<p>It feels so good to be home, but it&#8217;s only for a day before I head East for the <a href="http://hardwinadventures.com/cumberland-plateau-stage-race/" target="_blank">Cumberland Plateau Stage Race</a>. I think these two are going to disown me for all of my travel.</p>

<p>I was able to join up with my breakfast club for a hot humid 6 miler followed by coffee #1.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;m 5 pounds heavier from all of the yummy food in DC.  My body thanked me for drinking a post-run <a href="http://kimberlysnyder.net/blog/ggs/" target="_blank">Glowing Green Smoothie</a> for breakfast.</p>

<p>I stopped by the gym for some light weights and TRX. Here are two of my favorite exercises right now. (Just click to play)</p>

<p>I spent the rest of the day doing laundry and packing for the stage race. Skulls&#8230;yeah, I&#8217;m hardcore! Also, the first time I&#8217;ve busted out my headlamp in months.</p>

<p>Time for coffee #2!  I rarely do that, but I was in need of a boost for this&#8230;</p>
