Friday Favorites!

How's every one's week been going? I feel like mine went by super fast...but I'm not complaining because its FRIDAY!

 Despite not working out and being on vacation eating patterns, I have managed to lose 2 lbs this week? how in the world that happened...couldn't tell you! But I'll take it! Starting Monday though...it's back to the training schedule! Here's some of my favorite finds/happenings this week!

1. Momma's dessert creation

Momma texted me this gross picture on Thurs night and told me " I know it looks gross, but its SOO good!" It's cut up pineapple, blackberries, strawberries, cool whip, and fresh mint. It's very simple but taste delish. and it's perfect for a dessert on a summer night.I tried it last night and it was sooo yummy. the fresh mint and pineapple bite was mom and I's fav :)

Here's my mint plant! I love putting it in iced tea in the summer.

2. Hot Chocolate 15K/5K in Chicago



I've officially registered for the 15K in Chicago! I'm going to be racing with one of my best friends who lives up there and I'm SO excited! It will be in Nov, but I actually love running the cold....or at least the cold in the south. and get this...it's sponsored by Ghirardelli!! The after race party includes a delicious hot chocolate with tons of whip cream, chocolate fondue station, on other tasty chocolate samples. Now that's something i'll run for!  Also it has great swag! Instead of a bunch of free samples and a t-shirt, they are giving away these pretty things... a tech. hoodie!

3.  Pretty flowers!

I just can't get enough of all these pretty flowers so far this year! These are some that I planted in my container out back and they are just starting to bloom. I really think flowers make a huge difference in my mood!

Have you signed up early for any Fall/Winter races yet?
