>Seems everyone is a little Irish on St. Patty’s day 😉
This morning I woke early (for once!) and headed out for a 5-mile run as the sun was coming up….
Perdyy but muddy…
Ravishing after the run, I made a Green Monster in the spirit of St. Patty’s Day:
^1 small frozen nanner, ~1/2 cup frozen raspberries, 1 scoop Sun Warrior Vanilla Protein, 2 tsp Sun Warrior Greens (see below), 1 tsp flax seed oil, 1 cup spinach…Crazy how good this tastes!
New greens:
^LOVE em!
And here’s some workout motivation for the day:
^Saw these two ladies trail running the morning! Did you know there’s a 70+ age category in the Boston Marathon???
Have a great day!
QUESTION: Any St. Patty’s plans??? And do you use Twitter??? I do 🙂 Add me and let’s chat

>Wow, I love seeing older people running…it gives me hope for an active lifestyle when I'm that age!! No plans for me, hope you have a good one though!
>Beautiful Sunrise! I love a brisk am workout.
>I've always wanted to run a marathon, but I just don't think I can. I know that's defeatist thinking… but seriously… it seems so hard! I like doing my 45 min of the elliptical each day… and sometimes… THAT seems like too much!! =) Maybe one of these days…
>Oh, that trail was muddy….glad you had a nice run though!Happy St. Patty's Day!xoxo
>What a great scenery to run!
>awesome scenery! you are from boston?! YAY! i am too, still live here and love it, but DC is great too 🙂 I love seeing older pepople workout, I hope that's me someday!
>hahah i LOVE THE OLD LADIES! that is awesome!your green monstaaa sounds delish girl!
>What a beautiful place to run! And those women are inspiring. I hope I'm that awesome when I'm old.
>I live in Annandale. We just had a Northern Virginia blogger meetup and it was mad fun and I think we should do another one downtown and have DC bloggers too!
>Awww I think it's so great that women that age are still active!!! I hope to be like that when i'm older!
>i love the outdoor pics, so pretty! and even better is there are 85 yr old women yogis who are beautiful and poised and inspire me!
>Your run along the river looks pretty! And I love when I see old people running; saw a man yesterday who chatted with me. Twas adorable! I legit am half Irish but never remember to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, oddly enough!
>Your morning run looks beautiful! I'm jealous! I wish I had somewhere that pretty to run near me. For me it's the gym and treadmill LOL
>Hey Lauren! I just stumbled across your blog…and I'm glad I did!! 🙂 Wow those older women are amazing. They are a perfect example that health and fitness should be a lifelong journey.
>what an AMAZING start to the day!! I am LOVING the GREEN blend! I hope your night was equally awesome 🙂 xoxo!!
>@Veggielady4life I think working out on any machine (and not outside) for 45 mins feels like too much! I get bored so fast!
>@Lele Meee too!
>@Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) That's incredible! Esp considering mainstream yoga hasn't been in the US for that long.
>love your photos! the beautiful scenery makes up for the mud 😉
>Lauren, come by and see me please I have a surprise for you!xoxo
>Good luck in your 1/2 this weekend girl – you will rock it! xoxo.P.S. Those two "spring chickens" are definitely setting a high (but definitely doable) bar for us!
>Have fun on your run! I love looking at your pics because I doubt I will ever visit DC..and you make it look so pretty! If I'm MIA I'm at my parents again, my Dad's not doing so well, and I knew I needed to fly home again. Will try to check in like normal, though!Good Luck! ((Hugs))!
