10/4: Friday Faves {sneak giveaway}
-My two favorite people in the world, relaxing on the hammock together.
Livi now asks me to please braid her hair most mornings. She’ll tell me if she wants a braid, Dorothy braids or a bun. I tell ya.
-Salmon tacos. We had taco night this week, and this 15-minute meal was blackened salmon with lettuce, avocado and a cumin-lime yogurt sauce on corn tortillas. I heated up some black beans to go with it and boom! Dinner was served.
Dessert: BTO
(Nutella and Reese’s flavor with Reese’s, hot peanut butter and chocolate chips…)
-A new kombucha scoby! The “mother” scoby is usually only good for about 3 batches, and none of my baby scobies were strong enough, so it was time to replenish the stash. I have a giant batch of kombucha fermenting away in the pantry and am so excited to play with some holiday-esque flavors 😉
–These two posts about the reality of postpartum recovery. Wish I could have read these about two years ago 😉
–This article about knocking doors down and never giving up on your goals. Check it out if you’ve been needed a little motivation boost!
-Physique 57’s new website and an all-new cardio sculpt option for their online classes. I haven’t been able to do P57 at home with half marathon training, but I’m so excited to check out their new workouts when the half is over. If you check out the new ones, let me know how they are!
-Fall decor. As soon as this post publishes, I’m heading out to the garage to bring in all of the Halloween decorations. Scary excited 😉
-Another giveaway! There are THREE going on right now– be sure to enter if you haven’t already. You could win a 16GB tablet, a gorgeous cookbook + set of measuring spoons, or these awesome sneaks.
I asked Reebok if they’d be willing to give away a pair of the new CrossFit Nano Speed shoes since I love them so much. A lucky reader will win a pair of the new Nanos in size/color of their choice (based on product availability). All you have to do: leave a comment with a fitness plan you have for the weekend!
Me? It’s another 10-miler on the books for tomorrow.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend <3
See ya later on the Fashion page!

Running and stretching!
I’m trying crossfit for the first time this weekend!
Upper body weights today and lower body weights tomorrow.
I definitely want to get outdoors and do some walking/hiking with my family! This weather is AWESOME!
In between studying and doing homework I plan to hit up the gym both today and tomorrow when my eyes feel like they’re about to fall out from all the work!
I’m really awful at going to the gym if it’s not first thing in the morning, but I’ve got a writing exam, so this afternoon it’s off to go arms and hopefully a little running! And ideally, I would love to go for a long run tomorrow morning, but I might be back in the gym for more weights. I’m going through a weights-phase right now!
Biking Saturday and Sunday along with first of the season leaf raking.
Long run and then hopefully yoga to wind down from a stressful week!
Gym both days this weekend. Took a rest day during the week.
Running on the beach! Best vacation workout ever!
Today is one of my best college friends birthdays! Yesterday I took a spin class with yoga after. Today I am taking a spin class to jump start my day and prepare for tonight! I am so happy I can finally work out after suffering from tendonitus in my foot due to Nike training shoes with not enough support! I returned these shoes but now desperately need new sneakers! I would love to try these shoes — I am stearing clear of Nike!
I have a seven miler with fast finish in the plan for today!
I walk. A recent study shows it slashes breast cancer risk and, honestly, it’s the only plan I’m really likely to stick with this weekend!
My fitness plan? To rest and recover from a nasty bout of flu. Sometimes rest is what you need!
Thanks for the giveaway! I just got back from Bikram yoga and have a 5 mile run planned for tomorrow!
After skimming through these posts, I am feeling guilty I am taking the day off today to watch the Ducks obliterate the University of Colorado. Can I stretch while tailgating? Does a 3 hour hike tomorrow counteract all the fatty snacks and (gluten free) beer I am weighing myself down with today? I have been thinking about Crossfit too – perhaps tomorrow is the day to go check it out.
Family walk/jog today and prob rest day tomorrow.
A run with my two kids in the jogging stroller!
Flag football today, volleyball tryouts tomorrow, and MAYBE another 3 mile run to prep for my first 5k next Saturday!
Oooo those shoes are cool! And the tacos look amazing – I think I’ll have to make those tonight 🙂 my workout plan for the weekend includes yoga today and then a walk/hike tomorrow to stretch out the legs! 🙂
Have a great run!!
I plan on doing some zumba, barre, and walking around the mall!
The plan is to run 3 miles and then go apple picking with my husband and daughter on Sunday. I’m also hoping to sneak in some yoga.
Half marathon on Sunday!!
A 4 miler, some boot camp functional workouts and hopefully some
Yoga!
Today is up in the air and tomorrow is a 5K run for the cure (for breast cancer research).
I did my long run (12 miles) yesterday morning so today I get to do yoga and go for a walk with a friend!
I have a 6-8 mile run today and weight lifting circuit and tomorrow will be a long run somewhere between 10-13 miles!
I love the fall! Training plan for next week… A friend and I have been training for a 1/2 marathon and it’s happening next Saturday! So next week will be more of a down week…
Mon- 5 mi
Tues- 4 mi
Wed 5 mi
Thurs 3 mi
Friday 4 mi
Maybe with a bike ride or two thrown in there! 🙂
Mountain biking friday(17 miles) and saturday(34 miles), football and rest on Sunday 🙂
I’ll be doing crossfit later. These shoes would be perfect!
I’ll be running this week (doing C25K program), on my days off I like to do some yoga.
I found a new awesome park yesterday so I’m going to spend my Sunday morning running with my husband and shopping in the Farmer’s market (which is also a fitness plan with all these miles to walk, let me ell you! haha)
My weekend workout plans include a shake-out, two-mile run this morning (check!), a 10-12 mile run on Sunday, and hopefully a yoga class thrown into the mix somewhere. 🙂
Hot yoga with an amazing teacher!
I have 2 of Tina’s body bootcamp workouts on the schedule for the weekend 🙂
Hot yoga on Sunday!
I’ve got a session with my trainer Saturday morning, painting my entire apartment Saturday (i’m calling this a workout, it’s gonna be a marathon!) and then a -4mile run with my run club Sunday AM. I’d love a pair of Nano Speeds for functional workouts and training!
A deep, strengthening yoga session. Or maybe two!

I’m in college and this morning my roommate and I hiked the mountain close by, about 2040 ft high. It was quite difficult but felt amazing! Tomorrow I’m signed up for a Les Mils Body Attack class 🙂 Definitely need new shoes!
Rowing machine and resistance training today and a nice long walk in the beautiful fall weather tomorrow!
