Happy Birthday Mom!
Happy Birthday Mommy!
For some reason when I was looking for photos of my Mom on Facebook the majority of them were of her and Maddie.
Does she love her grand pup or what? 
Today my beautiful Mother turns 46.
Don’t be scared of that age Mom! Be proud of it! Own it!
Currently my Mom and Dad are celebrating her birthday weekend in Colorado with family and friends. Even though my Mom is miles and miles away I know she still reads the blog everyday and would love it if we could greet her with some birthday love the next time she signed on. 
So, if you have a minute, please leave my Mom some birthday love in the comments section!
Because, after all, doesn’t she look fabulous for being 46? Doesn’t look a day over 35 if you ask me.
Oh! I almost forgot!
Happy Birthday to my Aunt Liz too!
They are twins after all. Can’t wish Happy Birthday to one without wishing it to the other.
I celebrated my Mom’s birthday this morning with some early morning Yassos on the track. I completed 7 sets of 800 with 3:40 jogs in between. Including the warm up and cool down I did a total of 6.8 miles in about 52 minutes. It felt good.
A Pack & Go Breakfast
Breakfast Cookie a la Fitnessista made of 1/2 cup of Rolled Oats, Apple Sauce, Chocolate Chips, Cinnamon, and Honey Peanut Butter.
Figs, Figs, and More Figs! (and blueberries)
When there powers combine…
You get breakfast!
Perfection.
One last HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! and I’m off!
Forecasts
I’m liking what I’m seeing.
Much better than…
Much, much better.
Those 70 degree temps a going to make my planned 20 mile run on Saturday much more enjoyable.
Oh yeah, have I mentioned I plant to run 20 miles on my vacation? Yep, that’s how I roll! Good thing I have friends who are training and willing to run the majority of those miles with me. Woop woop!
To recap, in the past I have completed 16 miles in Chicago, 18 miles in Tallahassee, 11 in San Francisco, and 12 in Miami (all while traveling). I’m telling you I love to run in new cities! It makes the vacation that much more fun!
I wasn’t feeling the afternoon snack I had originally packed this morning, so I dug into my snack drawer for something else.
Hello Clif Bar.
There was only half a bar in the wrapping. Don’t ask me how long it had been there or how I managed to just eat half of a bar at one time.
Still tasted good.
My fridge is beginning to get that ‘I’m going out of town for the weekend’ glow about it; meaning it’s pretty bare. Just a few random vegetables and a lot of figs.
Dinner consisted of what ever I could scrounge up.
This included a hummus sandwich with cucumbers, feta, tomato, cucumber, and basil on spelt bread.
(The basil really made this sandwich!)
Steamed broccoli on the side
Some chocolate and figs for dessert.
Don’t ask what I was thinking when I purchased two things of fig the weekend before I was going out of town. I feel like I have figs coming out of my head right now. Good thing I like figs.
Now, if only I knew how to make fig jam. Anyone have a recipe out there?
New York City Meet Up!
We have a plan! Looks like it’ll be vegan ice cream on Sunday at 3:00pm. E-mail me at graduatemeghann@gmail.com for details.
