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!

I’m biking to the farmer’s market tomorrow (about 8 miles), then taking a 5 mile fall trail hike on Sunday with my husband and dog Monkey. Time to enjoy this weather before it’s gone!
My husband amd I will be running 9 miles tomorrow to prepare for our half-marathon next weekend. I can’t believe the race is so soon! After training all summer, I won’t know what to do with myself when it’s over.
We’re driving up toMaryland to visit friends & tour their city so I’m sure lots of walking will occur, and I’m hoping to sneak in a run Sunday morning before we hit the road!
I’m running the Neon Vibe 5k and gettin’ in some booty werq!
Jillian michaels 30 day shred, week 4
We already ran a quick mile, tomorrow we’re running the Komen Race for the Cure, and then Sunday is a practice day for our Crossfit competition next week! It’s a busy weekend!
8 miles planned for tomorrow! Appreciate all of the giveaways!!:)
I am training for my third half marathon and swimming with my niece all weekend!
I love those shoes!! We just found out I am pregnant with #2.. I plan to squeeze a run in this weekend while pushing the BOB.. I will undoubtedly be thinking about how terrible pushing a double BOB will be!
Wow, what an awesome giveaway. I love trying new kicks. 🙂 I’ve had a really challenging work week, so likely resting tomorrow and some strength on Sunday.
This is a light weekend for exercise due to commitments, however, I am going to squeeze an early morning 1 hour StikeFit class (heavy weight bag) on Saturday before my events. This is an all body workout at my local CrossFit gym and we do everything from running to burpees, core work, etc. Last night, we ran 200 meters carrying a 75 pound dummy (with a partner). Of course, we also spend time punching and kicking the heavy weight bags. I love the diversity the class offers and you can burn massive calories while having an hour of fun! These shoes would be great for StrikeFit and CrossFit which I also do as part of my fun workouts!
Love the Reebok Nano’s! I’m planning to start my day with boot camp tomorrow, followed by yoga then resting on Sunday 🙂
Beginning training for a marathon, so long 10 miler it is for me as well!
I am also running 10 miles!
crossfit and some yoga to stretch out my muscles 🙂
My fitness plan is to get in a great weights workout and possibly a UJam session (super fun). I went on a beautiful 4 mile run this morning, which was a great way to start off my weekend fitness plans!
I would LOVE a pair of those! I did my first non-swimming, non-running workout this week in a LOOONG time wearing running shoes and my feet were HURTING. My workout plan this weekend is to tackle a 7 miler – eek! Longest distance I’ve run in about 5 years!
I have a hot yoga class lined up for tomorrow! 😀
I’m also trying to strengthen my knees because I’m doing a half-marathon training plan so I’ll be doing some of knee-strengthening exercises.
Body Attack tomorrow!!!! Love the shoes! 🙂
I’ll be doing a long in my old stomping grounds while staying with my parents and doing a girls only tabata workout with my best friend on Sunday!
I have a 4 mile run and a bootcamp class in my future and maybe some hot yoga on Sunday night. Love those shoes! Neon gets me everytime!
A walk for MS
my sister is home for the weekend and is currently training for her first half marathon so we’re planning on a long run together!
That froyo looks so delish!! This weekend I will work as a nurse running my behind off, but I plan to squeeze a Jillian michaels 30 day shred workout in to get some fitness on!
I have longest (and last!!!) long run tomorrow (20 miles!) before MCM in 3 weeks! Eeekkk!!!
I really want a pair of Nano Speed! I will be doing a boot camp class at my Crossfit gym!!
I’ll be participating in my first CrossFit competition!!!
I’m going on an 8k run with my boyfriend as our first “long” run for a November half marathon. Neither of us has run much lately so we’re starting back up again. And if the weather’s nice, hopefully we can get in a bike ride!
Soli Beat Saturday is going down! I’m love, love, LOVING sambe dromme…even if I don’t quite look as fierce as you and Sasha 🙂
Thanks for hosting such an awesome giveaway, Gina. Happy weekend to you and yours!
Those shoes are awesomely bright! Doing T25 this weekend with the hubs.
Love the sneakers! My fitness plan is yoga and pilates after work on all my work days, and Jillian Michaels body revolution on my two off days 🙂
I will be doing some yoga!
Since I’m recovering from a cold, probably some easy cardio and maybe some yoga depending on my energy level!
I am doing boot camp tomorrow (Saturday)
On Sunday I am doing my last race for 2013 (sniff sniff). The Rock n Roll Mini Marathon (5 miles).
Wahoo for the giveaway (and those tacos – YUM)! 🙂 My fitness plans for the weekend include a long run tomorrow and an active rest day canoeing at a local lake with some friends on Sunday. Thanks for the giveaway, Gina!
I have a sore quad, but planning on some strength circuits tonight and dancing at a wedding tomorrow!
Crossfit!
CrossFit all weekend with a special Oly lifting class on Sunday!
i’m gonna go for a pretty long walk – the weather is perfect! in the 60’s and sunny 🙂
My fitness plan is to relax on Saturday while watching youth soccer for my son and then a nice HiTT run on Sunday:)
Weill today and I did arms & 40 min cardio. Tomorrow I’ll probably do HIIT or back & abs. Sunday will be whatever I don’t do tomorrow…plus LOTS of stretching every single day!
So excited for a LONG yoga class this weekend…I haven’t been able to fit one into my schedule this week, but my over-run (literally) body and mind need it!
I have a 5K on Sunday to support our local elementary school!
Love that taco idea they look delicious 🙂
I’ve got my last long training run before my first half marathon next Sunday.
Hitting the gym and some prenatal yoga tomorrow! I wish Tucson offered more prenatal classes but I’ve found an awesome one that I look forward to every week. It’s definitely a highlight of my weekend! 🙂
I started my weekend workout plan with a 3-mile run at the park. Tomorrow im attempting to do 500 jump ropes. Sunday is my rest day:-)
Taking the kids on a hike, if the weather permits, and we may try a family run…the kids have seemed interested lately.
Such a cute pic of the pilot and Liv!
I’ve got 8 miles on the docket this weekend, my taper week before my first half marathon!
I’m doing a tech rehearsal for a show I have on Saturday tonight. I do the show tomorrow (I dance hip hop) 🙂 Also I have 2 rehearsals on Sunday, one from 11-3pm and the other from 7-9!! Dance is my life! 😀
I’m going to try for my first 8 miles since running my half!
