Niki's Neverending Adventure

I had a wonderful 7 miler this morning!! I finally broke over the 6 miler mark! Wasn’t sure if this day was ever going to come! Haha. The weather was really nice, not too hot yet since I went out early, cloudy, but it was pretty humid! I drove about 30 minutes from my house to an area with lots of paved trails so I could do my run there. I decided I would try to eat something before my run to see how my tummy did. I had 1/2 slick ww bread and a spread of PB on it about an hour before my run and my tummy seemed to do fine with that! Finally, I found something to eat before my long runs!! My run itself was pretty uneventful, I did have a deer right next to me at one point, like literally and arms length away! It wasn’t even scared! Just stood there and stared at me as I ran by. Too bad I didn’t have my camera. It felt so good to finish these 7 miles! Check out this picture of my ponytail! It was so humid that it just went poof and was in a ball on knots by the time I was finished!!

I took Sadie on a walk when I got home but we had to cut it short because I was starving!! I made the BEST Green Monster to date!!

It had:

1/2 container of blueberry Oikos yougurt

water- didn’t really measure

1 tbsp PB

2 handfuls of spinach

1/2 frozen banana

5-6 frozen mango chunks

I think the mangos really kicked it up a notch! It was the yummiest, smoothest  Green Monster I’ve ever made!!

I have a long day at school today, blah, but then tomorrow am having lunch with my friend/bridesmaid Katie and then heading to Nashville to see Jaime! Can’t wait! Better go start studying!!!
