    I’d totally go back to Hawaii myself. Not just because our best friends live there, but it’s such a beautiful place to visit from time to time.

    How’d you like studying abroad in London?

    • [email protected] says

      If I had friends in Hawaii I would be there all the time! Its so amazing.
      I loved being in London, but I actually spent so much of my time there traveling to other places whenever I could. That was what was nice about being in England and being able to travel to a lot of other cities throughout Europe.

    Was just thinking of the movie Bridesmaids for some reason, hysterical! I would love to travel to all the places you’ve been. And Hawaii sounds good about now since it’s below freezing out.

      All I have been thinking about this week is going somewhere warm!

    I don’t think I knew that you don’t eat sushi. I didn’t eat it for like the first 30 years of my life and boy was I missing out. I don’t eat much fish at all but I make exceptions for certain sushi rolls!

    • [email protected] says

      November 18, 2014 at 11:03 pm

      I have tried sushi twice and I just can’t eat it! Not sure what it is, but I don’t think I’d even be open to trying it again. I really only eat salmon and a few mild types of white fish. Im just not a big seafood eater!

    Thanks for the tag! I’m looking forward to doing this 🙂
    I won’t share too much, but right now I wish I was at home. Next year I’m looking forward to starting externships and placements for school.

      Looking forward to hearing the rest of your answers:)

    Haha, I am right with you in “watching” whatever the hubs is watching. Thus why I know so much about football and bball even though I have little to no interest in it! I would love to go to the places that you said you have been (I’ve been to a few, but Ireland and Switzerland would be amazing!).

    • [email protected] says

      November 18, 2014 at 11:05 pm

      Switzerland was really great and different! I went snowboarding and skydiving there!

    I love that you balanced out your four favorite foods with two healthy ones and two indulgent ones! Balance! haha

    So exciting that your marathon is just around the corner now!!! 🙂

    • [email protected] says

      November 18, 2014 at 11:05 pm

      Haha yes- its all about balance!

    Hawaii sounds so nice right now. It was 26 degrees when I drove into work.

    • [email protected] says

      November 18, 2014 at 11:06 pm

      Yea it was in the 20s for me too!! So cold and windy today- I would much rather be in Hawaii!

  8. Michael Anderon says

    November 18, 2014 at 2:36 pm

    These are definitely fun lists 🙂

    I am not ready for the near-0 wind chills this week, regardless of what my running history says! I would love to be someplace warm. Not even ‘hot’ … someplace where it was about 40 for my 4AM run would be just perfect 🙂

    As to what I am looking forward to … not sure. To much crap going on around thanksgiving to say I am looking forward to anything but getting past it with everyone healthy, then there is so much swquished between then and the end of the year …well, same thing. Oh well …

    • [email protected] says

      November 18, 2014 at 11:07 pm

      I feel like we missed out on the 40 degree runs this year! Weren’t we were JUST complaining about the cold and now its back again! I hear ya on just being so busy over the next few weeks. Im trying to just make the most of it:)

  9. cori @ She's going the distance says

    November 18, 2014 at 2:45 pm

    Anywhere warm for sure…oh and I don’t eat veal or lamb either!

    • [email protected] says

      November 18, 2014 at 11:08 pm

      I haven’t tried veal or lamb since I was a kid but at this point I am ok just not eating it:) As yes warm weather PLEASE!

  10. Cheryl says

    November 18, 2014 at 4:35 pm

    I don’t eat broccoli, love veggies, just not broccoli.
    Good luck with the marathon!!

    • [email protected] says

      November 18, 2014 at 11:09 pm

      Oh man I can’t believe you don’t like broccoli! Its always been my favorite vegetable! I think I was the only 3 year old who LOVED it!

  11. Lacey@fairytalesandfitness says

    November 18, 2014 at 4:38 pm

    I agree! Anywhere warm would be great. Even in Vegas this past weekend it wasn’t as warm as we had hoped. I am really enjoying reading Gone Girl. Hope to see movie before it leaves theater.

    • [email protected] says

      November 18, 2014 at 11:10 pm

      I want to see Gone Girl too, but may just wait and get it on netflix. Im cheap about spending money to go to the movies:) I can’t believe that even Vegas wasnt warm!

  12. Amber says

    November 18, 2014 at 4:45 pm

    I’m in total agreement over preferring to be somewhere warm right now! Preferably somewhere tropical 🙂
    I love peppers & onions. Don’t like sweet potatoes though- think I had too many during the Whole 30 Challenge.

    • [email protected] says

      November 18, 2014 at 11:10 pm

      Wow no sweet potatoes?! I don’t know how I would survive lately without them:)

  13. Chrissy @ Pink Polish and Running Shoes says

    November 18, 2014 at 5:30 pm

    Ha! Thank for tagging me. Looks fun 🙂

    November 18, 2014 at 10:30 pm

    I would definitely love to be any place warmer than this! Ugh, I am dreading tonight’s workout. Since we are talking about carpooling to the marathon…I guess I will go then! 🙂 I will get on this later this week! I will use it to take my mind off the marathon, too! 🙂

    • [email protected] says

      November 18, 2014 at 11:11 pm

      Good luck tonight! I went out this morning and it was rough!!

    Your books are like looking at my kindle home page! I used to have a long list of foods that I didn’t eat but now there’s not much left that I won’t try although I’m still a little skittish about shellfish (oysters – I just can’t) although I did accidentally eat octopus (tentacles included) once.

    • [email protected] says

      November 19, 2014 at 12:41 am

      I don’t really like shellfish either! I used to be a much pickier eater than I am now!

Yesterday’s’ long run was 16 miles with 6 x 1 Yesterday’s’ long run was 16 miles with 6 x 1 mile MP/1 mile easy. I took a few hours of PTO in the morning to do this on the trail because I knew wouldn’t be able to do it this weekend. This was my first time on the trail since my marathon last November. It was nice to be back there and the perfect place to do this kind of long run. It was the kind of run where you start thinking “ok cool I just did a tough MP workout” but then you remember you actually need to run 26 miles in a row at that pace. Luckily there’s still 9 more weeks of training…although that doesn’t really sound like that much!
41 miles for the week and got in 2 strength sessions. Taking it easy this weekend other than chasing the kids around for all their activities! #run #marathontraining #longrun
It’s kind of freeing to not care about pace. It It’s kind of freeing to not care about pace. It is a little frustrating to have to plan more time for an easy run. But it’s definitely worth it to recover quicker and feel better on workout days! #run #marathongtraining #easyrun
You know marathon training is starting to get real You know marathon training is starting to get real when you start losing track of what training week it is. I had to check my calendar but this was week 6, so 10 weeks to go! 

I ran the Charles Street 12 last weekend so this week was all about easy miles and recovering from the race. That went well until I went and ran all the hills yesterday followed by walking around a maze and fun park for 5 hours. I got in some strength and mobility this morning and now I’m back to focusing on recovery!

If you’re training for a race how many weeks do you have left?

#run #runner #marathontraining #richmondmarathon
15 miles, over 1,100 feet of elevation gain, and 9 15 miles, over 1,100 feet of elevation gain, and 91% humidity 🫠 Pretty sure that was harder than my race last weekend, but got it done. Now off to my second workout of the day- taking the kids to an outdoor fun park. RIP to my legs. 
What are you up to this weekend?
