Sometimes, after a long day there is nothing I crave more than a home cooked meal, a long conversation on the couch with Bo, and curling up in a blanket with my curent book. But, at the same time I love my blog and feel like it’s due a bit more attention than it’s getting right now.
So, the good news is that I have a lot of ideas I want to blog about over the next few weeks and have already marked some time on Saturday and Sunday’s schedule to work on blog topics. We’ll be on a train for 3 hours Sunday for an Easter visit with family in New Jersey so this seems like the perfect time to catch up!
So, in fairness to the couch that is screaming my name, this post is going to be quick.
Here are a few pictures from my day that made me smile in more ways than one!
Combine a 5am Barry’s Bootcamp class with these amazing new shoes and there is no way the bright colors and endorphins won’t leave you smiling! These shoes were awesome for both the squats and jumping lunges on the floor and the sprints at 12 incline! More details about the kicks on Friday but seriously, if your current shoes are boring opt for a bright color next time. I promise, it brings smiles!
Even though Spring is taking forever to grace New York City with it’s presence, this morning’s sun rise over the East River gave me hope that it’s quickly approaching! I have loved every second of winter running but I’m ready for a long Spring filled with long walks home instead of the subway, the first flip flop day, and bright colored dresses and skirts.
During our walk to the subway this morning, Bo suggested that I try his favorite breakfast at a local restaurant, Dishes. I scoffed when he suggested adding their vegetable, chive egg whites to the stone ground oats. But, after a few minutes of convincing I scooped it together and promised him he’d owe me if they didn’t live up to my expectations. OH MY! These were absolutely divine! I haven’t had savory oats many times before and my previous attempts were clearly feeble in comparison to this bowl of goodness. This may become a Barry’s Bootcamp treat on Monday and Wednesday as my hunger is on fire after the class and all I crave is protein and more protein.
I celebrated my shiny new half marathon PR by ordering a 13.1 race bling from Erica Sara Designs to add to the 26.2 necklace Theodora gave me for Christmas. Receiving this sweet hand written note in the mail from Erica and team left me with the largest smile and a warm heart for supporting my friend’s company. I am so proud of all she has done in such a short time and know that there is more magic in the works. For now, all I can say is that this small gesture has convinced me to order a few more items for friends and family!
How about you? What made your day today?
