Today is going to be another busy day: errands, NuVal, two phone calls back-to-back (one involves very exciting news!), walk #2 with Murphy, gym date with Marie, dinner, recipe test, blog, bed. Wow, just typing all of that made me tired! šÆ
Lunch
I enjoyed a yummy lunch combo this afternoon: sandwich + salad. For some reason, these two always go so well together and they fill me right up.
I had a ham and Swiss cheese sandwich on whole wheat Sandwich Thins with tomato, lettuce, and sprouts.
In my salad: arugula, carrots, cucumbers, celery, tomatoes, sprouts, chickpeas, and balsamic vinegar. It was an awesome mix of flavors and textures.
Sandwich + salad with a juicy orange for “dessert”… delish! š
Do You Have Race Spirit?
Last night, Dave and Marie drove Mal and me to the gym for Body Pump. (The 4 of us have become quite the BP Posse! š ) When Mal and I got into the car, Marie surprised us with a whole slew of green goodies for our upcoming St. Patty’s Day 5K this weekend. She also bought me a light green t-shirt that says “Irish Princess” that I plan to wear on race day. š
When it comes to road races and fun runs, I’m usually such a bum and don’t dress up. I love costumes, theme parties, and fun stuff like that, but for some reason, I never participate in the festiveness of road races. However, after feeling like such a scrooge for not getting into the holiday spirit at the Jingle Bell 5K last December, I vowed to wear something fun and festive to this St. Patty’s race. I’m glad that Marie gave me a little push! I’m excited for Sunday!
Do you dress up for themed road races and fun runs?
