My Saturday Five. [2/11/12]

i love saturdays because i get to write another installment of my weekend countdowns! you can check out the past two here and here.

these posts are so much fun! they're a mix of random and organized and i'm definitely a fan. :) 

5 Random Eats
trader joe's sea salt & turbinado sugar dark chocolate covered almonds - i'm addicted! if there's a TJ's near you, go buy these. now. you'll thank me later. 

egg white scramble with onion, broccoli, and sharp 2% cheddar cheese. i ended up drizzling this in ketchup because eggs without ketchup is like oatmeal without nut butter, in my book. i can't eat one without the other! 

spoonfuls of Justin's maple almond butter. i can't get enough!

a peanut butter and apple butter sandwich. i was craving one for dinner a few nights ago and just went with it! 

plain chobani with apple butter, strawberries, and a crumbled oat bran muffin. 

4 Track Runs/Workouts of the Week 
I'm not writing a weekly recap for track this week because my goals post basically summed it up, but I wanted to share the runs that I went on! 
  • Monday: 5 mile easy run + 6 strides (2 sets of 3 easy/medium/fast) + core/stretching
  • Tuesday: none - I had an orthodontist appointment to get a new retainer :(
  • Wednesday: 5.5 mile easy run + core/stretching
  • Thursday: track workout:
    • 2 lap warmup
    • 6x200 fast
    • 1 mile easy 
    • 4x200 fast
    • 3 lap cooldown
    • core + stretching
  • Friday: 4 mile easy run to stretch out the legs. the speed workout from thursday left the backs of my thighs and calves suppeerrr tight! I stretched but didn't do core, but i did core 3/4 days this week which is definitely progress!

1 Awesome New Pair of Shoes Currently in the Mail

These Nike Lunarglide+ 3's! I currently have a pair that I LOVE but I've had them since cross country season and it's time for some new ones. I'm also kinda super pumped about the color of these babies!
