Three Things Thursday

Everyone else is doing it, so I am jumping on the bandwagon.

1.  This morning I caught a glimpse of the weather forecast for this Sunday and needless to say I am THRILLED!
Seriously could not be any better....and like I tell all of you that live in chilly, snowy areas around the US...come for a visit to Florida~  (even though truth be told I am completely jealous of everyone with snow!  I miss the change of the seasons the most.  I ran the first 2/3 of my life in a snowy cold climate and before Florida ran in Green Bay, WI for 2 winter!)

2.  Shorts or 3/4 capris?  I am always going back an forth when the temperatures are in the 50's and low 60's which way to go.  I love my 3/4 pants, but don't want to be hot once the sun is shining down.  Thoughts?  I think shorts will win out.


3.  I have been seeing mentions of Green Smoothies and I wanted to chime in.  I DO NOT make green smoothies, but I would if I had a Vita Mix or some amazing commercial grade blender.  In my opinion the blender makes the shake.  Many of my friends drink green smoothies daily and a great friend of mine shared her recipe with me (she uses a Vita Mix)
Green Smoothie Recipe!
1 Cup Vanilla Rice Milk
2 Stems Green Kale
1 Cup baby spinach
1 banana (she freeze them)
1/4 Cup frozen mango's
1/4 Cup frozen strawberries
1-2 Tablespoons hemp protein


I kid you not this thing is AMAZING!  The texture is really creamy and you taste NO green veggies and I would make them daily IF I had the right tools.  


I am off for my last run before taking off for Miami.  Super Excited.  Really Gittery.  Ready to GO!!

  2. SHORTS! And layer a top that you can strip down to practically nothing. Seriously, at Richmond in November we were in Tanks & Skirts, and the high was only 60something.

    My FAVORITE Green Smoothie is one I make when I'm replacing a meal and need something calorie dense and comforting in the summer. Summer comfort food can be hard to accomplish - Avocado and frozen banana... (add a little H20 also). Love it.

  3. Shorts. I would rather be too cold than too hot to start. Good luck!

  4. Hope that run went awesome! I usually wear shorts over 40 degrees. I must be from MN. I even wore shorts in my 30 degree race last March. I would die if I tried to wear Capris in those temps! GOOD LUCK!!!
