Hope you guys all had a great 4th of July!! It's a little weird having to go back to a regular work day today and yesterday I was dreading it but when I woke up this morning I had no problems getting back at it!<br />
<br />
I ran the <a href="http://www.nycruns.com/" target="_blank">NYCRUNS Firecracker10k</a> yesterday and it was a lot of fun! HOT! But a lot of fun! We made this little video after the race.<br />

So tomorrow Heather and I are starting a 5 day juice cleanse. I have never done a cleanse before but have always wanted to try it so I am going to do an arms workout today and then stick to mostly yoga and stretching during my fast. <br />
<br />
<br />
How was your 4th?<br />

We had such a great weekend over here! Scott took a summer Friday(whole day) and so we decided to head out to the beach. We only lasted about an hour to an hour and a half but it was still fun. We got stuck in a major crazy storm on the way back and because we were not sure when it was going to be over we had to drive through it. We were on the motorcycle so we got soaked!<br />

I am trying to convince the hubs to run the 4th of July 10k on Roosevelt Island but he is just not sure yet. I have never had so much fun just signing up for shorter races before. I used to only sign up for full marathons which are great BUT a lot of training goes into them and right now I just want to run for fun!!<br />
<br />
What races do you have coming up? Anyone gonna be in MN and stop by :)<br />
<br />
Do you prefer longer or shorter races? <br />

I would have to say that mine was pretty good. I had a nice long run on Saturday and while I was out I ran past a farmers market and there were strawberries everywhere!! Has anyone else noticed that they have all of a sudden flooded the markets? I love strawberries but don't eat them too often. After seeing them everywhere I was craving strawberry shortcake so I made my own little version and it was oh so good! <br />

This is my question.... How do you fit all of your workouts into each week? I would like to increase my miles by running four days a week. I would also like to do Tracy Anderson once a week, arms/weights twice a week, bike twice a week and fit in a yoga class! That would be 10 workouts in 7 days which may be easy for some but I don't like to spend more than an hour a day working out unless its my long run. I only have so much time in the morning before I need to start doing other work. Yes I could get up at the crack of dawn but I am not sure I would be very good at that.<br />
<br />
So what do you do? How do you fit it all in??<br />

This past weekend Jenny had to make a quick trip to MN. Sad to say that the reason she came was a sad one but in the rush to get here so booked two one way tickets from Denver to Minneapolis. Which was great for me. Her trip was going to be so short that I wasn't even going to see her but since the mix up we got to spend all day Monday together. And even better we got in a great workout. The city we grew up in has some great sets of stairs. Combine doing a couple sets of each set of stairs along with a few 5 miles it turns into a great workout. Since having the 5th child I have been really trying to get my mileage built back up. And it sure is tough. Love being able to workout with my sisters as much as possible.</div>

Also this week my oldest turned 11. Wow how times flies by... one of her biggest requests for her birthday was to stay up until 11:57.. the time of her birth. So we did and it was late. I was super tired which made me feel very old. She totally loved staying up that late and we had a little celebration.</div>

It was the <a href="http://www.nyrr.org/run-with-us/nyrr-new-york-mini-10k" target="_blank">40th anniversary of the all women's race</a> and I was happy to be a part of it. My goal was that I didn't have one and since I was in the port-a-potty when the gun went off I knew I was just going to have fun. The race was packed! It was hard to pass people even if you wanted to. I came in at 56 mins which was around a 9:10 min pace. I was really happy with myself because I was able to cheer on a ton of women as I was running. It wasn't until the last 800 meters that I decided to go all out and book it to the finish line. (also I really need to go to the bathroom) I looked at my watch in the last bit and I was up to a 7:21 pace and it felt great!<br />
<br />
Here are some of the pix that we got. Scott came with and acted as the photographer for the event. He even threw up a <a href="http://nycmini10k.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">tumblr page</a> which you can check out <a href="http://nycmini10k.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a> for more photos!! Everyone had awesome style for this race, it was great!!<br />

Would you wear bright colored pants ever? Well if you would have asked me this question a year ago I would have said NO WAY but since I colored my hair I have a whole new take on bringing color into my wardrobe. I am in LOVE with these pants. I just got them. My sister Heather found them in MN and sent them to me. I am making her go get me some more colors because they are so comfy and cool.<br />

