Just the average wildlife I see when I go on runs around here!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it’s Edward Scissor Hands!
Just filing her nails…!?! :mrgreen:
I asked myself, is it possible to be scared of things that are slower than you? Why yes, yes it is.
Let’s rewind a bit!
Breakfast yesterday morning was delicious…
A Green Monster with 1/2 banana, 1 cup Almond milk, 1 scoop Amazing Grass Choco powder, ice, spinach…
and some organic raisin bran with almond milk
Then we were off for a day of shopping at Super Target and the Miramar Outlets in Naples. I got some awesome deals this time!!!
Running gloves, a Nike running workout tank, bright pink sports bra (from Target):
Target has the cutest workout bras in so many colours!
I also finally found a 1.5 Litre Camelbak!!! I can’t wait to try it out. Also got a floral placemat from Target:
A light orange tee and some dish cloths. Random I know! ;)
Eric bought 2 more bags of socks…LOL…What is with him and socks? I think he is 80…
Lunch was a veggie sub from subway and an apple from home.
We got home at 5pm and Eric and I had a snack of Mary’s Crackers and hummus and then we headed out for a run + bike in the lovely sunshine!
I was really excited, albeit a bit scared, to try out my new running sneaks!
Good news:
1) No blister problems at ALL. :mrgreen:
2) I was FAST! I killed my previous time for this 4 mile route by over 5 minutes! These sneakers are so much lighter than my previous Brooks Ariel’s. The old Brooks Ariel’s I was using are 12.3 oz while my new Brooks Adrenaline are just 9.2 oz. I know it doesn’t seem like a lot, but my feet felt 5 pounds lighter! I felt FREE as a bird. With the new sneakers combined with no knee sleeves I am feeling amazing on my runs lately.
Possibly bad news:
1) The sneakers seem to put a lot of pressure on the balls of my feet. I hope that this will go away after a few uses. I wasn’t wearing my orthotics so I am going to try them tomorrow with them to see if that makes the difference.
After the run I quickly got ready for dinner as my parents were taking us out to California Pizza Kitchen. I was in a pizza mood and was hoping a vegan version of their pizza would live up to my expectations…
Eric pretended to drop me after this picture! He likes scaring me. ;)
My mom and I split the chunky white corn guacamole and chips…
I have to recreate this at home! Avocados, white corn, black beans, peppers…not sure what else!
Eric got the garlic cheese bread for an appetizer:
I ordered the Vegetarian Eggplant pizza (without mozzarella) and then I customized it with a thin crust and I added tomatoes and red peppers to bulk it up a bit more. To my delight, this was one of the best vegan pizzas I have ever had. It was LOADED with amazing veggies!
OMG. Off the hook.
I must say, kudos to CPK because after eating their twice now, I am super impressed. Everyone else loved their meals too.
OSGMOM got shrimp tomato spagettini:
I wish I could say that I saved some for tomorrow, but I ate every LAST BITE. It was so good I could not stop eating.
Now I am off to test out my new Camelbak! I can’t get over how light it is and it doesn’t seem to move much. It will be nice to finally have water to drink when I run. I am slightly concerned that I am going to have chafing from the strap around my arms, but hopefully not!
Today’s question: Do you ever see wildlife when you workout outdoors? What do you see?
Off I go!
Have a glowing day :)
Ok, this is random, but I just bought those same dish towels in those exact colors from Target the other day;) Target eats my paychecks:(
oh, and as for your question, I’m in Florida, so I see all kinds of wildlife when I’m out walking or riding my bike. I like to go to this Seminole Lake park and see cute bunnies:)
That guac mold looks so yummy! I love the Champion sports bras from Target. They are SO comfy. I tend to wear them all the time to lounge around, too.
You inspired me to be real selective in purchasing my walking shoes. Maybe I will go to Dick’s Sporting. Need to get good advice. XO
That vegan/vegetarian pizza looks out of control! I’m on vaca too and about to go for a run, let’s see what creatures I see! hope your shoes pain goes away :)
I was wondering if the bread at Subway is vegan? I thought I remembered them telling me it wasnt and although I am not a strict vegan, I usually choose the vegan choice whenever possible.
Just checked Subway’s website cause I was curious too – the 9 Grain Wheat has honey in it, but it looks like the white bread is vegan.

Thanks for checking Elle
Sometimes I’ll see gators! I wonder if you’ll see any? And I’m glad you had no blisters- I’m working through some now!
Looks like you’re having a sweet time in Florida!
Oh Target. You go in for one thing and walk out $100 poorer. That is a crazy turtle!
what a fun day! way to go beating your time by 5 minutes :)
i haven’t seen a TON of wildlife on my runs/walks, but there have been the occasional fox, deer, and crane every now and then!
sometimes i see snakes around here but not big turtles like that! great workouts on vacation :)
Pizza — amazing! I love all of those veggies. That turtle is crazy, scary. Those fingernails! I saw a dead snake on a run a while ago. That was gross!
In western North Carolina I definitely don’t see wildlife like that! But I do have a Target :)
I see more wildlife during the warmer weather here, mainly deer, birds and little critters. Although I have seen some seals on my runs by the ocean.
I love the C9 line at Target, super affordable sports gear! I’ll be curious how the camelback works out, I worry about chaffing with one of those.
I’m a Brooks Adrenaline wearer too! They are great shoes, hopefully you continue to have success with them.
I have those shorts! And that sports bra that you bought is my FAVORITE! I have about eight of them! :-)
I love seeing wildlife on runs…although it does freak me out a little sometimes :-)
That pizza looks so good! I’ve seen some deer before but never anything that exotic!
I rarely go to CPK but will have to try that pizza out! I LOVE their food. I got the moroccan chicken salad there last time and it was the best salad I’ve ever had in my life. EVER! I’ve heard great things about their hummus too.
Oh man! I was just looking at the menu for CPK – looks absolutely amazing, I wish we had one in Canada!!!
And no, unfortunatly I don’t see any great wildlife on my runs…just a squirel here and there…well, I do see dogs, does that count?
Oh my god! Those turtles are insanely huge…LOL. You must feel like Supermario dodging them on your run :) Enjoying your vacation posts. CPK is pretty awesome indeed!!! Have a good day.
I love target’s sports bras! I have at least 5 in different colors.
