Good morning and Happy Labor Day!
This morning began with these shoes. Not only is it Labor Day, but it’s also the beginning of my training for the St. Jude Half Marathon!! I will be running with my Mom on December 1st in the Memphis St. Jude Marathon!
Training will be difficult…this morning already was. I just have to remind myself that I love exercising. And refueling.
Upon walking in the door, I needed some nutrition FAST. This smoothie isn’t exactly pretty, but it tastes like a milkshake.
In the blender:
1 scoop chocolate Juice Plus Complete (plant based protein powder)
1 TB almond butter
1/2 banana
handful ice
Almond milk
Today was 3 miles in 30 minutes and tomorrow will be a crosstraining day. Just a heads up that I will be reporting to you all here at TFG to keep myself accountable! But don’t worry– I won’t forget about the food! The rest of my Labor Day will be spent hanging out with my fiance doing whatever we feel like! What will you be doing?
Bon Appetit,
That Foodie Girl
I’m training for St. Jude too. I look forward to following your blog for the next 12 weeks. Happy running! I think I’ll get some good food ideas from you from the looks of that shake.
Thanks so much for reading and for reaching out to me! We can train together through my blog
Hopefully I’ll provide you with some good ideas…are you following a specific training plan?