Ivan is loving our new place and wants to go out and play in the backyard area like every hour. It is kinda driving me nuts because I will be in the middle of working and he will act like he needs to go outside to go to the bathroom but really he just wants to go play fetch. But how can I say no to this face ;)<br />

I decided to run at the gym treadmill so I could watch the Today Show, I am having major withdrawals for anything TV or internet. With our recent move I have been without internet and will continue to be until the 13th! It is really killing me sadly enough. So I got to the gym and they were playing Midnight in Paris in the movie theater so I skipped TV and went straight for the movie. 4 miles on the treadmill and 4 miles on the bike.<br />

This year I was particularly nervous about it because it was going to be just Me(Jen), my Mom and my 6 year old son Peter. Normally there is a slew of us going out there to all spend time together as a family. I was nervous because I wasn't quite sure how I was going to entertain Peter for 4 whole days with no other kids his age anywhere around.<br />

Don't get me wrong. Wyoming is some beautiful country with lots to do, but when you have an extremely high energy child who completes more in a day then most families of 5 it is easy to run out of new ideas for spending time.<br />
<br />
So anywhoo, we went and surprisingly had more then enough to do. Never felt bored once and enjoyed every minute of it!<br />
<br />
I also ended up achieving a small running goal while I was there. Being that I run with a club I rarely ever run alone. I was actually kind of scared to. I have felt that at times I do depend on my running pals too much!<br />
<br />
So I challenged myself this week to just get out the door and run. Not have a plan, or definite miles or pace in mind. I just wanted to get out the door, see how it feels and run from there...alone.<br />
I am happy to report, I did it!<br />
<br />

The miles the first 2 days we are an easy pace. Saturday, I started and felt strong so turned it into a moderate tempo with a massive hill climb in the middle. and then let myself relax and feel good at the turn around point and enjoy the rest of the way home easy.</div>

Heather here... I feel like I haven't blogged forever since I really haven't. I had my fifth baby and so far things are going good. I am feeling good and getting my workouts in. Which has been a total lifesaver for my mental state, as well as getting physically fit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I still am talking to my sisters all the time about what to wear while working out, that looks good too. Let's face it; as a woman you know that when you look good working out, you also just feel better about yourself. Sarah whipped up some skirts for a race that her and Jen did back in Januray. They were a huge hit. Tons of people commented on them and wanted to know where they could get one. At that is when Attica Athletic was born...</div>

We almost didn't make the trip because we were having trouble finding a sitter for Ivan our pup but last minute it all worked out and we headed up Sunday afternoon. Let me just tell you this house was AMAZING!! So beautiful and I am pretty sure we got the best room in the house. We had a walk out that looked over the pool. It was heavenly.<br />

Monday morning I couldn't resist the urge to lace up my running shoes and take an easy jog into town. It is not everyday you get to enjoy the beautiful tree lines blocks and fresh air when you are living in Brooklyn. It was a great little jog, just over 5 miles. But let me tell you it was hot and humid! I was dripping with sweat and I was just taking it easy.<br />

Our friends wanted to try paddle boarding and Scott and I were all about it. Neither of us had done it before so it sounded great. The sun was blistering hot so it was perfect for it. I really needed to work on my tan if you know what I mean.<br />

And while I was in there I decided to take out the pink and add in royal blue with dark grape purple. Best decision I have ever made! I seriously love my hair. I do realize that coloring your hair is something you are supposed to go through when you are a teenager but I never got the chance. I am pretty sure my parents would not have been down with the idea.<br />
<br />
So now that I am older and wiser and more importantly my job allows it (cuz I'm my own boss :)) I have fell in love with dying my hair different colors! My New York Mini 10k is an all female race coming up on June 9th and I feel this is the best look for that race!!<br />

As I was crawling into bed last night at 10:45 my husband Scott had a burst of energy and wanted to go see our friend's band play. They were going on in 10 mins so as much as I was happy to curl under the covers and hit the hay I jumped up threw on my glasses and a sweatshirt and we rode to see their show. They did an awesome job and their EP is coming out soon. When it does I will let you know because they are truley talented and I think a lot of you guys would like their music. It is three sisters with a guy playing an extra guitar and a drum player. They are <a href="https://www.facebook.com/heyannamusic" target="_blank">Hey Anna!</a> Seriously so good! <br />

