New Favorite Item, This Was Fun, Wedding Updates, Do You Take The Time?

I recently purchased my new favorite item EVER and it was only $14. No, not running-related, but definitely POST running related! I got this amazing sweater/pullover at Target on sale and I love it. It looks super similar to one that I’d been eyeing at Prana for years, but about 1/4 of the cost! Also don’t mind my getto headphones- I pop them on to cook when Alex is still working in his office.

I made the most amazing and favorite dinner right now- brown rice (cooked a giant batch), Run Fast Eat Slow Runner’s High Peanut Sauce (made a giant batch), with sauteed veggies/tempeh and a drizzle of siracha on top. SO GOOD.

I took the time yesterday to not run and instead bike for 30 minutes and get my strength work in. I did a super slushy/snowy run on Monday and think it was too much for my achilles (it was a bit achy Monday night), so I took the time to take the day off and rest/ice/stretch. Do you ever take the time off to help your body recover better and prevent injury?

I’m also LOVING swimming right now. I went on Sunday and will be going again this afternoon! I love how it helps ‘flush’ out my legs post run and I also get a bit of a workout in there too. I’m convinced that swimmers are in fantastic shape because 10 minutes for me = heavy breathing!

Currently reading these two books for the new year! I’m trying to get both of them read before I begin classes in less than 2 weeks. Think I can do it?!?

We taste-tested our potential wedding dinners (we ended up changing one item) and it was amazing. So SO delicious and cannot wait for June to come soon enough!
