Recap of my weekend and a new training plan

Hello Monday:)

Its actually just another day to me. I am at SAHM, so in the summer time I never really know what day of the week it is most of the time. My husband works a 4 day split shift, basically our weeks run in 4's, lol!

This might sound bad to some of you, but those with kids know what I mean when I say that school needs to start SOON:) Our vacations are done for the summer, minus a couple day beach trips. And I think the kids are secretly ready too, although they would never admit it.



See don't they look like they want to go back to school:)

Anyways , I have started moving into more of a Paleo style diet. Its been about 2 weeks of eating about 90%Paleo. I still eat beans and dairy. And I have not felt better in a long time. I have also noticed I am less bloated, which is a bad problem for me.

My oldest son and I decided we would use my juicer I got at a second hand store for $3, Its an older model, but it worked...

We used spinach, apples, carrots, and strawberries. It was def a great combo. Next time I think I will use more strawberries. CHEERS!

Oh hello, after run puffy face:0
Do any of you guys get that after a run?

I also visited one of my favorite stores, Old Time Pottery...they have a great clearance area, and I found this new Yoga mat.

Of all the "fitness equipment" I own, I have never owned one of these. CRAZY? I know! A simple mat makes a big difference. I also have a new challenge starting this week...

I have taken a couple of yoga classes and even a bikram yoga class, and lets just say I pretty much suck at it. I am probably the most UN-limber (is that a word?) person in the world. Whats bad is even the relaxation parts in between, my mind is wondering a mile a minute. UGH! This book has day by day poses to do, so I am going to try and do a few a day. Wish me luck:)

I took a run in my Altra Zero Drop Delilah this morning. I love these shoes for my shorter faster runs. I have no hip pain when I wear these. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!

I am excited about my Saucony Kinvara 3's I won through the Find Your Strong Project. This was the picture I sent in for the week of showing off your medals.

Cute kids? Yeah, I think Ill keep them!

And last but not least, a new training plan is in the works. A friend of mine Ali, I call him Coach Ali:) is writing me up a new revised plan for training for the MCM. I am excited about this new plan. Ali knows what kind of runner I am, so I feel like it will benefit me better that trying to follow one online. As soon as i get it I will update all you guys.

I hope you all have a wonderful Monday...

QOTD: What fuels do you use for training? I am looking for some new ones to try.
