Friday Favs

Posted by CheapRunnerMike

Here we are about to wrap up another week, so I've decided to share what I've been digging on this week.

1) Getting Back in the Swing of Things

It's nice to be back into my running routine again…I've been out every day this week and I'm looking forward to a good long run this weekend.  The pace has been quick, maybe even a little quicker than before holidays.  Note the long sleeves, hat and tights in the pic above…yup, cold weather is here.  Leading to…

2) Changes in Latitude, Changes in Attitude

Once the cold weather hits us, it's time to start planning our winter vacation.  Just thinking about getting away is enough to warm me up some days!  This will be just what I need come February.

3) Alex Zanardi, You are an Ironman!

I used to watch a lot of auto racing when I was younger (Indy cars and F1), so I am well aware of Alex Zanardi.  He was a champion driver who suffered a pretty horrific accident, causing him to lose his legs.  He also just took on the Ironman in Kona last month and it will be airing this weekend on NBC.  Can't wait to check it out!

4) Awesome new Clif Bars

I was at the grocery store the other day and noticed a display with a couple of new seasonal Clif Bars…Pecan Pie and Spiced Pumpkin Pie.  I had the Pecan Pie yesterday with my lunch and it was amazing, can't wait to try the Pumpkin Pie today!

5) Disney Dreaming

Still digging the good vibes we picked up at Disney last week…can't wait until we're back there in January for the Marathon!

Have a great weekend folks!

Have you tried these new Clif Bar flavours?  Do you have a fav of your own?

Is it cold and snowy where you are yet?  How do you cope?

    Cold here in Ottawa but I love cold weather running. Did my last half marathon last weekend in 0 degrees and it was perfect. For me the cold is so much easier than the heat!

  6. Love...I don't know if that's the word. I really don't mind it either, it just takes me a few weeks to get back into it. These first few cold weeks can be tough because it isn't quite cold enough for me to wear a jacket and my body is still in summer wimp mode. I'm a winter warrior though...eventually :)

    Pecan Pie Clif bars...sooooo good! You need to try them out...got mine at Superstore where they were on sale 4 for $5
