10/4: Friday Faves {sneak giveaway}

-My two favorite people in the world, relaxing on the hammock together.

Hammock

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.

Braids

-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. 

Salmon tacos  1 of 1

Dessert: BTO

 

Bto froyo

(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 😉

New scoby

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.

Crossfit speed  1 of 1 2

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!

    Ran 11 today before my IT band seized then limped another 1 & after ice & rolling walked another 1 on the treadmill (for 13 total, goal was 14). The rest of the weekend will obviously be rest. 🙁

  2. Laura on October 5, 2013 at 6:38 pm

    Yin yoga this morning and vinyasa flow tomorrow. Yoga weekends are so lovely!

  3. Jenn on October 5, 2013 at 6:40 pm

    I’m excited for a trail run bright and early before church tomorrow 🙂 I’m excited about this giveaway. Thanks for offering it!

    We are visiting the mountains and will probably go on a hike!

  5. Kerry on October 5, 2013 at 7:15 pm

    It’s my last weekend before the Chicago marathon, so just a short run tomorrow!

  6. Stephanie on October 5, 2013 at 7:31 pm

    I’m training for a marathon so I had to do a long run today. Conveniently there was a 15k in town so I ran that this morning! Tomorrow is a rest day, but I think I’m gonna sneak some yoga in. These shoes look awesome!

  7. Brandi on October 5, 2013 at 7:43 pm

    My weekend plan was to run my first half and I did it! Super pumped!

  8. Megan (The Lyons' Share) on October 5, 2013 at 7:50 pm

    I ran 8 miles through the hills of Arizona today, and tomorrow I’ll either do the same run or hike a mini-mountain nearby!

  9. Melissa P on October 5, 2013 at 8:07 pm

    I take Saturdays off most weekends. Rest does a body good. Sunday I’ll probably go for a short 4ish mile run and do some strength.

  10. Nicole G on October 5, 2013 at 8:28 pm

    My fitness plan for the weekend is simple – long walk with my dog, Penny. I’m taking a break from formal exercise to try to gain some weight, but walking with my dog is super relaxing!

  11. Jackie on October 5, 2013 at 8:41 pm

    My fitness plan is working on my Couch to 5K program and CrossFit. And, of course, relaxing! 🙂

  12. Maggie on October 5, 2013 at 8:53 pm

    I have an 8 miler on schedule for tomorrow. So excited to start tapering for the Chicago marathon next weekend!

  13. Kim on October 5, 2013 at 9:04 pm

    Walk around the neighborhood and some weights.

  14. Stephanie on October 5, 2013 at 9:13 pm

    My weekend fitness plans include a 10-miler too! Also a bootcamp class at the gym 🙂 And most likely some foam rolling…

  15. Jennifer on October 5, 2013 at 9:21 pm

    Did 45 mins of intervals on the elliptical and a mile on the treadmill. Tomorrow I’m planning a 3 mi run and hopefully some weights!

  16. Lauren on October 5, 2013 at 9:22 pm

    Zumba in the am! My favorite. 🙂

  17. Emily White on October 5, 2013 at 9:23 pm

    We are going to the lake for the first time since moving to Oregon from NM. We had to leave our dog so I’m “borrowing” a friends dog (she’s a Caroline dog named Ruby) and taking a hike while the boys fish! So excited for some puppy love:)

  18. Meghan on October 5, 2013 at 9:26 pm

    Get in a run and lots of pushups 🙂

  19. Zoe on October 5, 2013 at 9:35 pm

    I am not a runner or athlete, BUT my soccer player boyfriend has inspired me to set a fitness goal for this fall. I have decided to train for a 5k on Jan 1 2014! Baby steps. So these sneaks would be baller!

  20. Sarah on October 5, 2013 at 9:50 pm
