This pretty much sums up Monday mornings.

Spin bike for 25 miles and weights.

I tried this Arctic Zero Ice Cream and it gets two thumbs down.  I guess ice cream needs more than 150 calories to taste good.

Fleet Feet had an Ultra-Dirtbag kick-off mixer for the new training season.  Obviously we had a lot of Dirtbag pride and no we didn’t call each other beforehand!

To celebrate National Granola Bar Day (it’s a thing), I made these Chewy No-Bake Granola Bars…SO GOOD!  I think the cranberries and white chocolate chips make these perfect for Valentine’s Day:)

I’ve had a few people ask me about Shakeology.  I don’t sell it.  I’m not using it as a meal supplement, but as a healthier dessert.  My favorite “recipe” is:

1/3 cup dark chocolate almond milk
5 ice cubes (I’ve been freezing my coffee into cubes)
1/2 scoop chocolate shakeology
Blend and enjoy!!

The sun was shining and I was on my way to get a massage!

Robin Frazier at Franklin Massage Center gave me the best deep tissue sports massage!  She really got into my sore muscles with her elbows.  It hurt SO good!!!

I met the hubs for a Portobello taco dinner

and came home to bake apology cookies.  If you know me, I’m always early.  Well, I completely booked my PT appointment for the wrong time and missed it all together.  I felt so bad.  Hopefully these cookies will make it better when I go back for my next session!

My friend Kim Jameson posted this picture on her IG this week.  She bakes, loves live music, and spends a lot of time at the beach.  I want to be her when I grow up!  This pic is just too perfect!

Do you use sports massage as part of your training plan?  How often do you get a massage?

Have you tried Arctic Zero Ice Cream?  Thoughts?  Did I just buy the wrong flavor?

What are your favorite “store-bought” bars?  I love Picky Bars and Bearded Brothers!
