Mocha Monday

I've been making the same smoothie like 3 times a week for a lil while now & have yet to share it. Oops!

Mocha Berry Green Monster
1 cup soy milk
1 cup-ish frozen mixed berries
handful spinach
1 Tbsp instant coffee
1 scoop Chocolate Whey Protein Powder

mix & blend.  (sometimes I throw a few ice cubes in)
serve in wine glass if you're feelin schmancy.  so good.
the coffee in this was exactly what I needed this morning.
Mondays struggle. especially the Monday before a long weekend & I'm soo looking forward to 4 full days at the Cape. Hoping for lots of sun!

Now that we're approaching July, I'm assuming its going to start getting hot. (maybe soon?) so I'm trying to transition my runs to the morning. Tomorrow will be the test.  Think I can do it?

weekend recap

Sunday, I had the pleasure of attending the Inaugural David D. Main Memorial Golf Tournament.
The rain stopped just in time for an afternoon of great golf & great people.  
Huge success!

Just a few of the many photos of the day



Saturday, I ran the CapeAbilities 5K. 

gooood morning. i'm sleepy but exciiited

Let's just say it was a phenomenal first race.  I was worried about pacing myself - since I really don't and I have no idea how face I run once I get off the treadmill.

I'm pretty sure I run slow. I was thinking it would take me around 33 min, figuring just over 10 min miles. I was thrilled when I got to the finish & realized.  

28:35

I felt like rockstar for the rest of the weekend :)   (ill spare you the after photo. smiled so hard I practically strained my neck muscles. fail. need to stop doing that)

Race 2 only a few weeks away

and on Friday - I made my first green monster. 

spinach

frozen berry blend - strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries

unsweetened applesauce

chocolate whey protein powder

almond milk

vanilla extract

ice

DELICIOUS

getting hooked on smoothies. get ready for it. 



hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and painless monday.   1 day closer to the weekend!!
