I hope everyone had a great holiday! The pic above is of our local fireworks, which we are lucky enough to be able to see from our house :) We had my family over today for a cookout. Steak and chicken on the grill. Yum!!! I chose the chicken. Weird right. I LOVE steak! However, I had two cupcakes yesterday that my daughter made and decorated red, white and blue for a party, so I felt like I'd indulged enough! I love cooking for people. I think I should have more parties :)
I ran yesterday for the first time in a long time. I decided to try out the high school track made out of recycled tires. My hip (long story) was sore, but bearable. I started over with Week 5 of the Couch to 5K training program. Figured it was best not to rush it and injure myself again. I had enough left at the end to run the bleacher stairs for 3 minutes!! (My quads were screaming, but it felt oh so good ;) You can't really tell in the pic, but my face was sooo red! I hate that I get this red. My middle daughter does too, and it happens even without working too hard (can you say embarrassing?)Now, on to the good stuff... I have a little giveaway to celebrate my "return" to running and the 4th of July (incidentally, it's my brother's birthday!)
I bought a few extra goodies at REI on Saturday.
A Blueberry Crisp Clif Bar (Yum!), 2 Justin's Nut Butters, both with honey, 1 is peanut butter the other 1 is almond. Lastly, a small, convenient sized Body Glide for Her.

I love nutbutters. I have to say, peanut butter is my favorite, but I do like almond butter to switch things up once in a while. Hmmm, maybe I'll have an almond butter & jam sandwich for lunch today!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of the chocolate chip bars, but I also like the kids z bars. Their tasty and less calories - great for a snack.