We got home a little after midnight and I fell asleep around 12:30-1 so instead of hearing my 5 AM alarm I just woke up and am way tired. Need to go get my run on!!<br />
<br />
<br />
This weekend we are packing for our move next week!! Woohoo! And we got invited up to the Hamptons on Sunday night to stay till Monday but if we don't find a pup sitter that won't be happening :(<br />
<br />
How about you guys? Any fun plans for this weekend? Races? Places??<br />
<br />
Will be doing 5 today and most likely 8 tomorrow, that is if it STOPS raining already. Geeze!<br />

It was not a downpour just a lite sprinkle so I went for it. It felt good, I felt good, I felt strong and my legs felt great! I have been thinking a lot about what is next for me with running. As much as I love signing up for marathons I have yet to sign up for my next one and I am not sure why. I want to make sure I am ready especially since I have ran 3 in the last 6 months. I am no miracle runner and like most people my body does better when it has the proper recovery. I really miss logging miles. I go up and down all the time with training. The other day I was talking with my sister Jen and I told her that right now I want to work on getting in more miles before I sign up for my next one. <br />
<br />
So my new goal is get up to 40- 50 miles a week comfortably. Right now I am at about 25 miles so I have a ways to climb. Also I want to do it right so I don't risk injury. Once I am there I will see which race will be next!<br />

I ran 5 miles and I will have to say that it felt pretty good. My shin was annoying me a little but nothing too bad. I usually have a hard time taking a whole week off after a race but I am happy that I did. Totally worth it!<br />

Next up is my Mini 10K in Central Park June 9th. I love this race and its women only :)<br />

I decided since I won't be running this week and I will be recovering from <a href="http://alwaystrainingtrio.blogspot.com/2012/05/long-island-race-report.html" target="_blank">my race</a> I was going to turn off my 5 AM alarm and just wake up naturally. Yesterday was around 6-6:15 and today I slept in till almost 7! It was nice :)<br />
<br />
I also want to say THANK YOU for all the comments post race. I didn't really say it before because I was having post race depression but I really did have a good race! I enjoyed it and I really liked the beautiful scenery. Also 4:05 is a great time and I am happy with the outcome!<br />

Moving on, last night I was able to go to a Q&A with <a href="http://www.tomford.com/" target="_blank">Tom Ford</a>. I am not sure if you know who he is but he is truly an amazing designer! Very inspiring and extremely eloquent and funny. I really enjoyed what he had to say. I wanted to come home and just design new collections all night. There are a few things he said that I really liked. I don't remember them word for word but I will try...<br />
<br />
Being a boss or a creative director it is important to make your employees feel good and feel comfortable so they can contribute their best work.<br />
<br />
Also he said something about when you are looking to hire someone, think to yourself would you like to have dinner with them? If yes then they will make a good team player and your ideas will be compatible with each other.<br />
<br />
Hmmm what else... He loves to hear what everyone thinks then he absorbers it and comes back with his decision but he is very quick.<br />
<br />
I really could go on and on but I will stop myself there. I will see if I can find the interview online somewhere so you can read the whole thing if you are interested.<br />
<br />
Oh and he is a Virgo, so am I :)<br />

I left the house my 6 and drove out to Uniondale in Long Island. It was nice because there was no traffic and it only took 30 mins to get there. I drank a spark in the car and then had some caffeine and advil 15 mins before the race started. Total bathroom trips before it all started was about 5-6 only 2 at the race though. <br />
<br />
The weather was perfect about 55 and overcast. A little humid but not that bad....yet! I really wanted to have a good race. I wanted to start out slow which I did. First three miles were in the 9:30s. It was a really small race. Most of the people where doing the half. So this is how it went down.<br />
<br />
I finished at 4:05 with a 9:26 avg pace. This is obviously for me, slower than I wanted to run this race. But I wasn't expecting much since I only trained for 6 weeks and overall did about 5 speed workouts. I never did my 20 miler and I hadn't logged too many miles. So I am not too disappointed yet. My goal was too have fun with no stopping and I did just that.<br />

