Five Friday Favorites
Whatever your politics are, it's important to still hear about what is going on and what our nation's leaders think. I happened to like the State of the Union speech a lot this year and especially the focus on girl power. With lots of problems in the world, people seem to forget the inequalities that still exist between women and men. Also Joe Biden is hilarious.
2. Favorite workout: Core Workout for Runners from Crazy Running GirlFrom People.com |
This workout looks awesome because it has some core moves specific for runners that does not involve just a million crunches. These reverse plank leg lifts below look especially difficult!
4. Favorite meal of the week: Grilled Bronzini from The Food Market
Last night I had an amazing dinner at The Food Market in Baltimore. It's a super hot and trendy restaurant that has been open for less than two years. I had a really nice brunch there about a year ago so I was excited to try their dinner menu. We started off with the hot nuts, street tacos, pan roasted popcorn (with grated basil parmesan and truffle oil!), and lobster fingers to share for the table. Lobster fingers are like chicken fingers, except made with lobster. They were amazing. Anyways, for my entree I ordered the grilled bronzini which was a massive piece of fish, perfectly cooked and paired with asparagus and a caper-raisin butter sauce. I also got some soy roasted brussel sprouts instead of potatoes because I love brussel sprouts. I'm so glad I was not disappointed!
5. Favorite feature: Featured blogger on Miles to Blog
Sorry for the self-promotion, but I am super excited that I was picked as the featured blogger on the Miles to Blog directory this week! Miles to Blog is a newer running blog directory that organizes running bloggers by location and allows runners to connect with each other by sharing blog posts and race recaps.
Any big plans for the weekend?
