Track Workout was OUTSIDE, thanks to the time change. I did 6 miles, some warm up, then 2X200’s, 2X400’s, and 2X800’s at 6:30pace. Also a long nice cool down:)

7:30 pm Dinner: Taco Tuesday! I finally found the La Tortilla’s at TJ’s this weekend, boy have I been missing out. I made two turkey tacos with cilantro, red peppers,light cheese blend,diced tomatoes, and a dollop of Greek yogurt.

WEDNESDAY WORKOUT

I woke up at 5am this morning to run with some friends. It was so dark out and SO cold! I bundled up and made it out for a good 5 miles, my body was very tired from working out 5 straight days in a row, I will definitely be taking off from running tomorrow.

I made some Nature’s Path Flax Plus waffles, topped with Naturally Nutty Flax and Hemp Seed PB, 1/2 Banana, and some agave nectar. I also had a juicy and fresh picked orange. For some extra protein I had a little bit of my Odwalla Vanilla Al’Mondo.

Hiya! So check out my latest post for info about the Bourbon Chase. I have a few friends though who were worried about it being the Inaugural race and not too organized.

So, I did find two more similar races that have been going for a while. Will email you more deets and you can let me know what you think about them! Excited!

Mmmm, turkey tacos sound great. And that workout looks quite interesting. I'd love to try it, but it will have to wait until I'm done skating in March. I'll keep it in mind.
