This morning I woke early (for once!) and headed out for a 5-mile run as the sun was coming up....
Perdyy but muddy...
Ravishing after the run, I made a Green Monster in the spirit of St. Patty's Day:
^1 small frozen nanner, ~1/2 cup frozen raspberries, 1 scoop Sun Warrior Vanilla Protein, 2 tsp Sun Warrior Greens (see below), 1 tsp flax seed oil, 1 cup spinach...Crazy how good this tastes!
New greens:
^LOVE em!
And here's some workout motivation for the day:
^Saw these two ladies trail running the morning! Did you know there's a 70+ age category in the Boston Marathon???
Have a great day!
QUESTION: Any St. Patty's plans??? And do you use Twitter??? I do :-) Add me and let's chat
xx, Laur
Wow, I love seeing older people running...it gives me hope for an active lifestyle when I'm that age!! No plans for me, hope you have a good one though!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Sunrise! I love a brisk am workout.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to run a marathon, but I just don't think I can. I know that's defeatist thinking... but seriously... it seems so hard! I like doing my 45 min of the elliptical each day... and sometimes... THAT seems like too much!! =) Maybe one of these days...
ReplyDeleteOh, that trail was muddy....glad you had a nice run though!
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patty's Day!
xoxo
What a great scenery to run!
ReplyDeleteawesome scenery! you are from boston?! YAY! i am too, still live here and love it, but DC is great too :) I love seeing older pepople workout, I hope that's me someday!
ReplyDeletehahah i LOVE THE OLD LADIES! that is awesome!
ReplyDeleteyour green monstaaa sounds delish girl!
What a beautiful place to run! And those women are inspiring. I hope I'm that awesome when I'm old.
ReplyDeleteI live in Annandale. We just had a Northern Virginia blogger meetup and it was mad fun and I think we should do another one downtown and have DC bloggers too!
ReplyDeleteAwww I think it's so great that women that age are still active!!! I hope to be like that when i'm older!
ReplyDeletei love the outdoor pics, so pretty! and even better is there are 85 yr old women yogis who are beautiful and poised and inspire me!
ReplyDeleteYour run along the river looks pretty! And I love when I see old people running; saw a man yesterday who chatted with me. Twas adorable! I legit am half Irish but never remember to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, oddly enough!
ReplyDeleteYour morning run looks beautiful! I'm jealous! I wish I had somewhere that pretty to run near me. For me it's the gym and treadmill LOL
ReplyDeleteHey Lauren! I just stumbled across your blog...and I'm glad I did!! :) Wow those older women are amazing. They are a perfect example that health and fitness should be a lifelong journey.
ReplyDeletewhat an AMAZING start to the day!! I am LOVING the GREEN blend! I hope your night was equally awesome :)
ReplyDeletexoxo!!
@Veggielady4life I think working out on any machine (and not outside) for 45 mins feels like too much! I get bored so fast!
ReplyDelete@Lele Meee too!
ReplyDelete@Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) That's incredible! Esp considering mainstream yoga hasn't been in the US for that long.
ReplyDeletelove your photos! the beautiful scenery makes up for the mud ;)
ReplyDeleteLauren, come by and see me please I have a surprise for you!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Good luck in your 1/2 this weekend girl - you will rock it! xoxo.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Those two "spring chickens" are definitely setting a high (but definitely doable) bar for us!
Have fun on your run! I love looking at your pics because I doubt I will ever visit DC..and you make it look so pretty! If I'm MIA I'm at my parents again, my Dad's not doing so well, and I knew I needed to fly home again. Will try to check in like normal, though!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck! ((Hugs))!
