Weekend Recap: From Caviar to Treadmills

November 19, 2011 By Heather Blackmon

.

Today is going to be a great day! Starting with a long run on the trails near Kennesaw Mountain, followed by an afternoon of football (Go Dawgs!), and finally reservations at a new (to us) restaurant in Athens, called Gymnopedie. Look for a review next week! For now, here’s this week’s Weekend Recap of posts you may have missed.

Weekend Recap

1.  Monday: Feelin’ Fancy with Caviar, Blinis, and Crème Fraîche. After reading about vegan caviar on Angela’s blog – I ordered a jar of my own to give it a try. Paired with spinach blinis made from Kristina’s recipe, you have a delicious and sophisticated appetizer to impress! Even if it’s just to enjoy some eye candy, I hope you’ll check out this post. 🙂

2.  Tuesday: Tuesday Training: Resistance Bands & Cold-Weather Running Gear. This week’s Tuesday Training features Resistance Band training (as part of Lindsay’s Tuesday Trainer) and Cold Weather Running Gear! I included what I think are must-haves and a few other extras you might want to consider.

Resistance Bands – Overhead Press

 

3.  Wednesday:What I Ate Wednesday: 5th Edition. WIAW is a fun way to capture everything you eat on one day. This week’s menu includes: Tofu Scramble with Avocado, Mushrooms, and Tomatoes, Gorilla Food Green Tacos, Kale Chips and Asian Noodle Bowl with Spaghetti and Almond Chili Sauce.

4.  Thursday: How To Make Treadmill Running More Fun. This packed-full post includes 2 treadmill workouts you can use to make your indoor runs more interesting, my new Champion sports bras, and “Steak” Salad. This is the first of a series of treadmill workout posts I plan to do this winter. Make sure you get started with these, as I plan on progressing the difficulty as we go!

5.  Friday: Review: Tuk Tuk Thai Food Loft & Guest Post. My first meet-up with a group of awesome Atlanta Bloggers at Tuk Tuk Thai Food Loft. A review of the food & drinks – all photos taken without having to explain the camera at dinner. 🙂

Hi! I’m Heather, a yoga & wellness teacher based in Colorado... Read More…

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT! 

I added a link in my bio if you're interested in learning more, so you can help #ExploreandRestore!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸 But reall Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
