Birds the word.  Coffee and crepe at The Perch.

Then I took my caffeinated butt out for a tempo run in the new New Balance Fresh Foam Zante.

It was 65 degrees and they still haven’t turned the water fountains on…fail. (Garmin 620)

Monday night, I met my friends to run The Nasty.

The East Nasty Running Club does this uber-hilly route every 12 weeks.

I very rarely drink soda, but after a hot hilly run I was craving a cherry limeade from Sonic.  It was SO good!

BBC run and coffee after!

I worked on a new banana bread recipe with toffee…YUM!

A bunch of my friends still had not tried Chauhan, my favorite Indian restaurant, so I made a dinner date.  They were kind enough to humor me and pose with the elephant.

I love it when I’m first in the gym and the lights are still off.  Is that weird?  Anyways, 9 easy-paced miles to prep for Saturday’s long run.

I can tell that it’s peak mileage week for Boston training.  I went for a sports massage at Franklin Massage Center and it seriously hurt!  You know it’s bad when your massage therapist apologizes at the end.

Are you a soda drinker?  I try to limit my vices to coffee and wine, but that cherry limeade hit the spot!