Here is the map of the race. By starting off super slow I had trouble picking it up to where I needed to be which in my mind which was between an 8-8:20 pace. I was only coming in around 8:30. I am not sure why but I just couldn't force myself to go faster. I was so afraid of running out of energy too soon that I played it safe. We were with the half marathoners up to mile 10, after that we split off and headed down the freeway. Let me tell you, it got very lonely out there. There were hardly any runners and it was super quite. Not really any spectators. I told myself before the race started no music till mile 15 and so I was counting it down till I got there. It was tough.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found a runner and we began to pace each other, kind of working together. I would follow behind him or vice versa. It worked pretty good until about mile 19-20. He fell off behind and it was back to being just me again. Let me tell you that my soreness hit super early. Mile 13! I am not sure why this happened but it did. I took advil at mile 16 and was really wishing for more at mile 22.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hit my wall at 18, I could feel it come in, my left hand went completely numb and my fingers were freezing. I started to see the darkness set in and because I knew exactly what it was I was able to push through it and over come it. Even though I didn't walk I did slow down and walk through the water stations. It was hot by mid race and the sun, when it was out was a scorcher so I wanted to make sure I drank water at every station. PS the Gatorade chews.... not a good idea. They were super hard to get out of the package and at one point I almost didn't think I was going to get them out to eat. Way too much effort.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From mile 15 on I slowed down even more. My legs were tight and sore. I remember at mile 13 my right foot under my pinky toe was really hurting and then I knew. My compression socks give me blisters and I still continue to wear them. I am not sure why. At mile 19 I began to only think positive thoughts until my race was over. Luckily at mile 23 there were spectators again (but really only for a bit) and the majority of them were at mile 25 until the end. I didn't realize how much specters help in a race. They keep your mind somewhere else especially if you are running alone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was happy to cross the finish line. I went straight to the medical tent to get ice that I could sit on. LOL My butt muscles where super tight. I was tired and ready to go home. I got my finishers bag that had a bagel, banana, apples and orange. I was beginning to feel like I was going to throw up. I focused on putting one foot in front of the other and began to walk to my car and make phone calls. I had no recovery drink and I really really needed one. I lost way more salt that I thought I had. I could see it all over my body and my face. When I showered after I got home I could taste it running off of me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally after finding my car which took a long walk and some asking of directions I got in and headed home. I managed to munch on the bagel and banana. I ran out of water so I was super thirsty.</div>

<br />
I was major dehydrated. I was starting to worry that I was going to have the same issue as Jen did during the goofy and need to get an iv. Scott made me eggs that I could hardly eat. I showered got dressed relaxed a little and I was feeling a little better so we decided to go get some fro-yo in the city. We took the bike and it was super nice and sunny. I started to drink more and more water. Mistake. As we got into the city from Brooklyn I thought I was going to be sick again. I really had to focus on not throwing up.<br />
<br />
We got to 16 handles and I couldn't even get my own. I had to have Scott do it because I did not want to be throwing up in the yogurt shop. I ate my yogurt, sat for a little and was starting to feel better. I actually can't believe how much it helped me feel better. <br />
<br />
By the time we got back home I was starving. This was a good sign so we hung out with the dog for an hour then went and ate dinner. I was craving something juicy and fatty. This burger did the trick. It was so so good!<br />
<br />
I have been drinking Gatorade to help and today I am feeling much better. Still a little tired and sore but much better than yesterday. As I think back now I am bummed that I didn't push myself harder for a better time. I am starting to feel like maybe 4 hours is the best I can do. I should be happy with that but I still want a better time. I want to run a race and have everything go right. I just don't know if that is going to happen for me. My training runs are always stronger than my races. Shouldn't it be the other way around? I want to PR but for some reason I haven't been able to do it. My best time was 3:56 back in AZ.<br />
<br />
I am wondering if I should take some time off from racing? I wanted to plan on running the Twin Cities marathon in Oct but now I am not sure. Am I strong enough? So yes I am sad today. I am tired and I know I will feel better tomorrow so I will decide then.<br />
<br />
Even though I am sad I am happy that I have #6 under my belt. Each one is a learning experience. <br />
<br />
Next up the NYC Women's Mini 10k in June! <br />

Moving on. I am so excited for my race this Sunday and I am not really sure why? Maybe it's because I only trained for 6 weeks or maybe it is because I told myself I am doing this for fun and no pressure. Just to do my best. <br />

