Monday’s are tough.

 

I met up with friends for some Monday morning miles…

and did some strides after.  I wore my new Saucony Kinvara 6’s and really liked them!

I’m definitely a numbers nerd…love this!

Monday evening, Fleet Feet hosted the Amputee Blade Runners.  Fleet Feet Nashville gives each blade runner their first pair of shoes when they first get their new running blade.  Just another reason why I love Fleet Feet!

Running prosthetics are NOT covered by insurances and considered “not medically necessary” so our organization helps amputees keep an active lifestyle.
The Goal of Amputee Blade Runners is to provide a running prosthesis to one amputee athlete in all 50 states by 2016.

I was excited to wear my new Amputee Blade Runner’s visor!

Thanks to recommendations from JCJ readers, I tried the Chocolate Honey Stinger gel.  Oh my gosh…it rocks!!

Track workout:  After a bunch of spring races, we wanted to ease back into speed work.

I recently started training for the North Fork 50k, so I headed out to the trails for a few “runch” miles.  Everything was so beautiful and green!

Fun mail!!  I have resorted to ordering my favorite Umpqua Oats by the case!

And, I made another batch of chia seed pudding.  It’s been my craving lately.  This one has almond milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and peanut butter!
