Before I dive into today’s post I want to shed light on the tragic events that happened on September 11, 2001. Many lives were lost and lives were changed forever that day, and I can’t help but take a moment to recognize them today. We will never forget.

Hey Friends! Happy Friday 🙂
Good morning from Jake’s Brew Bar!
This morning I started my day with a class at The Ballet Physique and now I’m getting a little blog work done at this adorable coffee shop across the street before a meeting 🙂
Breakfast was delicious and easy thanks to my Love Grown and Justin’s to-go packets! (and a wonderful almond milk latte!)
I feel like it’s been forever since I have chatted with all of you, so I am happy that I can take the time to share some updates from the week with you!
This weekend, Brian and I don’t have a TON planned but we are going to a movie tonight and we are going hiking on Sunday. As for the rest, we will just have to wait and see!
I just have to start this “food” section out by letting you know that Wednesday I had an insatiable hunger…then yesterday I ran 18 miles so, I was also pretty darn hungry and well, today? Yep…hungry again! Ha!! When I have days like that I really try to eat lots of little meals rather than snacky foods. I put my mini meals on a plate and eat them sitting at the table and I make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. This helps me stay satiated a little longer 🙂
I have the chicken, veggies and rice all cooked up ahead of time.
I just toss them all in a pan with the spinach to warm it up and wilt the greens, toss it in a bowl and I’m good to go! So tasty and satisfying.
After a “taper” week last week, I had my longest run yet of 18 miles.
I definitely ran slower than usual, but I got the 18 miles DONE! I am still in disbelief that I ran for 3 hours. Today (the day after) I am feeling a little sore in my glutes, hips and hamstrings but that is to be expected. I plan on foam rolling, stretching and doing lots of walking to keep things feeling good.
Earlier in the week I did a quick 3 mile run and was happy to have a comfortable pace of around 8 minutes per mile.
After running for 3 hours, it’s amazing how SHORT 3 miles really feels!
Other workouts I did this week:
Just snoozing next to me while I study.
Sleeping under the bed in the guest room. So cute I can’t stand it!
This would look GREAT on Bernie!
Alright friends! That’s all for today 🙂
I hope you have a fantastic weekend and Friday 🙂

Thanks, Tricia! You are too sweet 🙂 Can’t wait for Friday!
Yes! That lion costume would be adorable on Bernie! I love it! Hiking on Sunday sounds nice, I may need to add that to my weekend plans as well!
You totally should hike! 🙂
Love that shirt you are wearing in that picture! For the weekend, I’ve got 2 yogas classes and a wine tasting on the schedule..can’t wait! Have a great weekend 🙂
Thanks, Sara! It was on sale at Target!! AH Yoga and wine…sounds lovely!
hey ,
the chicken from your bowl looks absolutely delish, i was wondering if the recipe was already on your blog ? anyway,i would love to try your lunch combo !
Thank you! I haven’t posted the recipe…basically I threw two chicken breasts into the crockpot with about 1/2 cup of water and some seasonings and let them cook on high until they are easy to shred. Super simple!
Can’t wait for the eggplant recipe! That’s one veggie I don’t eat enough, but I love it.
It’s so good, Megan!! I just have to remember to take those pics!
