turned fantastic.
You know I cracked it open right away! 
I also cooked up a big pasta salad yesterday afternoon for Matt’s party today. Details to come.
Ben and I were very long overdue for a date night and headed out to a sushi place we’ve been meaning to try for months.
Miso to start
And we tried three different “specialty” rolls. I love unagi and this was a CA roll topped with unagi and avocado.
We came home for dessert. I’ve been eating a truffle (or two) after dinner every night lately. But we also busted into the fro-yo too!
This morning I set out on a 16 miler. I have to start training for real!
So, even though I wasn’t really feeling it I grabbed some PB toast and iced coffee and got ready to run.
I’m a really salty sweater and I’ve been using Gatorade in my water bottle. It helps.
I ran by strawberries fields that smell ah-mazing! (If you follow me on twitter you saw this already.)
I ran to Whole Foods for a juice. A long run is hard on your body, but a detox juice makes me feel like all my muscles are slurping up the health!
And I grabbed some food from the hot food bar 
It had egg whites a little piece of quiche, 2 potatoes, a bite of chilaquiles and french toast casserole. I like to just get a taste of everything…
Now Ben and I are headed to my parents house to help with Matt’s party! I don’t drink often, but I plan on partaking in an adult bev or two…
When I visited California, I was amazed by the strawberry fields. Y’all have the most delicious strawberries in the world! As a matter of fact, I brought some home with me.
A box of fro-yo arriving at my door would be like heaven. How fabulous! Cannot wait to hear what the best flavors are.
What an awesome surprise to get the Fro Yo treats… Yay! I want to be a fabulous blogger just so I can get free stuff. I looooove getting free stuff! ha ha But, I’m also lazy so I don’t see blogging in my near future. I have a couple of questions for you…I am in the beginning stages of my first Full Marathon training. The farthest I’ve run is Half Marathons…
Questions: What do you do to get your mind in gear to set out and do 16 miles on the road by yourself? Is an iPod a mandatory piece of equipment? I run my half marathons “alone” meaning I don’t have anyone that is there to run with me and keep me company but I have the company of thousands of other people so that doesn’t count as running long miles alone. Without my iPod, I’m certain I would simply collapse in the road and mile 5 and DIE! Would love to know if there is a way to knock out 16 miles without it feeling like torture. 🙂
those looks so good
Love that pasta of yours! It’s been some time since I made these…think it’ll be one of my dinners this week.
That sushi looks good! You have me craving it at 5 am (thats the time here right now).. lucky for me, i know i’m having sushi tonight!
If I ran past strawberry fields I would be so tempted to run in and grab a handful for a snack!!!
As much as I complain about grocery options in the IE, I think it may be a blessing we don’t have a Whole Foods. I’d totally go broke.
yesterday i saw vegan chilaquiles at whole foods! i was intrigued, but it was 8 in the morning, so i stuck with coffee and grabbed some soba noodles to eat for lunch. the ‘quiles looked a little greasy to have as a main course!
I’ve never tried sushi, but I know that a lot of people like it. Just haven’t ever been brave enough to try it. I really like seafood, so I don’t think it would be too much of a stretch.
I don’t like “real sushi” as I say <- meaning, raw fish. I love CA rolls and unagi (which is eel, but cooked). Start with those 🙂
Ahaha, FedEx guy situation is practically straight out of that scene in Legally Blonde (go to 2:10 in this video–> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYkawsbgNl4). So funny. Those frozen yogurts sound GOOD!
I totally thought that last sentence was going the Dos Equis route 😉
Sounds like a good run- how are u liking brooks ghost?
I’ve been running the in the brooks ghost for a while (trained for my Oct marathon in them). I’m a fan 🙂
