Hello! I am on my way to the airport to hop on a plane to New Orleans!!!
I am so so excited for this trip since I’ll be hanging out with one of my favorite people in the world – Chandra! We met at the Healthy Living Summit a few years back and it was love at first drink… Oh don’t judge, you know you’ve been there.
But – let’s get to the point of this whole RER thing – Running & Eating…
Foodie Friday
Last night I went out for sushi, but ended up getting chicken teriyaki. Such a pretty plate
Fitness Fashion Friday
I may not be up to date with the latest fashion trends… ‘hey, what do you mean yoga pants aren’t for all day, everyday?!’…
But, I do try out a lot of fitness gear. So, I thought I’d start a fun blog series called Fitness Fashion Friday and we can discuss which capris are best for avoiding camel toe and which socks make your feet look skinny.
This weekend I wore my new Moving Comfort sprint skort in Fiesta. I love it because it’s comfy and cute (the 2 most important things). The MC shirt showed sweat way too early in the run, so I’d pass on that though.
I have one in black and it also comes in purple.
Annnnd, I think I’m going to wear my new Run Eat Repeat tank for the half this weekend. I’m not 100% yet because it seems like it’s going to be super see-through when it gets sweaty so it’ll be a last minute decision.
Get yours in my shop! <- I’ll let you know how the tank works out before you buy the tank, but the tech shirt is good.
I added an album of pictures from RnR Pasadena to the RER Facebook page – check it out!
Question: What did you eat last night?
Are you running RnR NOLA?! I didn’t organize a meet up because I’m a mess, but I’d love to meet you. Follow me on twitter @RunEatRepeat so you know when I’ll be at the expo and please tell me Hi!
Jackie K says
I’ll be at the expo mid morning today. I’m excited to see you will be too!
Losing Lindy says
I love the shirt, if you have a sports bra on, who cares if it is see through? 😉
Missy says
I had birthday cake (not mine) and wine last night–oops!
Jodea @ chillichocolatelove says
I went to a Mexican restaurant and had grilled red snapper with chilli and lime stir-fried veggies, chorizo and pico de gallo. It was gorgeous.
Sue says
Had an avocado & pine nuts wrap takeaway from Pret-a-Manger. Lovely, fantastic, light.
Nicki says
Hi! Welcome to my hometown, New Orleans! I’ll be running on Sunday and will try to keep a lookout for you. Good luck with the race and I hope you enjoy your trip and love NOLA as much as I do.
Emily @ Main-Eats says
Your dinner looked AMAZING!!! My husband and I had pizza and brownies…we were snowed in so we went a little crazy! Oh well-it was totally worth it!
PoohBear says
I eat waffles for dinner last night
Kelly @ Running to Healthy says
Love the tank–wear it! Not running RnR but running the Tampa Gasparilla 15K tomorrow:-)
Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says
Most of the clothes I wear day-to-day are athletic clothes, too. Yoga pants are just so darn comfy! Travel safely to New Orleans and have a great race! 🙂
Lindsey says
Last night I ate grilled turkey and cheese sandwiches. I love loading them with peppers, pickles, onions and garlic. Had chicken noodle soup as well 🙂
Melissa @ A Girl Called Cake says
You should totally rock your tank at the race, you’ll get even more publicity when you’re the girl whose top is see through with sweat haha j/k. Last night’s eats were carnita’s mashed plantains and apple crisp.
Jessie says
Yes I love fitness clothes and I like the idea of talking about it on Fridays. Happy Friday! We ate chicken bog, ever had it? Heard of it? It is chicken, sausage and rice all together.
Susan says
Hope you have fun and a great race. I had a snooze of a salad for dinner last night but tonight is looking better with Easy & Light Shrimp Fettuccine!
Sarah says
I love talking fitness fashion! Fitness clothing can be tricky.
