I'm officially registered for the SunTrust Richmond Marathon on November 13th! This will be my 6th marathon :-) I haven't run one since 2007 so I'm extra excited!

I woke this morning and inhaled some Tropical Chia Oats - again. And a BIG ole mug of coffee + steamed almond milk.
Feeling very rejuvenated from yesterday's Bikram Yoga class, I jogged to the gym (10 mins; my warm-up) for a 60 min Spinning class. Fantastic music and heart-PUMPING drills. Love.
In between cleaning and lots of errands I threw together a quick veggie salad with hummus & nutritional yeast dressing:
Spinach, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, cucumbers, and Hummut dressing (2 T hummus, 1 T nutritional yeast, 1 T H20)
*To read about the many benefits of Nutritional Yeast or "noosh", click here.
Craving some additional protein, I made a Peanut Butter and Chocolate Protein Cupcake:
And made dinner to take with me to work:
Trader Joe's Herb Dijon Salmon (added some red pepper flakes) cooked on the stove top served over sauteed spinach (satay in 1 T EVOO, dash sea salt, pepper, drizzle balsamic vinegar)
Although I had to cancel a dinner date with Lauren because I was called into work (we are rescheduling), it was a very exciting shift! I can't wait to be a physician assistant someday :)
Alright, I'm off to read and enjoy a new (simple) snack obsession:
Partially thawed fruit (banana, mango, raspberries)

Tomorrow I have a busy/exciting day that includes:
- 6 mile run
- Volunteering at YMCA as health/wellness coach for middle schoolers
- Date night with The Manfriend <3
