FitFluential Ambassador

Guess what?  I am a FitFluential Ambassador.  What exactly is that?  Well – from their website:

What this means for me, my blog and you is that we will be connected to an awesome network of fit-tastic people and have even more good healthy living information to share!  I am really excited about this opportunity!

The good people at FitFluentail also suggested that I start a Twitter account.  If you have twitter and would like to follow me my name is @runningwithrach. Original, right?  I feel extremely behind the times trying to figure out this Twitter business, but I am determined to learn the etiquette and lingo. If you have any useful information and would like to help a sister out, I would be more than grateful. 

Run

I intended on running 6 miles yesterday, but it turns out that Asheville is in the mountains.  Which means that it is hilly.  Like really hilly.  I spent the first mile running down a hill and the next mile running back up it.  After that I was lucky to get one more mile in before my shins were screaming at me.  Today = 6 miles if it kills me.

Eats

I worked from Sarah and Ryan’s house.  They have an extremely well stocked fridge and pantry.  I was like a kid in a candy store. As I had planned on running 6 miles, I had a little pre-run snack of a waffle and a sliced banana.

After my run I made a Greek yogurt parfait.

For lunch I grabbed a random leftover container from their fridge and added some broccoli.

It tasted even better from their beautiful deck. 

For dinner we ate at a very interesting restaurant called The Lucky Otter.  A nice toy shark marked our order.

I ordered a chicken satay burrito.  It was fantastic.