I decided to put together a list of Matters of Importance come <a href="http://www.run-li.com/2011/index.php?id=48" target="_blank">race day</a>. The top being the most important and the last been the least but still important.<br />
<br />
1. Get a TAN! (I am so ready for the summer and to get myself a nice tan)<br />
2. Look Good and Run Faster<br />
3. Have Fun<br />
4. Enjoy the scenery<br />
5. Keep a Good and Enjoyable Pace, not too fast but not too slow. <br />
6. Finish Strong<br />
7. Finish Happy<br />
8. Finish Healthy<br />
9. Listen to Good Music <br />
and<br />
10. Get an even better TAN :)<br />
<br />
<br />
This is what I will be wearing, yes I planned this out and tried to match and stuff. I do this because when I look good, I feel good and when I feel good I run stronger and run faster. So I am pretty excited about my outfit :)<br />

And now he has to wear <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=the+cone+of+shame&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=AAg&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=foehT42CA8T40gH4nJSkCQ&ved=0CE0QsAQ&biw=1836&bih=964" target="_blank">the cone of shame</a>. Poor Pup :( Actually that is not entirely true. Because of his body type he can't actually get his head down there to scratch at anything so he doesn't really need to wear it. But I couldn't help myself and made him put it on for at least one picture. hehe<br />

After my post <a href="http://alwaystrainingtrio.blogspot.com/2012/04/eating-before-race.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> I got some ideas of what to eat. Unfortunately I could not find the <a href="http://www.pickybars.com/collections/picky-bars" target="_blank">Picky Bars</a> anywhere. Not even my whole foods. Bummer. But I am gonna try a Lara Bar thanks to <a href="http://bettymeetsjane.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Amber</a> who suggested the Luna bar but I like the <a href="http://www.larabar.com/" target="_blank">Lara bar</a> a little better so I am going to try it out tomorrow. Also picked up some of those <a href="http://www.gatorade.com/default.aspx#gseries?s=prime-performance-chews" target="_blank">Gatorade chews</a> for during the race. If they are anything like Gatorade I am down. Last but not least are my favorites. <a href="http://www.oldtimecandy.com/caramel-creams.htm" target="_blank">Bullseye Candy</a>! Seriously my favorite thing to eat and great for race day.<br />

Killing two birds with one stone I picked up this super yummy pretzel baguette from <a href="http://wholefoodsmarket.com/" target="_blank">Whole Foods</a>. <a href="http://alwaystrainingtrio.blogspot.com/2011/04/shopping.html" target="_blank">Last time</a> I had one of these I remember it being beyond wonderful! So I will be eating this with dinner tonight. That leads to my next question.... What to eat with it?<br />

I realize it is a little early for the sodium filled V8 but I was having a craving so I had to go for it. I will drink another one on Saturday. Want to get me some sodium because it is supposed to get up to 70 and sunny on Sunday.<br />

Today Ivan got fixed :( Poor little dude. I took him in the morning and then picked him up at the end of the day. This was him after. He was so doped up that he didn't know what to do. He couldn't even walk home. He is heavy and so I got two arm workouts in today.<br />

I am thinking about changing up what I eat before my race. I usually eat about 3-4 graham crackers and that is it. I am starting to think that is just not enough. I am always paranoid about what to eat because I don't want to upset my stomach. I know I should have figured this out sooner but oh well. I am thinking a bagel? <br />

One of these <a href="http://www.pickybars.com/collections/picky-bars" target="_blank">Picky Bars</a>. I don't even know where to find one but I just read how <a href="http://skinnyrunner.com/" target="_blank">SR</a> ate one before her race and she is a rock-star so I am hoping it will have the same affect on me hehe. J/k, only kinda :)<br />
<br />
This week<br />
Today- back and biceps<br />
Tom- 6x400 repeats<br />
Wed- legs<br />
Thurs- 5 miles easy<br />
Fri- 3 miles tempo marathon pace (still deciding what this is)<br />

Actually to be honest this week went by pretty fast for me but I am happy this it's Friday non the less. I had great workouts this week, nailed my repeats and tempo. Got in arms and legs and tomorrow I am out to do 10. I don't want to jinx myself but it is a rare find to have such a great workout week and feeling good the whole time. <br />
<br />
Although I will say thank you to my beet juice because without it I don't know that I would be feeling so good. <br />

