Our Beautiful View For the weekend 

You might be wondering what is Groove? Good Question.... Check out the official website for all the details The Groove Movement. For me Groove is an Amazing Dance Workout, in which the instructor gives you moves and then you take those moves and make them your own. The Groove mantra is that we are United and Unique, we are united in the movement that we are doing but we are Unique in the fact that, that move will look different for all of us. 

Here are a few of the things that we feel when doing Groove 

Groove Training on Saturday was a lot of learning. Learning about Groove the methods, the moves, the philosophy and history and Groove. All the learning was Great but we sure worked up and appetite and Wendy at Thought Design so kindly provided us with a Great soup and salad lunch along with green cookies for St. Patrick's day, How awesome is that :) 

Thought Design has and AMAZING Kitchen, 

and you can actually rent it out and use it for parties and events how cool is that !!

Day 2 Groove Training

Happy Monday 

I need to see this Cute Face sometimes on Mondays, Just makes the day better 

What a day

Wahoo!!! we started out the day at 30 degrees today, and it felt so good to go for a run this morning and not be freezing cold with icicles hanging from eyelashes. Morning Run was about 11.5 miles total and it felt great. 

Coffee at Jp's as usual after my run and then a great chat with my new/old friend Krissy, we knew who each other was from high school but we didn't really hang out, now we are in the same small group at church and we met this morning to chat about running and fitness. Which led to Krissy getting an awesome new pair of running shoes at Gazelle Sports. With all the people that I have introduced to running and taken there to get a good pair of running shoes they should recruit me ( LOL) Anyways back to shoes... she got a sweet pair of purple Nike's, they weren't these exact shoes but the color of these was pretty close. I am super excited for Krissy and hope that her journey into running is a great one. 

I also had to try on a few shoes while I was there.. I really did need some new Running shoes mine are really starting to wear thin in the front, and the ground is getting closer :) Time for new ones... I decided I wanted to try something different. I normally go right for the Asics but I had Mizuno on the brain. I came home with the Mizuno Inspires and I am looking forward to many run with them. 

I have been asked a lot about what I eat and for good recipes so here a few for they day. I spent the afternoon doing a little baking and prep for the week to come. 

First I made Some more Black Bean Brownies

Ingredients: 

1 1/2 Cups Dark Chocolate Chips

2 Cups Black Beans or Garbanzo Beans Rinsed 

4 Eggs

2/3 Cups Agave or Brown Rice Syrup 

1/2 Tsp Baking Powder

Melt Chocolate Chips slightly 

In Blender or Food Processor, Combine beans and eggs 

Add Sweetener, Baking Powder, and Chip, Process until Smooth 

Pour into a 9 in Non Stick Pan

Bake 350 , 35-45 Minutes 

Second I made Protein balls 

Peanut Butter, Chia Seeds, Raw Cacao Nibs, Honey, Protein Powder, Oats, mix together until you can roll into a ball. 

Sorry I didn't really measure just kind of Threw it all together. 

Other stuff you can put in them, Flax Seeds, Acai Berries, Dried Cranberries, Chocolate Chips.. Etc.... you can kind of play with the recipe and have fun with the ingredients. 

Last but not least I made Gluten Free Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

Oh and the other day while at Target I found this super cute workout top :) Target is just trouble for me sometimes I always come out with more then what I went there for. hehe 

Anyways those are my Ramblings for the day. Have a Great weekend 

What if Everybody Ran

I very much enjoy following this blog StuftMama and I am loving one of her recent posts about running

Question: What if Every Body Ran ? Check it out

I also just figured out what Mezamashii ( I had seen this in a few hastags on the StuftMama Blog but never looked it up)  it means....

"The feel of the road. The air in your chest. The rhythm of your body. When a run becomes more than this — when you truly lose yourself in it — this is brilliant running, and we're on a quest to bring it to the world. Join us."

I am thinking some Mizuno Running shoe might be in my future :)

What are your favorite Running Shoes ?
I normally get Asics or New Balance or Nike I am kind of sale shopper.

Flowers

It is March there is still a TON of snow on the ground and sometimes shopping at Meijer's can be stressful and you just need to buy yourself flowers to brighten up the day. 

Do have these Moments ? What do you Splurge on ?
