It’s been an awesome day!
I kicked it off at Y2 with a yoga practice to knock out day 2 of the 62 day challenge and then taught a 90-minute hot vinyasa. Class was full of planks and chaturanga pushups today! 😉
I finally broke my 10-day no run streak and took Sullie out for an easy three miles. There’s really no reason for my run break other than having no desire to run. Since I’m not training for anything, why force it? I just waited for it to come back to me and today the road was calling my name. I had a great run!
I mean, how can you not enjoy your run when you have a running partner who is this cute!?
Lunch was a repeat of yesterday. Peanut butter, honey and banana on honey whole wheat with grapes and pretzels.
Brandon and I spent the afternoon together running errands. It sure is nice to both be self-employed and have flexible schedules. Our first stop was Starbucks to caffeinate. I ordered a soy latte and was excited to discover that holiday cups are back!
The main event of our errand running was computer shopping! Ever since my laptop died I have been in the midst of a huge internal debate of Mac v. PC. Your comments and opinions certainly helped my decision. Man, the Mac lovers sure are vocal! I was inundated with blog comments, tweets and facebook comments telling me to “go Mac!”
I listened and I am the proud new owner of a MacBook Pro!!! 😀 😀 😀
Honestly, I went into Best Buy thinking I was going to spend half the amount of money and get a PC but I just couldn’t ignore the insane amount of encouragement to switch to Mac. Hope I like it! I’m very excited.
And now I’m off to “vino and vinyasa!” Teaching the 7:15 and then going out for wine with my yoga friends. Such a good day!
We are working to get the new design live for Peanut Butter Runner. Hang with me if there is a little bit of weirdness over the next couple of days! Some of you got a sneak peek last night! 😉

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

I recently traveled to Big Bear Lake, California for the inaugural Big Bear Peaks + Pines three-day stage race hosted by TransRockies Running. This was my third TransRockies event in 12 months (see also Colorado + Moab) and I’m here to tell you that they can do no wrong when it comes to race organization [...]

Happy weekend! Another week in the books! I got three runs in (6.5 miles, 5.5 miles, 5.5 miles) and I have a trail run planned for tomorrow. Total weekly mileage will end up around 30-35 miles depending on if I go for 13 or 17 tomorrow! I’m 16 weeks out from the Golden Ultra so [...]

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]

Hi and happy May! As we roll into the first full week of a new month, I have almost a month’s worth of lunch ideas for you. It’s a great mix of sandwiches, bowls, salads and wraps. I hope you enjoy and find some inspiration for your midday meal! Open-faced chickpea salad sandwich on toasted [...]
