Guidelines

- The #linkup will be open 6 months (jan-june and july-dec), because if you’re like me, the recap comes later in the week/month and not the day of! ;) 

- Your Race Recap will stay up the entire 6 months

- If you post more than one race recap during the 6 month period you are more than welcome to linkup all of them!  ONE #LINKUP PER RACE RECAP.. no posting the same link twice… be fair! :)

- Visit the other Recaps that people linkup and leave comments!  If someone tells you they found you through the Race Recap Roundup #linkup please be courteous and comment on their race recap as well! .. the more the merrier!

 

Now go have fun and mingle on everyone’s race recaps!! :)

300!!

No, not the movie…

Welcome to my 300th blog post!!  Yes I realize it’s taken me a while to get here due to taking some time off from blogging in the past two years, but “Yo, Adrian, I did it!!”  ;)

So how am I celebrating??

I knew yesterday that my next post was going to be #300 so I ran 3.00 miles (I did end up tacking on .05 to the end, but 3.00 sounds cooler!) ;)  I would’ve run 300 miles, but if you read my last post on my knee pain you know it’s been slow going and low miles lately!

I also got my 300th blog follower yesterday and went over to 301 today! 
Welcome to my new friends!! :)

It’s crazy to think I started this blog back in August of 2010 to keep track of my training for my first half marathon and get support and advice from fellow runners!  You all have made me feel so much a part of the running and blogging community and I appreciate each and every one of you!!!  Keep inspiring and keep doing what you are doing! 

You all rock and are 300 types of awesome! :)

I Ate An Ice Cream Sandwich for Breakfast (VLOG)

I completely ate an Ice Cream Sandwich for Breakfast… well, my “2nd breakfast” I had already eaten breakfast about 2 hours before hand…Don’t judge me!  It was delicious!!  Ice cream is my favorite and I’ve gotten TONS better at not eating it straight out of the tub for breakfast! ;)

 

__________________________________________

I know most of you are completely over me talking about my knee pain but it’s affecting my life in a big way right now…  Here are some posts from a year ago when I started getting the pain in my knee: 4/13/12,  4/18/12,  4/22/12,  5/4/12
Before you watch the vlog, I apologize for saying “anyways” and “so”  WAY too much!!  I think I was just nervous y’all wouldn’t like me or something ;)  Don’t hate me cuz you ain’t me! ;)  tehe!

Here’s a great article from Runner’s World that resonates with my injury… Who knows, it could just be Runner’s Knee… but for some reason I was thinking the pain related to that would be more like the actual knee or just under it for some reason…Hopefully balancing the muscles in my legs (quads especially) and working on my hips will solve this problem! :)

Have you ever had a knee injury?  What’d you do to get better?
Have you ever eaten ice cream for breakfast?  Be honest! ;)
Any of you racing this weekend??  Which race?  Good luck!!

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”! ?
