First things first, pour a cup of coffee and let’s catch up:)

Like many of you, we had some cold weather in Nashville.

I saw this little gem floating around social media.  Crass…yes.  Hilarious…yes.

Thursday:

My heart is always happy when I meet up with The Breakfast Club!

Followed by some time on the Devil Bike.  That’s my pet name for the stationary bike while my Achilles heals.

Friday:

The devil bike is relatively new to me. I’m pretty sure this is an example of what NOT to do…

In my defense, that hill was kicking my butt!

I made this yummy PB&J smoothie!  It has frozen berries, Vega Bodacious Berry Smoothie Mix, Chobani Greek Yogurt, a splash of almond milk, and Coco-Nut Butter…SO GOOD!

Saturday:

It was cold!

I was so excited for to kick-off Country Music Marathon Training with my Fleet Feet group!  Pacing is my favorite way to run:)

Here’s a post on Reasons to Train with a Group and another on Guidelines for Leading a Group Run.

Followed by some core work…

I finalized my Rock N Roll Marathon Series Races.

I wanted to do so many of them, but these are the races that worked for my schedule: Country Music, Virginia Beach, and Vegas Baby!

Sunday:

While recovering, I’m running less and thought this was a great time to try my hand at pull-ups.  Guess what, I can’t even do a chin up.  I’m sure you’re shocked.  Here’s my first attempt (with a boost) and yes I was stuck.

I’m inspired to get a pull-up bar for my house, because obviously I have my work cut out!

And I ended the day with a slice of chocolate cake from Whole Foods!!

Do those door frame pull up bars work?

Can you do a chin up or pull up?  Tips?

Do you make smoothies at home?  What’s your favorite?

What was the peak and pit of your weekend?  Peak: Getting to pace the marathon training group!  Pit: My Achilles still hates me.