Question? How do you feel about running skirts? What do you love/hate about them? I used to despise them until I actually wore one for the first time down at<a href="http://alwaystrainingtrio.blogspot.com/2012/01/goofy-or-bust.html" target="_blank"> Disney</a>. I immediately fell in love. This past Saturday for my long run I wore a running skirt again and I felt so good in my skin. I felt girly and stylish instead of hot sweaty and smelly. I felt stronger as a running and I will tell you that a lot more heads turn your way in a skirt which I didn't mind ;) </div>

Running from a scheming redhead intent on making her life miserable.<br />
Running from painful memories that sabotage her dreams of happiness.<br />

I went in to get my hair platinum over the weekend and decided to add a little pink. Just for fun! I mean you gotta live a little right? It eventually washes out which is comforting to my Mother who thinks I am off my rocker.<br />
<br />
That being said I LOVE it and it will be perfect for my<a href="http://www.run-li.com/2011/index.php?id=48" target="_blank"> race in two weeks</a>!<br />
<br />

With two weeks left before my <a href="http://www.run-li.com/2011/index.php?id=48" target="_blank">marathon</a> I really want to focus on eating the right stuff which means oatmeal with almond butter, banana and chia seeds in the morning. Normally I am a toast and almond butter person but its time to start packing in the nutrients.</div>

Later today I am going to be making some Healthy Bites from the <a href="http://www.cottercrunch.com/" target="_blank">Cotter Crunch cookbook</a>! I have been waiting to make these for about 2 weeks because I was waiting to get my favorite protein powder <a href="http://www.musclenog.com/" target="_blank">Muscle Nog</a>. It finally came last weekend so I am all set. <br />

<br />
Today I did 5x 800m repeats at 8.8 speed on the treadmill. I am not really sure how fast that is. I am new to the treadmill thing so I went with something that felt fast but bearable. <br />
<br />
Tomorrow Arms<br />
Wed- 5 mile Tempo<br />
Thurs- 5 easy<br />
Friday- Legs<br />
Sat- 10 miles around 8:30 pace<br />
Sun- Rest :)<br />
<br />
How was your weekend? Ever dye your hair a funky color?<br />
<br />
Happy Monday<br />

It went so well and I am so happy with they way the photos are looking. I am supposed to be keeping it all a secret but I just wanted to share a little. These are just a couple of raw images. I took a picture of the picture with my phone so that is why they are a little grainy.<br />
<br />
Can't wait to show you more!!<br />

<br />
Super tired this morning. Just going to do back and biceps(P90X) and then I am off to get my hair done. Blonde! I am pretty excited about it.<br />
<br />
Any fun plans for the weekend? Besides my hair I plan on enjoying the nice weather and relaxing. Also thinking about getting a spray tan?<br />
<br />
Do you spray tan or do you think it's lame? I don't really get them that often, actually almost never but with my new blonde hair I feel like I should be tanner?<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend!<br />

I got the idea from a <a href="http://www.hungryrunnergirl.com/2012/04/somebody-come-rescue-us.html" target="_blank">POST</a> that <a href="http://www.hungryrunnergirl.com/" target="_blank">Hungry Runner Girl</a> wrote. It was in a magazine clip. It said to blend fruit with seltzer water. I was thinking what a great idea. So this is how I did it.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Washed the fruits.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn9szcYOziv3r2xLD_vhJt7Mg3kwBQ2xPIAfvmYM7jzKxxNLuGNGySFL1IA-zGe42azDtk_UCdB5bQeoenOC_L2_g6smCjh3pfw56v0AdlClSzlhRrqfZccaQMt3fJK1FKUaOH105YsoA/s1600/IMG_5749.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn9szcYOziv3r2xLD_vhJt7Mg3kwBQ2xPIAfvmYM7jzKxxNLuGNGySFL1IA-zGe42azDtk_UCdB5bQeoenOC_L2_g6smCjh3pfw56v0AdlClSzlhRrqfZccaQMt3fJK1FKUaOH105YsoA/s640/IMG_5749.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Throw it all in the blender and add seltzer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
And Voila! Your very own real fruit seltzer drink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I would have to say it was pretty good. I will be making this again with all different kinds of fruit.<br />
<br />
Off to do my 5 miler. How about you? Running or Cross training day?<br />
