Monday Funday and a Winner

OK… I know I sound like a broken record… but I seriously have NO TIME!!! < That just made me think of the Dish commercial! haha! Please tell me you know what I’m talking about?! Click the picture below if you don’t and it’ll take you to youtube to watch it!

Anyways, I have a few fun things to share with you all! (besides the Dish Hopper commercial!) I’m gonna tell you using the cliff notes version ;) Maybe next week you’ll get some actual blog posts from me that are more than just bullet points and cliff notes!  I have a week break from my aide job and will only be working 15 hours at my other job! :) yippee!!! :)

Fun Thing #1:

I got some new clothes! :)  I had so many coupons and a gift card and only paid about 1/3 of the full price! That’s a deal if you ask me! :)

Fun Thing #2:

I joined another yoga challenge on Instagram! It’s called the #fallinlovewithyoga challenge. I enjoy the challenge since I am not running right now! Today is Day 1 and the theme is “beautiful”… Dancer Pose makes me feel beautiful even after a sweaty workout! :) I’m still trying to figure this whole yoga thing out as I’m relatively new to it… so if you’ve been doing yoga please tell me how to improve my form!! Especially speak up if you know the proper hand placement on my foot! ;)  I guess I could just google it, but asking you is so much more fun! ;)

Fun Thing #3:

Yeah… this is happening! lol… (maybe) I’ve been told that it will still be fun even if I just walk it…What do you think? It’s going to be really hard for me to go to a race and be with all those runners and NOT run!  That’s why it’s a maybe… I won a free entry back in May so I’m already registered… I’ll keep you posted on my final decision!  But it looks fun!  Wish I had someone to go with!  Anyone in Columbus this weekend? ;)

And now the reason I know you are all here anyways… the winner of the Reebok Spartan Race Entry giveaway

Congrats Greg!! Please send me an email and I will get you your free entry code!! :)

Don’t Eat All My Cheesy Poofs!

I didn’t get a subbing job for today, so I rolled out of bed around 9am…
For breakfast I had a Hummingbird muffin, some blackberries, and some strawberries. 

The Hummingbird muffin is from the latest issue of Runner’s World (I found the recipe for you online HERE) and oh my goodness are they delicious!!  I made them this weekend!!  They have so many ingredients like applesauce, bananas, pineapple (few of my faves) … I did end up leaving out the nuts though because not everyone in my family (*cough* my hubby) likes pecans.

While I was catching up on blogs and updating my monthly workout journal (the paper under my breakfast plate)  I got a text from my husband asking if I had ended up finding a job for today… I replied that I hadn’t (oh the life of a substitute teacher) and he immediately responded with:

Really?! That’s the first thought that pops into your head?! Cheesy poofs?! haha! That husband of mine is crazy sometimes!!  After that madness I posted my Weekly Roundup and headed out the door around 1:45pm to get in a nice run in this gorgeous weather we were having!! :)  65ish degrees and nothing but sun!

*Drinking NUUN of course ;)

I ended up running 2.81 miles @ 10:05/mi [28:17] … I couldn’t help but smile the entire time I was running because it was just gorgeous outside!! Even despite the knee pain!  What’s a girl to do?!  I did find out the the local nearest (about an hour away) Fleet Feet has a trainer on staff and IT’S. FREE!!  If the knee doesn’t start getting better soon I am going to march myself up there and see if the trainer can diagnose or help heal me up!!

I ended the night with making some “Brookies”  Brownies + Cookies = Genius!!  Seriously!  Whoever thought of this is the smartest person ever!  So good!!! Hey.. I never claimed to be a health food blog! ;)  tehe!

I had already eaten one before I could take a pic! tehe see the gap?! ;)

How was your Monday?  What’d you do to relax this evening?

Did you race over the weekend?  How’d it go?

Did you make any food over the weekend that made you say “genius”! ?

#WW: OMG!! Coldest Day of the Week is Long Run Day!!

You can see the original source for OMG cat HERE

WW: Fraud Indeed!

 

Sidenote:  It has been extremely cold the first week of “real” spring here in Ohio AND we have seen snow a couple times!!  I am so ready for 70 degree weather and the sun being out!  Please do not rub it in if you have been having that kind of weather for a few weeks now, that would be below the belt! ;)

Who Loves Me?!

So… I decided to type my name into Google and see what popped up…

“Zaneta” + ENTER = a lot of results lol

BUT my favorite one was THIS ONE!

Guess what everyone is getting for Christmas?!  That’s right!! 

I LOVE ZANETA BRACELETS!!!   ;)

What’s that??  You want something bigger to display your love for me?!  You’re buying the hooded sweatshirt?!  GEE… I love you too! ;)

 

*Yes, I am aware that these products are probably for the place Zaneta, Iowa… which I hope to visit someday :)