For example, I just realized in last night’s yoga class that the Adidas pants I got at Costco seem to do sort of the opposite of a camel-toe. I can tell Adidas was trying to do a gusset to avoid camel-toe, but it’s way too wide and too much extra material. It looks sort of baggy… but shaped like your hoo-ha area… so basically a saggy baggy set of lips I suppose. Yeah, probably an over-share, but a cautionary tale nonetheless.
Crystal@TheFastFitRunner says
Can’t wait to hear how the race goes! Don’t forget today is Margarita Friday around the country. So you probably deserve 1!
Alissa says
I had homemade Paleo beef stew for dinner! It was awesome! I love the tank, can’t wait to hear about the weekend.
Mindy @ Road Runner Girl says
I’m running the Rock ‘n’ Roll half in New Orleans this weekend!!! I would LOVE to meet you!!!
runeatrepeat says
Yes! I’ll be at the expo Saturday (thinking mid-morning) and then the race obvi 🙂 Please tell me hi!
Heather @ Run Eat Play says
You’re so blond! I love it! Have a great time in New Orleans!
Hannah says
I’m running the RNR this weekend! My first half!! I’m really excited to see that you (and CNC Tina) are running it since I’m a huge fan of y’all’s!
PS-Pretty please wear the RER tank or another obvious “Hey, that’s Monica!” shirt because it’d be super cool to recognize you!
runeatrepeat says
I will definitely rock red hair and a visor – so you can spot me 😉 Please say hello!
Sarah says
Wait…you’re not supposed to wear yoga pants all day everyday?? Crap…
The tank top looks cute! Have fun in New Orleans!
Cori @olivetorun says
I don’t know if you are connected to I <3 to run on facebook but they have this event that is right up my alley and I thought you may like it as well:

Elizabeth @ Positive Change says
Last nights dinner was turkey chili, with blue corn chips! Good luck in New Orleans!
Amanda @ Romancing the Unusual says
Have fun in NOLA! Shouldn’t be too hard! 😉
Cori @olivetorun says
I think part of the reason I enjoy running so much is because I get to wear comfy clothes while I do it. 😀
Nicole says
I have never been but it seems like a cool place to go! We ate jambalaya!
The Kidless Kronicles
Katie @ KatieEnPursuit says
Have a blast in NoLa! Eat some yummy stuff…& some drinks, duh! We had turkey tomato pasta sauce & some killer garlic bread for dinner. Comfort food!
Bri says
Last night’s meal was a mess bc I had to squeeze in a run & unpack. That means my hubs made me chicken nuggets & tots – the only good news is that they were baked & organic. I’m such a 5 year old!
Amy @ Writing While Running says
Love the shirt and see through is fine if you have a cute sports bra to show off! I’m not all about running in only a sports bra but I am all about showing off/highlighting the sports bra. GO for it! And have an excellent time in NOLA! Jealous.
Alyssa says
Love the fitness fashion idea. I need some recommendations for good running clothes. Plus my shorts are probably as old as the dinosaurs.
runeatrepeat says
Ha!
Leah says
I just ordered the Mexi-can shirt for my hubs. In orange, his fave. Thanks Mon for having a cool shirt for the mexican in my life. 🙂 Someday I’ll get my self something. Maybe the tank you have, or the I’d rather be running… shirt.
runeatrepeat says
Yeah! Let me know if you get a shirt and I’ll share it 🙂
Shannon in Tustin says
dinner: oven roasted vegetables (red bells, butternut sq, mushrooms, zucchini and red onions) over orzo and baked chicken breast (I always cook with bone and skin for flavor then ditch them when serving).
It was fan-tasty-tabulous.
Have a great weekend and a safe trip! 😀
Shay @ Whine Less, Breathe More says
Cute tank! And bonus that it’s bamboo!!
Sami says
I never remembered you as a bleach blonde as you were in the pics with Chandra?!
runeatrepeat says
It was a short, sad time in my life…
Krissy @ Shiawase Life says
Have the best time! cannot wait to follow your adventures as I have never been to NOLA!!
