Flag Cheese Tray and Marathon Training Week 7

Hello! How are you? What are you running? What are you eating? I’m wrapping up a week 7 of marathon training. It was a rough week because I had some stomach issues that kept me from fueling properly before and after my runs. Boo. But, it happens. I really need to review what I’ve been eating to figure it out.

Marathon Training Week 7

Sunday – 21 Day Fix hard core

Monday – 8 mile run and 21 day fix cardio

Tuesday – 7 miles with 5 at tempo <- this was a really hard run for me. I felt like I was at an 8 on the effort level just to keep a good pace.

Wednesday – 4 miles easy and 21 day upper fix

Thursday – I have no idea. 8 miles! I looked it up on my new Garmin running watch. Boom.

Friday – 8 miles and stretching

Saturday – 11 miles <- had stomach issues in the morning before my run. It lasted all day and I can’t figure out the cause.

Pink Drink

Have you tried the Starbucks Pink Drink yet? I keep seeing it all over Instagram and finally got one yesterday.

How to order a pink drink: Ask (nicely) for a Strawberry Acai Refresher and ask for coconut milk instead of water.

This morning while Vegas slept in Ben and I went for coffee and a croissant. Actually I got an iced tea because my stomach still felt off. Me skip iced coffee?! That’s how you know something’s wrong!

While I ran and ate and did other blog things Vegas slept, per usual.

I usually make a flag cake for Fourth of July but wanted to try something different this year. This morning I did a test run with making a cheese plate in the form of a flag. It was so much easier than a cake! The ‘stars’ are olives in hummus.
