Well, the hubs and I have decided on a menu for this week, and we're going sans recipe. Here it is.
Breakfast: Smoothies with greek yogurt, almond milk, spinach, bananas, and peanut butter.
Lunch: Sandwiches with Parmesan cheese, roast beef, baguettes, Dijon mustard and lots of arugula (my favorite green!)
Dinner: Spaghetti with whole wheat noodles, roasted Italian turkey sausage, zucchini, corn, and tomatoes
So far, the breakfast and lunch have been delicious. Dinner has yet to be tasted.
Here's the workout plan for the week (a little late, I know, but we have been doing quite a bit of R & R this Labor Day weekend)
Sunday: 7 miles (I did this at a 10 minute mile pace and equaled the longest run I've ever done.)
Monday: Stretch and Strengthen (I completed three reps of the total body workout by BackonPointe)
Tuesday: 4 miles
Wednesday: 7x400 (for questions, see the Hal Higdon training plan.)
Thursday: 3 mile run and strength (I'm planning on repeating the exercise I did today)
Friday: Typically this would be a rest day, however, we are traveling to Michigan for the wedding of the century, so I'm going to switch Friday with Saturday and put in a 3 mile pace run.
Saturday: 8 miles (the longest I've ever run, and it will be in Michigan! EEEEK!)
I'm super excited for this week, especially for Saturday's run! We will be in Michigan for my hubby's former roommate's wedding, which should be absolutely spectacular :) I'm sure that I will be in no running shape on Sunday and will use that day to celebrate the hubs' birthday with the fam in the morning, and travel back home that afternoon. I can't wait for another week of getting my foot in the door at the new job and plenty of challenging runs :)
Here's the inspiration for the week.
Even though we're no longer in Colorado, I can still appreciate the tremendous beauty of the golden aspens in the fall (and they should be going gold right about now!) I can't wait to run through the trails in Michigan on Saturday!
Happy Labor Day!
