Mornings, Motivation & Marathons

Mornings, Motivation & Marathons

Anne Ciccio May 10, 2020 0

The Week That Was – Mornings, Motivation and Marathons. Another week of quarantine life and thoughts while running solo.

Primary Sidebar

WELCOME!

Welcome!

I’m a 43 year redheaded runner- living and working in Central Connecticut with my long time loving husband (and sometimes running czar) Mark and our dog Harley.

I have always enjoyed sports but it wasn't until 11 years ago that I decided to "take up" running. Since then, running has allowed me to have some awesome adventures as well as meet some pretty cool people.

Along with running, I am also passionate about food and drink, considering myself a bit of an amateur food geek.

So I decided to start my blog to combine both of these passions by documenting my journey to balance the two - one step at a time.

So thanks for stopping by and as always - Keep Calm. Eat Well. Run Strong.

My Life In An Instant

This week marked some highs ⬆️ and lows ⬇️in my recovery from hamstring surgery.

⬆️ My surgeon finally gave me clearance to start "training" to possibly maybe in Feb ❤️❤️❤️.

⬇️PT now has me doing ladder drills and let me tell you I am both uncoordinated and out of practice. 😫 Thank God no one is videotaping me.

⬆️ I’ve had my @onepeloton AND I LOVE IT. I use it every day and really think it’s helping my recovery. I really love the bike classes but also love the strength and stretching classes available.

⬇️ Given free reign I "might" have over done it on the bike leading o some soreness and a subsequent minor meltdown that @markciccio got to witness and deal with. Luckily backing off on the bike while still working those PT exercises did trick!

My recovery has been pretty uneventful up until now so I was bound to hit some bumps as I work to regain my strength.

So tell me what's been a high or a low.of your week??

Especially during a long holiday weekend filled with the continueation of our basement remodel.

(Also find yourself a "go to"pizza joint who pretty much knows your slice order. Makes ordering so much easier 💕🤩💕)

✴️GRAIN FREE GRANOLA GOODNESS⁠✴️
⁠
As a fan of @pickybars granola I was one of the first to try their new Grain Free Performance Granola over the Summer. ⁠
⁠
Call of the Wild Blueberry (with almond butter, maple & rosemary) falls in line their other products providing balanced and sustainable nutrition that also tastes delicious! ⁠🤩
⁠
Their grain-free granola is definitely not as sweet as many of the run of the mill granola flavors on the market. I was unsure 🤞how I would like the flavor of rosemary in my granola but it pairs so well with the blueberry flavor. ⁠👍
⁠
Made with chickpea flakes (instead of oats) their #grainfree granola has a unique flavor while still providing a bit of sweetness.⁠
⁠
It's definitely been a welcome addition to my daily morning yogurt.⁠
⁠
What's your favorite grab and go #breakfast ?

I’ve never met a cupcake (especially those from @noracupcakeco)that didn’t send me into a sugary coma of happiness. 💕💕

And if one location wasn't Enough, now until Valentine’s Day they will #cupcakehustlin at Blue Back Square in West Hartford -because I O there's NOTHING a cupcake can’t solve.

Which one would you choose??

📍Nora Cupcake(W Hartford CT)
🍥 (Top L➡️R Irish Car Bomb / Oreo Mudslide / Cookie Dough)
(Bottom L➡️R Chocolate PB EXPLOSION / The Beast / Funfetti)

✴️THIRSTY THURSDAY✴️⠀

Wishing that I was wearing shorts instead of my current uniform of long pants,long sleeves and a cardigan 🙄. ⠀
⠀
Basically wishing it was Summer again...⁠☀️⠀
⁠⠀
Luckily still have some @betinispirits on hand, which I will be using to "take me back" over the weekend. These ready to serve beverages are naturally sweet, gluten free, and definitely don't taste pre-mixed. It's the perfect "anytime" beverage to enjoy with who ever happens to be nearby⁠. 🍹⠀
⁠⠀
What is your favorite season?⁠⠀
