The Friday Five

This morning, Meet Virginia‘s blog post was five things she enjoyed this week. She is encouraging her readers to do the same, so I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon!

Here are 5 things I am loving or am excited about!

1. Running with the sunrise.

It was a perfect run this morning. I started out just as it was getting light and finished up an hour later (7 miles) just as the sun was truly rising. Loved it!

2. Great Harvest Sandwiches.

I rarely go out for lunch because where are you going to find “healthy” fast food. Subway? No thank you; I am not a fan. A McDonald’s salad? Um, I would feel guilty just walking in there even if it was to buy a salad.

So on the rare occasion the pickings at home are too slim for packing a lunch, to Great Harvest it is!

A veggie sandwich: real food + homemade + delicious = a winner!

Plus, who could forget the free samples? Apricot almond bread.

3. Something I am pinning:

I can’t say I am obsessed with Pinterest, but I have enjoyed going on when I get a chance and looking at all the beautiful pictures. . . . dreaming about my future house. . . . drooling over delicious-looking food. . . . and planning what to buy for my wardrobe.

I am obsessed about this outfit!

4. What I am listening to:

Christian music. . . . . I am an eclectic music listener: country, pop, easy-listening, etc., but this week I’ve been listening to a lot more Christian music. It relaxes me and refocuses my thoughts on God.

Hi, I'm Michelle

I love running around the lakes of Minnesota, running after my two boys, and racing anything from the 5K to the marathon. I have been blogging here since 2010 when I ran my first marathon. I finally secured my sub-3 hour marathon after trying for 8 years.

    Oh my gosh–that apricot almond bread looks awesome!

    I’ve been listening to a lot more Christian music the past few weeks, too. I used to hate Christian music because a lot of it is cheesy, but I’m starting to appreciate it more now. šŸ™‚

      I wasn’t blown away by the apricot almond bread. I would eat it for free but wouldn’t pay for it.

      I agree there are some cheesy Christian songs out there.

    What do you know, I am the same way with the music I like. That is why I never know what to say when people ask me what is my favorite kind of music.
