Back to the training schedule…I had a run or bike AND a swim to get in today.  I was planning to meet my mom for lunch at Whole Foods, which is right by the pool.  So, I hit the pavement in my running shoes for a 60 minute run (a little over 7 miles).  It was a little chilly and PERFECT running weather.  I came home to rehydrate, refuel (sprouted raisin bread with Swiss and an apple), and then hit the pool.

     

Everything seemed to take a little longer than expected (I was moving slowly after those 7 miles), so I only had time for 15 minutes in the pool.  About 3 laps in, the fire alarm went off…and it was LOUD!  I definitely considered calling it a day and heading to lunch, but the staff said we could stay in the pool.  And although I was tired and a little hungry, I stuck with it and finished my 15 minute swim, with time for 5 minutes to relax in the hot tub.

Then, I met my mom for lunch and fun at Whole Foods.  By fun, I mean exploring, sampling, and buying.  For lunch, we split a 12 grain fresh crab sushi roll and we each grabbed some of our favorites from the salad bars.

     

Check out some of the fun new snacks we found!  I’ll let you know what we think!!!

  

After our adventures in the WF, we met in the parking lot for a food exchange.  I brought my mom some maple AB and vegan zucchini bread, and she had this week’s CSA greens and fresh strawberries.

     

I don’t even know what this one is?!

With the afternoon ahead of me, I’m looking forward to a SYTYCD marathon (I am so far behind I’m still on auditions) and then a fresh green salad for dinner.  Happy Friday!
