5 Friday Favorites

Happy Friday!  Here are some of my favorite experiences/senses/tastes from this past week:
date night at a new restaurant downtown


one of the most beautiful, unreal-looking sunrises I've seen at the
end of an overnight shift at the hospital
The sky was GLOWING hot orange, wish I could have captured that better.


I LOVE 'LONG RUNS'
I don't necessarily love the anticipation leading up to them,
but you can't beat the feeling during and after.


The last mile or two of my run on Fri was in the snow.
Yeah it was a little slippery, which was annoying, but it sure was beautiful!


My bounty of veggies, etc. that I bought from Relay Foods.
I've been cooking food more regularly,
including this amazing fire guacamole which was so delicious.

Have a wonderful weekend!  Anyone racing?  Any big plans??

  1. Your guac looks amazing!!!!!!!! I love to make guac, but my problem is that I eat it all to myself because my husband doesn't like it. The other problem is that I usually eat it one sitting. No self control!

    I have made the greek yogurt funfetti dip twice this week. It is awesome, but I keep forgetting to buy extra sprinkles. You really need extra sprinkles. :-)

  3. Way to go out and get a long run in! You are right, nothing beats that feeling! I am actually looking forward to my double digit training runs because I miss that feeling so much!

    1. Thanks Christie!!!

      I get them from all over the place, I'm always on the hunt for cute pattens. This dress is from forever 21, it was probably $15-25 or something super reasonable like that!

  5. Looks like you've had a great week! I love long runs too! I'm doing a half marathon next weekend, so I think I'll be keeping my miles on the shorter side this weekend. But, they are definitely one of my favorite parts of the weekend.

  6. Ooh- love the top (or dress?) that you are wearing for date night!

    I love long runs too, but I can get nervous for them the night before. Weird, right?

  7. My long run was 3h06 on the Saturday, and then I did an easy tempo 13miles on Sunday...

    13 miles might be a long run for a 10km runner, but if you are looking to race half mararthons and longer, you have to be running longer every weekend!!! No snow here only wind.
