Awesome weekend!

Hello everyone! I hope that everyone had a fablous 4th of July. I did.

Started yesterday (the 4th) by sleeping in until 9am...unheard of for me! I knew I wanted to run even though it was much later than I normally run on Saturdays so I fueled up with a sesame seed bagel topped with pb and half a banana sliced up. Then I went to feed/walk the little doggies I am watching and came back and headed out for a run. I didn't know how far I wanted to go, it was my last run before marathon trainng started so it was just a fun run. I ended up doing 6.25 miles but it was so hot and humid. My legs were dragging from the workouts I did earlier in the week which was why I cut the run off at about 6 miles.

Later in the day we had my aunt, uncle and cousin over and a few of my friends stopped by for a BBQ. We swam and played pool bball and had some really good eats. I just started eating meat again recently and my hamburger was delicious! I topped it with some guac and had some breaded chicken on the side. For dessert I had a few cookies and a brownie. It was definately a "cheat" day and I did not count calories this weekend.

I ended up going to see an awesome firework display with some friends later on in the night and came home and passed out, being out in the sun all day will tire you out.

Sundays are usually a long run day for me but I decided to skip the run and do a long bike ride instead. I did 24 miles on a trail with a friend and burned about 1200 cals...not bad! I had breakfast before and made myself a 100 cal pita with pb and sliced banana. When I got back I had a big salad topped with hummus and hot sauce, a turkey wrap with laugh cow and a ton of fruit. And a cookie of course. I layed out by the pool all afternoon and swam quite a bit-the pool was 82 degrees! Left for a friends BBQ later and then came home to eat dinner because I am a picky eater and I liked the food at my house better. Had basically a repeat of my salad at lunch with breaded chicken on top and a brownie.

Well tomorrow begins marathon training! I think my plan starts with a rest day. I am going to try and plan out meals for the week that I can make ahead of time or at least make sure I have all the stuff at my house so I can make it quickly...any suggestions on some easy/nutritious meals?

Have a great night:)
