Friday Favorites!

Happy Friday! It's an especially happy Friday for me--I'm off work until May 5th! ;) Not to mention the weather is going got be absolutely beautiful today. Can't beat that!

Time for another addition of Friday Favorites!

Linking up with Heather, Clare, & Jill today. 

1. First thing on my list this week? The Boston Marathon, of course. I've been so obsessed with reading race recaps, pictures, stories... all of it! As a runner, this is of COURSE my dream race but I'm more determined than EVER to get there now. I guess I better actually RUN a marathon first, right? ha. I've had a lot of people ask me if I'm going to try and BQ when I run Richmond in November but honestly, for my first, I'm just hoping to get out there and a) finish and b) maybe, potentially, possibly get it in under 4 hours?



2. The Big Bang Theory. This is absolutely nothing new but I'm so obsessed with this show. It's slightly ridiculous. I have no idea what's going on in the newest season (I've always been at LEAST one season behind) but every other season out there? I've seen some episodes at LEAST 10 times.



3. Louisville this weekend! Obviously I have the race tomorrow (weather is going to be terrible for the race.. ugh) but I get to see my family AND go to Trader Joe's/ Whole Foods! Do you know what it's like to live somewhere where the closest Whole Foods/TJ's is 2 1/2 hours away? Terrible, that's what it is. ha. I plan on stocking up on many of my favorites before I leave on Sunday. (PB Cookie Larabars anyone?!?!)

4. Seeing progress from lifting! I've made it very clear that I'm not the biggest fan of lifting but I've started incorporating it more and more into my routine and I'm definitely starting to see results. I've focused a lot more on my core in the last month and can tell it's made a huge difference in my running. I don't quite have a 6 pack yet (ha) but maybe one day. ;) 


5.  Absolutely everything about this recipe. Pancakes + Funfetti = BEST IDEA EVER. Peter's birthday is coming up next weekend and even though I'll be in Florida (whoops), I think I may have to make it for him.

Now, it's time to go pack for Louisville! I'll be back on Monday with my race recap! Think happy thoughts for no rain!

    Your arms look great!

    And I love Big Bang too. I don't watch them in order at all. It's great no matter which episode you get!

    Soo... I live under a rock and have never been to Trader Joe's OR Whole Foods. I think the nearest one is maybe 5 hours from here? Everyone raves about those two stores so I should put it on my bucket list to go there someday!

    You are going to rock training for your first full marathon and don't put it out of your mind that you won't run a BQ! You never know what can happen :) Train well, run hard but have fun most importantly! I qualified for Boston before I knew what the qualifying time was (new runner... who lived under a rock back then, too). It was a great surprise!

      Whole Foods & Trader Joe's are so fun! You definitely have to check them out next time you're near one! Even if you don't buy anything, it's just fun to walk around! Or maybe I'm just weird and like walking around grocery stores, ha!

      And thank you! I'd love to BQ so we'll see what happens come November! I'm so nervous but definitely looking forward to it!!

    Check out those guns! I'm sure you'll get to Boston when you're ready- I don't know that I will haha, I can't imagine running fast enough to BQ for a whole marathon! And I would hate it if I lived more than a block or two from Whole Foods, Starbucks or Panera. I refuse to move somewhere without those three things. Period.

      thank you! and shew, I wish I lived that close to a Whole Foods or Trader Joe's! I have to do most of my grocery shopping at Wal-Mart. ha. -__- And I'd kill to have a Panera!! My favorite "fast" food restaurant.
