I know it’s a little twisted, but I love getting up early and having a leisurely cup of coffee before my long run.

I paced my Fleet Feet CMM group.  Corrie and I ran 3 miles before, 17 miles with the group, and 2 miles after.  It was 26 degrees and ended in the 40’s…perfect!!

Afterwards, I inhaled a bowl of steel cut oatmeal.

Legs up with a knee sleeve and two calf sleeves.  Compression and gravity are my friends.

My Boston Marathon packet arrived in the afternoon…the best post-long run reward!!!

Even though I was worn out, we stayed up to watch KY just barely beat Notre Dame!

It was SO stressful!

I really wanted to sleep in, but I got my tired butt out of the bed and into the gym for a recovery run.

It was a beautiful day, so we took the pups for an afternoon walk.  Those puppy butts and tails make me so happy!

And, I wore my Choose Joy bracelet that Corrie gave me! (Caroline photobomb!)

Our first outdoor fire of the year.

It was a lovely day and I was sad for it to end.

Monday Morning Miles.  Never miss a Monday!

A few weeks ago I won 3rd place in the #MilesForRunnerMarx contest.  My prize, this rad hat, arrived!!

Has anyone tried Kalettes?!!

If brussels sprouts and kale had a baby, it would be kalettes.  I roasted them for dinner…so good!  (That sounded like I roasted a baby.  You know what I meant.)

What’s your next race?  How far away is it?  Are you ready? Boston is 3 weeks away…crazy!

Would you try Kalettes?  Jason doesn’t like kale, but he loved these.

What did you have for dinner last night?  We had seared tofu, lemon-parmesan asparagus, and roasted kalettes.
