Hello! How are you? How was your weekend? Father’s Day? Saturday? Cheat day? Lazy Day?
I am here to report in with my marathon training for week 5 but I have a few lil bumps in the road to note:
A.) It was a million degrees. One.Million. I counted.
B.) I have not been recording my runs and notes as soon as I’m done like I did for the first two weeks of training. I need to get back on that.
It got to 104 degrees today.
And it’s kinda funny that the humidity is 25% here vs the 90% it was in Florida last week. Whew! That was rough.
Marathon Training Week 5
Sunday – 5 miles in Florida. Basically under water with humidity.
Monday – 4 miles. Just back from Florida and exhausted. 21 day fix cardio.
Tuesday – Run with Charlotte, 6 miles easy pace. 21 day fix upper body.
Wednesday – 8 miles. 4x 20 second strides at the end.
Thursday – Rest from running. 21 Day Fix Pilates fix.
Friday – 8 miles with some walking.
Saturday – 12 miles. Super hot. Whew. So hot. Help.
In fun cereal news I tried the new Tiny Toast Strawberry (it also comes in Blueberry) and it is so good. This is more of a snack food than breakfast but it’s still really good!!
Now let’s talk about my third favorite subject – ice cream!
I got all dressed up for the occasion because I love it so much.
I finally tried Creamistry last night. I’ve seen this chain popping up all over Orange County but really had no idea what it was all about. I am a Yogurtland girl all the way, but I’m always open to new ice cream opportunities so here we go!
It’s kind of complicated in that you pick your base, flavor and toppings. There are so many options!! I don’t know how it works exactly but they make the ice cream right there when you order it.
Step 3 are the toppings – you can choose to have them mixed in or on top.
I got the coconut with nutella and chocolate chips and almonds.
Every weekend is ice cream weekend. And running weekend.
My favorite ice cream is the mint cookies from Scoop of Paradise in North Shore! So yummy.
As you enter the store, the sweet smell of the waffle cones the girl is making just brings you happiness 🙂
Loooove this ice team shop!!!
Have never tried those, I guess we have very different icecream/frozen yogurt chains in Canada!
I’m lactose intolerant and ever since I found that out and changed my diet I’ve been feeling amazing…so no ice cream for me..
although I do have the occasional frozen yogurt as a treat…chocolate with frozen raspberries!! yum!
We have a new place like that in town and I can’t wait to try it! I am currently vacationing in Athens and I’ve had gelato both days that we’ve been here! Caramel yesterday and peanut butter today. They were both amazing and I’ll probably have to have it one more time before we head to Turkey. Ice cream is my jam!
my uncle took us to creamistry the last time we were in Anaheim and it was so good. I got the captain crunch with strawberry and nutella and died because it was so good. dude humidity is no joke, that is my daily running life and its horrible. winter get your butt back here i need cooler temps stat!
I don’t know what those numbers are in Celsius, buT I do know that this week the weather has been scorching hot, so I don’t bother going out past 25 degrees!
It is super hot and humid here in Texas too! Good luck to you on those long runs in the heat! Also that ice cream place looks like so much fun!!
Good luck out there too!! Stay cool and safe 🙂
I have never heard of creamistry but that sounds perfect. I didn’t have ice cream this weekend. Boo.
Actually I think it’s been over a week since I had ice cream. Crap I am failing at summer. Good thing it’s only the first day technically.
I have never tried Creamistry but it looks delicious. There is a famous place in Philly called the Franklin Fountain where you design your own ice cream and people go BANANAS over it.

Now I want bananas.
When it gets dangerously hot out, why don’t you run on the treadmill!?!?! I know it’s boring, but it’s better than heat stroke.
I can’t make myself go more than 4 miles on a treadmill. I used to run all the time on them, but for some reason now I can’t keep it together.
