One of the many reasons I’m looking forward to spring is because my laundry will go down dramatically when it gets warm! My husband and I are both runners, so you can only imagine the dirty laundry we go through, just counting our running clothes. I can’t wait for shorts, short sleeved shirts, and singlets! Who’s with me?
This morning I had a GREAT morning workout lifting weights focusing on my core and balance. Since I didn’t do any cardio, I decided to go for a walk this afternoon. While out I saw these gorgeous jonquils at the entrance to our neighborhood. I also saw bluebirds and robins. 🙂
On my way home from the gym, I saw this car parked beside mine. I never thought I’d be jealous of a car’s eyelashes! Do you think they’re false?
Our carbo-loading dinner tonight was penne pasta with marinara sauce, roasted asparagus, and a spinach salad. I’m sure you’ve guessed by now that roasted asparagus is my favorite veggie!
Yes, of course I have an asparagus plate! I have a corn-on-the-cob one, too. Thank you, “Tarchet!”
- Questions:
- Have you ever tried sport detergent for your stinky running clothes?
- Have you seen any flowers blooming yet (cold weather friends only)?
- Do you carbo-load before your long runs?
I don’t use special detergent, but if a load is particularly stinky, I just add in extra soap. Seems to do the trick so far? Summer might be another story…
I’ve definitely been seeing a lot of buds starting to show up on the trees!! I can’t WAIT for the Cherry Blossoms – it will be my first time in DC during actual peak!
I don’t generally carbo load. I do always treat myself on days before big runs or races – we rarely eat out, so it’s like a whole extra special day of eating whatever I want! Last night we had Subway to keep it digestive friendly, ha.
How did your race go? I guess I should pop over to your blog to see if you’ve posted a race recap yet!
Yes! I cannot wait for warmer weather so that the amount of laundry decreases. My husband and I both run, and his job is also outside so winter/cold weather= a ton of laundry.
We have daffodils in front of our house that got tricked into blooming a few weeks ago when it warmed up. Now they are dead :-/
The eyelashes on that car are hilarious! Can you imagine looking in your rearview mirror and seeing that behind you on the interstate?? It reminds me of that movie Cars.
I carbo-load before long runs, but mainly because I know that that will work in my stomach for a morning of long running/racing. But I tailor the amount of pasta to the distance of the run. We’re not talking a huge plate of spaghetti every Friday night 🙂
