Weekend Adventures

Breakfast + Brunch

Hi friends! It’s a gorgeous morning and I’m coming to you from our porch, where I’ve set up shop with my laptop. Working from home can get pretty lonely sometimes, but it certainly does have its perks, not gonna lie.

As for the weekend, one of the highlights, as usual, was OutRun, my fave running boot camp through Urban Athletic Club (<—coupon code in that post). For this weekend’s adventure, we hit the trails!

P6050006

Matt came to OutRun this weekend too, which was especially fun since he basically had to work the whole rest of the weekend (he’s in grad school right now and still working full time) – womp, womp. Big bummer for him, obviously, but also selfishly for me because it was lovely out all weekend and I really wanted to go on some fun adventures with him! We’re counting the days til his grad program is done – only about a month and a half to go.

P6050005

Anyway! OutRun, as usual, was a fun mix of running and boot camp exercises. We spent most of the time back in the (very hilly – oof!) trails in Georgetown – hard to believe these gorgeous wooded areas are right in the middle of the city!

P6050001

P6050003

We had a small but fun crew – go team! My friend Karen joined for the first time, and she loved it as well! 🙂

P6050012

Matt and I were both starved by the time we got home, so he whipped us up a brunch feast. As usual, he served me about 10x the amount of food I could eat, lol. Boys! Biggest plate of eggs ever. This photo doesn’t even truly do justice just how many eggs were on my plate.

I also had an unpictured latte, obviously.

Since I have the Seattle Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon (<—recap from last year – which I’ll be re-reading a lot leading up to this weekend!) coming up on Saturday (so excited!!), I asked my coaches if OutRun + another short, casual run could count as my final “long” run, and they were cool with it. Yay taper! I met up with my friend Ashley on Sunday morning to do a few more miles. To mix it up, I headed out her way and we met in Vienna to do our run on the W&OD trail.

There was a bike race/fundraiser going on, which is why there are a thousand bikes and a little tent set up behind us, in case you are wondering. 🙂

The miles flew by thanks to nonstop chatter. Always love a good run with a good friend. Good for the soul! 🙂

I didn’t even realize that we were running quite quickly because we were too busy talking!

When I got home, I repurposed Saturday morning’s egg and veggie scramble leftovers into wraps for me and Matt. I used a sprouted grain wrap and tossed some avocado and hot sauce (chili garlic Cholula = the best) in them, too. Wrapped in foil because it made them easier to eat so they didn’t fall apart!

IMG_8037

Yum, yum! Hit the spot. I had an unpictured green juice on the side, too – I snagged it at Whole Foods in Vienna to enjoy on my drive home.

I will leave you with this awesome photo of Zara’s new favorite sleeping spot. She smushes herself into the open windows pressed up to the screen. I have no idea how this is comfortable.

IMG_8040

Lol! Too cute. (That bird thingy right behind her is part of our little herb box – more on that later this week!)

IMG_8041

Have a nice day, friends! I’m supposed to have a fun water adventure tonight – fingers crossed the weather holds! It’s looking like it might storm later this afternoon…

What fitness or food adventures did you have this weekend?

    What a fun trail run! The pictures are awesome. My fitness adventures were fairly simple this weekend. I was a little under the weather so light cardio and some weights felt about right.

      We decided to hold off on getting another cat for now... worried it would be really hard to introduce another one since she's been solo for so long now. She's simmered a lot on the nighttime craziness, too, which has helped! Not sure why - maybe because we haven't had our bedroom window open anymore overnight? The birds tend to rile her up. :)

        I think cats just go through mood swings sometimes... My cat was nutty for about a month right when the weather started getting warmer!

    Anne, what a gorgeous spot for a run! Everything is so lush and green compared to dry California. So jealous! Love the idea of repurposing the egg scramble! I have to admit that leftover scrambled eggs kind of weird me how -- how long are they good to still eat?

    I love that trail. I used to live right near it so I would always hop on. It's great bc the scenery is so different too depending on where you start.

    Looks like a gorgeous area for a trail run! My cat does the same exact thing during the summer! We always have to be careful if the screens are ever out. ;)

    I really need to try Outrun some time - I have another friend that used to go a lot and she really loved it. Good luck this weekend in Seattle! What's the weather supposed to be like for race day?

    I never would have thought to put eggs and avocados together, but now that I think about it, it sounds like a great combination. I'm going to have to try that.

    I tried your tuna/avocado/dijon combo for lunch today. Not gonna lie…I was a little skeptical about the flavor combo…but it was delicious! I had it with some grape tomatoes (and leftover broccoli from last night's dinner) and some crackers for scooping. I'm going to have to remember this one because it was tasty and so easy!!

    Hi Anne. I went to Wanderlust Snowshoe in WV this weekend with one of my best friends (she had never done yoga before). We both really enjoyed the experience and highly recommend it to anyone, new or experienced yogis. We went to different kinds of yoga classes with great teachers from all over the U.S. When we weren't at Wanderlust activities, we were out hiking all over the mountain or swimming in the heated spring-fed pool with gorgeous views in all directions.
