Things I’m Loving Right Now – Fall Edition

Fall is here! Kind of….in San Diego we’re at least seeing some colder weather in the morning and the evenings. I’ve worn boots 3 times! Now that wedding season is over, November is all about marathon training. So far, Mike and I have been enjoying a lot of relaxation time between running and going to work. A lot of the things I’m really into right now are a reflection of training and my extra free time (i.e. binge watching The Walking Dead is very conducive to recovery, besides the spike in my blood pressure every 5 minutes).

Fall Produce

Namely, pomegranates and squash. My new favorite salad is simple: mix together spinach, arugula (or not), roasted butternut squash (I buy the pre-cut kind at Costco and bake it all at once), goat cheese and pomegranate seeds together with a basic balsamic vinaigrette. Best salad ever. I’m going to bring it to Thanksgiving!

The Walking Dead

Can’t. Stop. Watching. Zombies. We are definitely addicted! The cliffhangers are brutal on this show. So is the violence – if you are squeamish, this probably isn’t the show for you. Also please do not spoil it for me – we’re still in Season 3.

Oiselle Lesley Moto Tight.

I feel HOT (as in sexy, not warm, although they do keep me warm) in these tights. They are so flattering. I wear them to Pilates and am almost offended when I don’t get compliments from strangers. In other news, it has recently become cold enough in the mornings for me to actually wear tights so this purchase came at the right time (it’s not cold enough in the daytime though – recently we’ve been seeing highs in the 80’s again!!!)

Ok not the best photo to show these babies off (I was really taking a picture of these crazy toe socks I got...)

Taylor Swift 1989.

I must say I was relieved when I realized that at least Taylor Swift was born in the same decade as me so I don’t seem totally inappropriate listening to her album on repeat all day. As a long time country  and Taylor Swift fan, I wasn’t sold on the album the first time I heard it (it’s a pop album, not country) but it grew on me and now I can’t get enough.

Free Online Yoga.

I’ve mentioned it before, but I really love the website Do Yoga With Me. You can search their database for free yoga workouts of varying lengths and difficulties. There are several just for athletes. I’m particularly partial to the 25 minute Injury Prevention for Runners video. I also love fellow Oiselle athlete Susie’s 15 minute post-run yoga sequence on YouTube (Bonus points: her accent is great). Namaste.

What are you loving right now? Anyone else a T.Swift or Walking Dead fan?

    T Swift fan all the way! I wish she was still country but I still adore her.

    Those tights are ADORABLE! I’d for sure compliment you. Don’t even worry girl!

    I am in LOVE with Injinji toe socks. Might feel strange to you at first, but I’m positive you’ll get used to them. And then never go back. I cannot stand having my toes smushed together inside socks anymore, so I’m wearing toe socks even in my boots this fall! Plus, NO MORE BLISTERS!!!!

      Yeah I’ve been suffering from major blisters lately so I gave them a try! Definitely comfy – I need to get more.

    That salad looks awesome!! I want to get the Moto tights. I am on the fence!! 🙂 I have to tell you i have been doing yoga from that website every week since you mentioned it last. I love being able to just do it at home. We have done a bunch of different ones but all of them have been good! Thanks for sharing that website!!
    I am loving recovery right now. I have eaten too much ice cream for the lack of working out but oh well!
