Happy Tuesday!
I hope y’all have had a wonderful day! Work was a bit crazier than normal but also filled with a fun, sweet surprise to celebrate my five year anniversary. Our office used to celebrate events with Crumbs cupcakes but lately Pinkberry has replaced that tradition which is fine with me!
My team knows me well and I think my face lit up when I saw the box of mini Pinkberry cups. I enjoyed mine with chocolate crunchies and strawberries!
The rest of the day’s food wasn’t quite as interesting.
After a great 4.5 mile run and stretching session, my stomach was growling like ferocious bear. Maybe my body forgot how much energy a run takes since I hadn’t run in a week. I added a 1/2 scoop of protein powder this morning and it worked wonderfully. I do however suggest adding some Splenda or sweetener as well. Without it the taste is a little, weird.
Every few days I try to switch up my romaine salads for something including a bit more nutritional value such as spinach. This morning’s spinach salad included mushrooms, beets, tomatoes, celery, cucumber, egg white, and spinach.
Unfortunately, my yoga dreams were ruined by my work schedule and Bo and I didn’t walk through the door until 8:45. We didn’t have enough ingredients leftover from last night’s salad to make fresh salads tonight. Therefore, we picked up salads from Toasties, our go to for fresh and delicious salads. It’s cheaper than Chop’t and has a better ingredient selection and friendlier staff. 
I spent some time last night updating my Race Recap section. It was so fun to remember all the great races I’ve run over the past few years but I wish I had blog recaps of each and every one of them. At least, thanks to Athlinks, I have all my race information. If you haven’t discovered Athlinks yet I highly recommend paying the site a visit. You can register and it will track all of your race information for FREE!
In addition, I’ll be building my FAQ section over the next few days featuring answers to all your questions regarding my work-life balance, the story of me+Bo, and my favorite New York sites and restaurants. If you have any other questions, just leave me a comment.
Finally, last but not least,as you may or may not know, I am partnering with BeFitNYC to provide free fitness opportunities for New Yorkers in honor of the BeFitNYC launch. There are a few other bloggers working to provide free events like Missy and Dori who are hosting an awesome Intensati class! I’d love for you and your friends to come out to the event if you’re free. The details are below but please do comment or email me if you are going to attend! I love meeting readers and fellow bloggers!
If you’re in NYC Saturday and looking to break a sweat, join me, Leanne Shear , and the Rogue Female Fitness team for an awesome “30/30” class! This great class is normally $25 per session!
