MIMM #10 9/9/13

My Monday has been off to a great start with a morning workout (what?! on a Monday?!) and a huge bowl of overnight oats with fresh mango and blueberries and crunchy berry flax cereal on top!  My weekend included plenty of time relaxing which is a nice change of pace. Here are some of the marvelous (or less than marvelous) highlights!



MIMM


Marvelous is marathon training group brunches with no running involved but lots of talk about running and pitchers of mimosas. Sunday funday at it's finest. 

Marvelous is post run naps. Sunday I passed out after brunch on the couch for a couple hours with compression socks on.  

Marvelous is getting to the final episodes of Breaking Bad. GAH, it's almost over!!!

Marvelous is winning Meg's Tiesta Tea giveaway and receiving two yummy loose leaf teas and a nice big mug. The flapjack oolong flavor smells just like maple syrup.  I'll be drinking these all week!

Marvelous is fresh green juices. My vitamix fund is on hold at the moment due to being financially distressed right now (a.k.a poor and overloaded with bills) so I've been treating myself to fresh juices, like this one from a local farmer's market that I get almost every week. It has lots of pineapple and kale in it, which gives it a super tangy, refreshing taste!

Not so marvelous is realizing I need to buy new running shoes for the marathon like right now. Whoops. I forgot that even though my shoes still look pretty, they have a lot of miles on them and will need to be recycled! I'm going to get a fresh pair of the same shoes next week and get a couple runs in them and then put them on reserve for the big race. 

Marvelous is squeezing in a little meal prep for this week and discovering how awesome plantains are! I bought a couple due to the numerous recipes with plantains that the Purely Twins  post on their blog and made their two-ingredient plantain bread (recipe here)! It was really yummy and eaten before I took a photo, whoops. 

Marvelous is getting some cool things off of my new Poshmark addiction (thanks to Kate) including a funny "what could go wrong during 26.2" shirt from this lady (check out her closet!) who included a little good luck note and GU with my purchase, from one marathoner to another (almost!).

    1. Yeah! I'd say watch out for ones with lots of ginger (unless you are used to that taste) or go for a fruitier one when you first start drinking them! Evolution juices at Starbucks are yummy too or the ones they have at whole foods!

  3. I want to try that tea! Can you believe how the most recent episode of BB went?! I'm starting to go a little crazy wondering how it's going to end!
    Have a great week! :)

  4. I love getting new running shoes! I tend to try to make my shoes last longer than I should though. Good luck on your marathon.

    1. Thanks! I love new shoes, but buying the same ones is less fun. I always wear them too long I think and have trouble parting with old pairs.

  5. I'm always amazed by how much of a difference new shoes can make. When I got new ones this summer my legs felt a lot better. Getting a new pair before your marathon isn't a bad idea :)

    1. It's a good idea, just less fun to pay for the same exact pair of shoes :)
