Good Eats/LuluWHS/and More Local Pretty

I don't know what is going on with the weather here right now, but I am certainly NOT complaining.  It's chilly, but oh so pretty.  Running has my head turned to one side looking at the mountains and just embracing our beautiful skyline.  I don't know if it's because I expect it to rain almost all the time, that everyday it's not downpouring I feel like it's a blessing:)  This past week, I was outside EVERY day at lunch either running, walking or Friday when I left work and headed down to the LuluWHS.



The Lululemon WHS = completion of my moms and my Boston outfit options.  (I may pick us up a short sleeved option if I am able to find one in that "Paris Pink" - I don't know if that is the name of it, but that is what I'm calling it).  I've been on the lookout for the short sleeved shirt for a long time and haven't seen it at the stores, online or at the outlet - so anyone, if you see the short sleeved option before Boston, send me a note please.


I wanted to go back down on Saturday to see Jackie Carr speak about goal setting, but we've had some plans in place that didn't allow for it.  The STAFF at Lulu are some pretty great people that made the event a fantastic shopping experience.  The music was great and so was the rest of the vibe.  For those of you that are able to make it down today (sunday), I hear it's still VERY much worth it.  So  GOOOOOOOO BC Place people!

Boston is about 2.5 months away and I am getting pretty excited to celebrate with my Mom.  Have I mentioned on here how PROUD of her I am?  Turns out the trip is going to be a "Girl's Trip" as my sister and my niece will be joining us as well - So FUN!

Training - well my longest run that I've done since just after my marathon in September is 10 miles.  I'm going to have to step that up a bit in the coming weeks so I am able to complete Boston.

I've registered for my 1st 1/2 marathon which will be March 2nd and I will use that run just to see where I am at.  I really need to stop eating like a "jack-a**" at some point too, otherwise no 1/2 mary goal will be achieved.

Cheers to eating more food like this:

One of our go to faves:
Greens
