Festival Eats Continued

I absolutely loved all of your responses to my last post! I'm glad to know that some of you simply can't run a step without your iPod (like me), but it was also refreshing to know that some of you can throw miles back without a single tune (wow). I wish I could claim that! You all rock (and rock out) ladies!

fresh eats.
Well, I told you I was going to go back to the festival, didn't I? Did anyone figure out my hint earlier? Okay, I'll give it to you again: It sucks. Figure it out yet?

Why calamari, of course! Seriously, there are few things better than fresh made calamari. This stuff melted in my mouth. It was like chewing through butter. I choked down that entire thing in under 3 minutes. I know because I timed myself. And no, that's not weird.

I also got another fab festival food. Potato pizza. Which is never an actual pizza so I'm still unsure why they call it that.

And a side shot for ya.

I had originally planned to take this home and eat it for lunch today, but it got about as far as my car before I shamelessly devoured it. Oops. I'll chalk that down as a "my bad."

Breakfast was another bowl of whipped oats. I told you this would happen. Every day for a week, I promise it. This time, I tried a chocolate variation - with a little added sugar.

A chocolate chickpea brownie from the depths of my freezer. This was completely amazing, as I expected. Such deliciousness for breakfast makes me feel a bit evil. I like it.

For dinner, I tried another zucchini recipe. I'm pretty much drowning in zucchini so get used to it.

Mushroom Stuffed Zucchini. This was so good, I ate an entire half and would have eaten the other half if I hadn't wanted it so badly for lunch (no potato pizza!). I got the original recipe here. Obviously, I didn't add the ham, but everything else is exactly the same. The only thing I would do differently next time is double the filling - but that's because I'm a mushroom addict.

fit happenings.
I feel as though my terribly tough run on Saturday has actually made the rest of my runs easier. Is that weird? Better question, is that possible?

Both yesterday and today I went for short, three mile runs and I finished minutes faster than I normally would. I'm not sure if it's because I'm trying harder or they just seem easier. Today's splits:

• Mile 1 - 10:26
• Mile 2 - 9:26
• Mile 3 - 8:48

Boom. I also did my current favorite full body workout, The Total Body Sesh. Let's just say, I was pretty happy with myself. Thankfully this week is my taper week which works out great because I'm going to Ocean City this weekend! My boyfriend's sister is getting married and a bunch of us are going down for her bachelorette party. I cannot wait to be on the beach! And you know you'll be right there with me (:

Things to look forward to this week:
- Two Reviews!
- Music I run to (Reader Request)
- A look in my FitBook

Instead of asking you a question to end off, I'm turning it around! If you guys have any questions you'd like to ask me, I'm looking to start a Q&A page! I'll answer anything you throw at me, so you can either email me directly at fitnfreshblog@gmail.com or just post them here. Thank you my little blogettes and have a great night (:
