RooSport Giveaway

Today is Tuesday and according to my scrappy marathon training plan I'm supposed to do mile repeats for my run. I still do not like them at all. Even after I'm done I'm not like, "Yah! I'm so glad I did that!!"

No. I'm more like, "That was unpleasant. I'm glad it's over."

In the grand old race of the tortoise and the hare I am the tortoise.

 Exhibit A: my tortoise friend and I running in Florida last year…IMG_4769 (800x600)

Anyway, I ran 4×1 mile repeats and at one point a jogger guy came running the opposite direction and said, "Nice pace!". That did make me feel better about the whole thing SmileIMG_7589 (800x600)

After my run and a shower I enjoyed a ton of water, watermelon and overnight oats.IMG_7595 (600x800)

In other, less appropriate for the blog news…

My Florida bug bites have left red marks all over me?! It's been over a week now and I think they should be gone by this time. Is there a doctor in the house? Can you please prescribe me some Zoloft and a note to my in-laws that I'm allergic to Florida? Thanks.IMG_7591 (600x800)

RooSport Giveaway

I received this RooSport pouch to review a week ago and have been wearing it on walks. It is a magnetic pouch that has a fold over pocket and zipper pocket. It can carry anything from keys to money to ham sandwiches and is great alternative to a purse or pocket belt for walking and running. roosport pouch

This is how it looks open – you slip it into your waistband and the magnets hold it in place. IMG_7582 (600x800)

Zipper for your important stuff SmileIMG_7583 (800x600)

I have been loving it for my walks since I like to take along cash or a card in case I want to walk to the store (or Sonic). Today I wore it for my run and am a fan. It can hold a lot, but isn't bulky.IMG_7584 (600x800)

ING Class of 2012 Meatless Monday Marathon Meal

Posted: 10 Sep 2012 06:28 PM PDT

Hello! How's your day?

My day was full of conference calls. For some reason everyone wanted to schedule them for today Smile

I recorded some random snacks and thought I'd (over) share…IMG_7566 (800x600)

I'm still as obsessed as ever with chickpeas and was excited to score this sweet chickpea snack from Marshall's the other day.IMG_7568 (600x800)

I've tried to make sweet roasted chickpeas before but I always burn them before I can get them crunchy. These are perfectly crunchy and lightly sweet.IMG_7571 (800x600)

After work I took a walk with SkinnyRunner or SkinnyWalker as the case may be… (This is an old picture because I'm too lazy to open the email with our pics from today. Way to go Monica.)IMG_4921

Today's Meatless Monday recipe is actually a Meatless Monday Marathon Meal (say that 26 times fast)!

This recipe is from my New York Marathon / Redbook Test kitchen adventure – Black Bean and Corn Tostadas with Avocado.

I'm an ambassador for the ING New York City Marathon and there are a ton of great resources for runners on their Facebook page. If you're training for a race this year check it out!

Question: Corn tortilla or Flour tortillas?
