FRIDAY 5
Here are 5 of my favorite things right now:
I’m so thankful for the Vitamix. For 6 weeks post surgery for Samantha, all she can eat is blended foods! The Vitamix really makes things smooth & creamy for her so she can eat good foods. Without it, she’d have to drink pre-made processed “crap”. This is all so much better for her. Yesterday, I blended an avacado, almond & almond milk smoothie. It was loaded with protein & something very different than the sweet taste of the protein powders she’s been having for days. I also made black bean soup in it & it was so thin & creamy. She was finally full from something she drank!
I love PB2. Enough said! If you haven’t tried it yet, I suggest you do! It goes in my smoothie almost every a.m.
Loving this new skirt I just got from the fine folks at Lunatik Athletiks. You’ll have a chance for one too. (next week)
As I told you earlier in the week, I’m so happy to begin marathon training! I LOVE the rush of training, pushing myself & the challenge to prepare properly.
That being said, as you know, I’m an ambassador for Esprit de She & I want to share some goodness with you! First of all, if you live in/around the Chicago area, there’s an upcoming race on July 18! It’s either a 5k or 10k. They have discounts for youth under 17 as well. Well, I hope you’ll join me if you’re around Chicago. I’ve never run this race before, but it sounds like a lot of fun! Here are some details:
Take a loop through Lincoln Park along the shores of beautiful Lake Michigan at the Athleta Esprit de She Chicago Run.
Runners, joggers and walkers are invited to an evening run followed by a night on the town like no other. Happy hour begins with a fun 5K or 10K run and ends with a post-race night market of festive proportions! Salute your success with a drink at our bubbly bar and enjoy tasty tapas and energetic tunes while browsing our bustling, community night market showcasing fresh produce, local artisans, creative projects and more!
And, since I’m on a roll with giveaways, one lucky reader can win an Esprit de She giftpack with an Athleta visor. You can’t win if you don’t enter!
I’m not going to do a rafflecopter for this one. To enter, simply tell me if you’ve ever worn a visor before. If you wear a hat while you run. If you run “naked” (without headgear). If you subscribe to my blog, that’s an extra entry. Please leave me a comment for each entry. I’ll pick a winner on July 11th.
