Marathon on my Mind

Since I decided not to run Boston this year I have been in a little bit of a slump since the marathon and am eagerly looking for a fall marathon.  Since I did not get in to the ING New York City Marathon I am on the hunt for another marathon. I was thinking of the Portland Maine Marathon, I ran the half last year and loved it (but if anyone has run the full let me know).

This morning was spent with my BOMF team. We ran to the YMCA outdoor track and got in a great workout, we even had two new resident members at Father Bill's show up. After I left my BOMF team I headed to Marylou's for an iced toasted coconut coffee with soy milk. I had been craving another one since the other day.

After I grabbed my coffee I headed to the gym for a pilates workout on the reformer. As you know I am in the process of getting my full certification for pilates but I still love to have a trainer. A picture of the reformer is below in case some of you are not sure what it looks like. If you haven't tried pilates before I would strongly encourage you to.

After my busy morning I was starving and made myself a quick smoothie before heading to work with vanilla unsweetened almond milk, frozen berries, frozen banana, wheat germ, ground flax seed and protein powder, it hit the spot!

My mid morning snack was an asian pear with some of these new nuts I found by Emerald. They are slightly sweet so they can satisfy my sweet cravings when I get them (which is usually not that often.)
