Bros Fish Tacos
Last night I tried Fish Tacos for the first time ever!!! But I will talk more about that in a little bit. 😉 First, lets discuss last night’s five miler. My training plan called for a five mile speed workout. I’ve only ever done speedwork on the treadmill, and I really wanted to incorporate it into my outside run tonight. I think I did a pretty good job! Chris was my running buddy and we tackled 5.16 miles in 50:41. Stats Total Distance – 5.16 miles Total Elapsed Time – 50:41 Average Pace – 9:45 Average Speed – 6.1 mph Calories Burned – 607 Splits Mile 1 – 10:08 Mile…

Home Made Maple Peanut Butter
Lately I have been obsessed with Strawberry Salads. I go through salad phases. Sometimes I despise them and sometimes I love them. Weird. Lately, I’m loving the strawberry, spinach, and feta with raspberry dressing. My packed lunch. One of my new favorite dressings is Newman’s Own Light Raspberry & Walnut. So tasty. So fresh! Love strawberries. Since today was a “rest/cross training” day, I had some spare time when I got home from work. I wanted to get creative in the kitchen! I’ve had maple peanut butter on my mind. And since I ran out of my favorite kind by Saratoga Peanut Butter, I decided to try to make my…

A Blend Run and Meet Up
I woke up this morning to find this. Cedric, my cat, decided it would be fun to play in my foam roller box. How crazy is he? This evening after work I had my first “blend” (blogger + friend) run with Katie! We went to The Crossings for a 3 mile easy run, since it was on both of our training plans. I went to the crossings the first time back in July, and had a bad run. I think it was due to the heat, but fortunately today, my run was much better! Katie and I chatted the whole time and the 3.16 miles FLEW by! We finished 3.16…

A Rainy Day in Boston
Well, its Monday again! And yesterday Chris and I spent a nice (but rainy) day in Boston, MA. 🙂 We drove down in the morning and got there at around 1:00PM (just in time for lunch). Chris wanted to drive to there (it’s only a three hour drive from Albany) to meet up with his cousin, who was on vacation in Boston for a week. Before we had to meet up with him, Chris and I walked from Beacon Hill (where we parked) down to the Faneuil Hall to check out the sights and scout out a good place for lunch. There were so many places to choose from! We…
