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 hoping to get to the gym for a quick strength workout tomorrow. My brother is visiting and the weather is supposed to be great (like in the 50s) this weekend, so maybe go out for a “hike” at a state park here in NE. I use the term “hike” loosely.

I’m running a 5 km on Sunday with work colleagues. It’s a breast cancer fundraiser. We’re running in honour of a colleague who recently became a breast cancer survivor! Last year we ran for her while she battled. This year we’re running with her.
I decided to run my first full marathon and Sunday will be my first run of the training plan!
I’m planning on a hike up Camelback Mountain to see the sunset tomorrow and I have a date with Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred on Sunday. Tonight, though, is all about the wine!
It’s going to be a first-marathon-training-while-in-gradschool kinda weekend for me: 7 miles tomorrow and 10 on Sunday. Plus some abwork both nights.
My weekend fitness plans will be a yoga class Saturday morning. Sunday will be a long walk & watching some football!
i am running my last long run of training before i taper next week and race my first half marathon the following week!!
Walk with the kiddo and a lower body workout. Then hopefully some time spent outside being active.
I plan is to run at whatever time of day the wind dies down. Its important for my fitness plan to be flexible. We might be hosting a tropical storm here in New Orleans, but if there is a window of opportunity for me to run, I will take it.
Meeting a friend for a big walk tomorrow…it always goes by so quickly with a side of gossip!
That braid is to die..
