Hey! TGIF! I hope you had a great week! This week was crazy over here with a broken bone scare with my daughter - she was playing and fell on her arm the wrong way.

It's common with small kids under age 6 where bones can basically easily disclocate. Super painful but easy to fix so we were able to get her back to normal and feeling good again. So Wednesday was crazy needless to say - which made me even more thankful for my weekly meal plan. Even with the stresses of the day I was able to stick to the plan and we had a delicious meal, and I stayed on track with my macros. Win win! Here's what's new on the blog this week: New Posts

Today we're waking up in Minnesota to a ton of snow. Not only that, but this is just storm 1 of 3 that's about to hit us this weekend. So it's looking like my 14 mile long run on Sunday is going to be a treadmill run. Before we got all this snow I looked ahead for the forecast and knew I'd be craving ALL the comfort foods so...
Hey Reader I've really been getting into podcasts lately. It's actually been one of the tools I use to slow down on my runs - music gets me running way too fast, so for easy runs I'll pop on a podcast to do my steady easy run. Anyway - yesterday I was listening to a podcast with the Iron Cowboy. If you're not familiar with him, this guy is insane - he did 50 Ironman races in 50 consecutive days, then most recently completed 101 Ironman races in 101 days. He's the inspiration behind Andy...
