[feel so close]

Grocery shopping time! This week, I feel really great about starting on a clean slate. I've crafted up a low-cal, clean eating list courtesy of all the beautiful people on Pinterest. I've linked to my Betty Crocker board if you're looking for more inspiration on food.

Breakfast: Delicious Black Forest Blizzard Shakes from Runner's World

Anytime Black Forest Blizzard

 Lunch: Crunchy Hummus Wraps from Shape Magazine


Sandwich Recipe: Crunchy Hummus Wrap


Dinner: Cajun Shrimp with Polenta from Fitness Magazine

I'm already feeling inspired by my delicious meal choices. My plan is to really kick my running into gear as well, as I've kind of lost the last two weeks of training already, based on my schedule from Hal Higdon.

Today: 6 miles
Monday: Feisty 50 and an hour on the bike
Tuesday: 3.5 miles
Wednesday: 35 minute tempo run
Thursday: 3 miles + Feisty 50
Friday: Rest!
Saturday: 3 miles
Sunday: 7 miles


I'm also going to try and post my mile pace each day. I feel like this will definitely put the pressure on as far as ratcheting the speed up for each workout, as well as ensure that I actually complete my run/workout each day.

I'm running in the Monster Dash  half marathon on October 21st and the Hot Chocolate 15k on November 4th. I couldn't be more excited!


Here's to getting into the best shape of my life and to a whole new chapter of running in my life - long distance racing :)
