This week I wasn’t as busy as last week, so I had the extra time after work to relax and rest. Always a good time! Last night I had a terrible stomach ache. I’m not sure what it was, but something I had yesterday did not work out. I tried the Jelly Belly sport beans during my run and felt fine, and for dinner I had the salad pictured below. After dinner when Bryan got home I had a Philly soft pretzel. Nothing too out of the ordinary, except for the Jelly Belly beans. Have any of you experienced stomach cramping after eating these?
Let’s take a look at my favorites from this past week.
- This salad. The ingredients are: lettuce, 1/2 tomato, 1/2 avocado, goat cheese, and raspberry vinaigrette. It’s basically whatever I had left over in my fridge. I had this salad on Wednesday night and Thursday night. The avocado and the goat cheese makes this salad pretty creamy and I love that it adds a bit of dimension to the salad dressing.
- Getting back in the gym. I know I know that I’ve been saying a million times that I want to get some runs in outside, but by the time I get home and get dressed it is almost dark outside. Because I am not comfortable running in the dark by myself, I just go to the gym. It makes me feel safe and I don’t have to be anxious.
- Taking time for weight training. I mentioned on my post about why I think my training isn’t working that I haven’t been taking time for weights. Some of you commented and said that you don’t do too much weight training while training for a race. It was so nice to hear that, but I know personally that if I want to complete my half without injury, I need to make sure that my legs can carry me the whole way.
- Listening to the Frank Sinatra Pandora Station. I know it’s really random, but for our in-office Halloween happy hour/party I dressed up as Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Frank, Fred Astaire, and Michael Buble got me in the mood while I was getting ready.

I don’t typically listen to music in the morning, but usually have the news on in the background.
Good luck at the Runner’s World race this weekend!
Thanks Erica! I had a great time! We need to have a meetup soon!
I got into a phase where I put pineapple, tofu and eggs on every salad!
