Half Marathon behind me...Moving on...Lurong anyone??? I must be crazy!!!!

One of  my smaller non bloody blisters

Repping the Granny Tag

So Happy to see my sweet kiddos at the finish

Well? Its done!!! The half marathon that I allowed to be the bain of my existence for the past 2 months is behind me. Happy ..OH SO HAPPY that I PR'd but sad that I didn't get that sub 2 that I wanted so badly- (less than 2 hours) I will get it next time. I will be doing this again next year. I will just post the pics one more time. I finished 2:05 which is a 4 minute pr but not quite good enough. I will get it next time. Just want to share a small sample of one of the SMALL blister that I managed to achieve...GROSS!!!

Scarlet always has Grannys back!

I cant even began to explain how happy I was that Kolbs, Jenna and Sweet Scarlet were there to greet me at the finish!!! Best day ever!!




After my half my baby bro Matt prompted me to head over to Wasatch Chill Zone for muscle recovery. I was hurting I am not going to lie- I am still sore today but I think that I have no idea how wrecked I would have been had I not done this. Much thanks to my baby bro Matty who made sure I was well taken care of. I love this and I will be doing it more often!!!

RICE-rest ice elevation compression...and Football...

I am going right from the Half Marathon into the Lurong Challenge. I wish I could explain the details but that would be far too many words. It will be a mad combo of WODS and clean eating challenges. My goal??? is to just get back to where I was before I allowed stress to overcome my common sense!! And damnit-I kind of want to win a prize if I can. I love the cause and I love that its really just going to help me in the end. 
So I am starting off strong with good shiz. 

 Here is what I picked up at Costco-Power Greens- love these for salads and in place of boring spinach for bfast-brussel sprouts- cauliflower-broccolettes (going to bake this with avocado oil and garlic and top with a fried egg...makes me have good memories of the Farmstead) strawberries- salmon and rotisserie chicken.




For the Salmon i decided to top it with a bit of Fage greek yogurt mixed with juice of 3 limes and dill- I seasoned the salmon with greek seasoning - salt and pepper- I saved the extra greek sauce to dip- make sure to see if yogurt is legal...I failed to do that :( sure tastes amazing.







I also made sure I had bacon and eggs...this is my absolute favorite way to cook them. If I get desperate and I have bacon and eggs close at hand I always manage to get through somehow!!

In addition to having the fish and rotisserie chicken on hand I also made some meatballs- I have been blending my turkey with ground chicken- added basil- onion- kalmata olives- greek seasoning-cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes- Odd combo I know but so delicious

I have been making my meatballs a little bigger so I only have to pack 2.







I just add the Kirkland brand marinara- pretty much the best and cleanest out there that I have found. It is a little bland on seasoning so I just add a little of my own. 

My blog posts aren't complete without 2 things. My favorite pic of Scarlet for the week...

Do not let the innocence of this picture fool you..this little one is  FIESTY!!

And...something a little more lighthearted...this is very much me!!!

Here's to a GREAT week!! Good luck to all my fellow Lurong challengers...Lets do this!! we can only get better!!!
