Lazy Dinner

by Meghann on January 12, 2010

Over the weekend I had a little present from Kashi waiting in my mailbox for my enjoyment.

The granola bar was from one of their nation wide free sample contains they conduct once a quarter. (Marketing geniuses I tell you!)

I’m sure the adorable box was meant to be opened in a very eloquent way that resulted in the ability to read the Kashi information waiting inside.

Unfortunately I am not that patient.

All I really cared about was the granola bar waiting for me inside anyways. ;)

I’ve actually had the Trail mix bar before and it was nothing new. It was still the yummy and satisfying granola bar I have come to expect from the great people at Kashi. :)

Thanks Kashi for putting on the wonderful campaigns that you do! Feel free to keep sending the nation free samples of your wonderful products!

After work I headed straight to my massage and enjoyed 50 minutes of pampered bliss. My masseuse was great at alleviating most of the tension from my shoulder and working out the kinks in my legs.

Apparently I wasn’t the first Disney marathoner to see her today and she said that my legs were ‘not bad’ for just having run a marathon. If my legs ‘aren’t bad’ then I would hate to be in the shoes of other marathoners out there recovering right now!

I had a few errands to run after the massage. I was tired and cranky when I finally started heading home. All I wanted was to enjoy dinner and a hot cup of tea on my couch.

Thank god Publix is a stone throw away from my apartment. I ran in an quickly grabbed some sushi to go.

Publix sushi was my life saver!

I had about 1/2 of this shoreline combo

And enjoyed every bite of the calamari salad.

This was my first time grabbing the calamari salad and I have to say I think its a new favorite of mine. It was salty, meaty and delicious.

Dessert was a serving of egg nog ice cream and a crumbled candy cane joe-joe on top.

Right now I am working on my race plan for the remaining part of the year. Can you believe I am already antsy to run another marathon?!?! Don’t worry I have some other goals in mind too. ;) Stay tuned tomorrow morning to see what I come up with!

Good night!

Crazy busy

by Meghann on January 12, 2010

Boy, has my day been hectic!

I spent all morning in a meeting and then had to move my desk from side of the building to the other.

At least now I have a window. :)

It will be nice to see what’s going on in the outside world as I’m working. :)

My legs felt a million times better when I woke up this morning, compared to yesterday. I did a 30 minute yoga session in my pajamas and really gave my legs a nice stretch!

My right calf is still feeling really tight, but I’m hoping the massage I have booked for this afternoon will help alleviate that problem.

Since I had the extra time this morning, I decided to make a hot, comforting breakfast.

I had two pieces of french toast that were dipped in a combination of egg whites, milk, chia seeds, and flax seed before they were toasted up in the skillet. I then topped the french toast with warm apples that were heated up with a dollop of pumpkin butter.

Delish!

My morning meeting lasted well past 11:00 and by the time it let out I was starving! I immediately dove into my pre-packed snack of mixed nuts & cereal.

Lunch was a delicious soup and salad combo.

I am still in the process of unpacking my desk and arranging my stuff, then I have a boatload of work to catch up on. Hopefully, I can have everything done before by 5:30 massage!
