Hello! I started my day with an easy 8 miler. My legs really were NOT feeling it today and I took a few walk breaks in there too. Luckily, I’m taking tomorrow off from running and hope to be back in action Tuesday evening for group.
Post-run I wanted a smoothie. Unfortunately, Ben was working on the freezer last night and we forgot to turn it back on. Luckily, there was one big chunk of ice that is was still frozen. Time for a massive smoothie in a bowl!
Toppings: Attune Chocolate granola (warning: it’s more addictive than crack) and PB Puffins (warning: see warning for granola), plus some Cinnamon Raisin PB.
I think this might be my best topped smoothie ever! I went back for more toppings half way through.
I ate this while watching Cheerleading finals on ESPN. I was kind of embarrassed that I still LOVE watching cheerleading, but guys watch football and basketball forever too!
Cheer for life!
Those were the good days…
Confession: A big part of the reason I wanted to run the Disney Marathon is because I never got to go to nationals there
Ben and I are headed to Las Vegas today! We’re just going for a little fun trip and may catch up with friends while we’re out there
The last time I went to Las Vegas was for the Rock N Roll Half Marathon in December. Other posts – Deadication and Las Vegas RnR Expo
Before that I went for a Bachelorette Party, ate at Serendipity and had some beverages and dancing.
And when Ben and I drove from California to Maryland – our first stop was Vegas! Classic Vegas fun.
Okay, I’ve gotta pack – see you on the road!

Only cheerleaders equate Disney with Nationals! I am the same exact way! Love it! Now I am going to try and convince my boyfriend that he has to take me to Disney because 1) I have never been and 2) it will a cheerleading void.

The smoothie looks awesome, esp with the granola and puffins on top.

I have been wanting to go back ever since I went last year. When you’re dreaming of Vegas, references to it seem to be everywhere!! I wish it was close enough to drive to, because the major cost is the the dang flight to get there!

Every time I see that chocolate granola, it makes me crave Cocoa Pebbles. I’m very suggestible when it comes to food 🙂

Vegas! How exciting 🙂
Lauren says
HAha, no shame in watching Cheerleading. I only like to watch gymnastics and figure skating during the Olympics even though my husband would tell you those two sports should not be allowed in the Olympics. To each their own!

Is that cinnamon raisin PB from Peanut Butter and Company? They make SUCH good stuff. When I was in NY last year I made a special pilgrimage to their store 🙂

Have fun in Vegas! I don’t think I’ve ever seen cheerleading on TV before. I didn’t even know such a thing existed, haha!
Chad says
Very cool and I will have to give those toppings a shot!
Ash Bear says
Have so much fun in Vegas with Mal & Tina! Where are y’all staying? I had a blast out there last week and already want to go back!
alison says
Have a great time in Vegas!
I could really use a getaway right now. Sadly, that’s not going to happen. I guess I’ll just have to live vicariously through you! 🙂

Have fun in Vegas! I went there over Christmas and had a blast. 🙂
Halley (Blunder Construction) says
Mmm cereal toppings… Were you a fan of Bring It On, or Bring It On Again?? Or maybe you are only a fan of real competitions.
Maren says
