Hello and Happy Friday! I stayed up way too late last night and ended up eating half a watermelon and toast with ricotta whipped cottage cheese and jam. I’m moving on from it, but yeah.
1. Anyways, I decided whipped cottage cheese and jam is the jam best! After an easy 3 miler I made French Toast topped with PB, whipped cottage cheese and a dollop of jam. So so good.
I think swapping WCC for regular in my French Toast Cups recipe would be amazing.
2. Leave a comment on this post if you want an online copy of Beginner’s Guide to Running. I have 3 to give away. Specify in the comment that you’d like one 
3. I had the chance to speak with Jesse Brune, LA based trainer and stylist. He teaches 20 spin classes a week. He’s also a rep for SoyJoy. I asked him what is the most important part of teaching a spin class?
Jesse Brune: I teach 20 spin classes a month, 5 days a week. I love it. It’s my moving meditation and one of my favorite things to do in the world.
Music is so so important. I email my playlist to the students because they love it so much. I will say I’m all over the place as far as songs go. “Like a prayer” is a good one, I probably have five different versions. People go crazy for it!
Jesse Brune (featured on OWN’s new “Home Made Simple”; Bravo TV’s hit show “Work Out”; Food Network’s “Private Chefs of Beverly Hills”). As a fitness trainer and transformation coach, Jesse knows how important it is to look good, especially while working out
4. Farmer’s Market is today!
5. It’s the weekend! I want to run away to a tropical island. 
Well, that or stay on my couch watching TV…
I’m off the train a client and it up the Farm Mark. (Yes, that’s what I call it in real life sometimes.)
Question: Any fun plans for the weekend?
*Diclaimer: SoyJoy sent me some bar samples to enjoy after my interview with Jesse.

First, sign me up for the book giveaway! Please?
And what am I doing? Going to the L.A. Times Festival of Books. Cause I am a book nerd. Plus, it is a great workout. Especially if you get a hotel 1.5 miles from USC and walk to campus so you don’t have to pay the ridiculous parking prices.
I would love a copy of the book. I have a dream of running one day, but I don’t know exactly where to start. Other than just getting out and hitting the pavement, of course!
Hey Vanessa,
You won the runner’s guide. Can you please email me reminding me it’s you at runeatrepeat at gmail.com
Fun plans include work and my last long run for my 2nd half marathon next weekend in Rotarua, New Zealand. Actually I lie it also involves going out with friends, thai food, dark chocolate and making the most of every day.

I would be SO excited to get a copy of that book. I don’t like to consider myself a beginner (I did a 5k last summer), but have had running-related injuries several months ago that have caused me to take a break from running. I dream of running a half marathon, but unfortunately am pretty much stuck starting from scratch with all the time I’ve taken off. This book would help (especially with preventing injury, I hope)!
Ohhh Ultimate Beginners Guide to running! I want one! 🙂

Also, I’d like to be entered for the book! Thanks 🙂

Question to anyone: What determines and when am I offically considered a runner? I totally think I am but I’m not sure! lol
