Hi. Hey. Hola. Sup? Hope your weekend was just peachy (well if we’re trying to be in-season I guess apple-y is more appropriate but that’s not really a thing).
I’ve been seeing tons of race pics blowin up my Instagram and I love it! Congrats if you’ve been racing or training. Part of me is a little sad I’m not training for another half marathon this fall, but the other half is excited to work on more strength training. I fall in and out of love with running a lot.
Currently, running and I aren’t really talking much, maybe a text once in a while… ok this metaphor has gone too far, but you get it. Guns not runs…. for right now.

Speaking of guns, I signed up for a new gym! This might be old news if you read my WIAW post, but I ditched the Planet Fitness (a little too simple, a few too many creepers) and joined a Retro Fitness (covered in horrible graphic design, but the staff are delightful and there’s tons of awesome equipment.)
On top of that, I actually signed up for a personal trainer! Looking forward to really stepping it up a notch. When I told him my goals were to get stronger and that I didn’t care about how much I weighed he was super confused. I guess that’s not normal for a girl. Guess my new single “Girls Just Wanna Have Guns” isn’t going to be a hit after all. #BadFitnessPuns
Food
Learn to make an epic smoothie bowl… and pronounce the word açaí (full disclosure I looked it up on Youtube)
Oops I made another recipe with ginger… you mad? But seriously, this smoothie is like a sweet sip of sunshine (for those mornings when it’s still flippin’ dark when you wake up)
The combination of sweet delicata squash, crunchy almonds and crisp Nashi pears #pefecto!
Life Lately {in Pictures}
Nellie visited Jersey, then we escaped to NYC… and Russia?
Popped into the Met for a little artsy action, and had to pose with this guy

Guns not runs hahha YES um so me every day. Good for you for signing up for a personal trainer…. I always see them at the gym telling their clients to “come on” and “just 10 more” and I think good thing they’re not talking to me ahhah glad you had a great weekend and thanks for sharing my smoothie!
