I realized I have not talked about running once since starting this blog, so I thought I should probably recap my past week in running. If you assumed running is a huge passion of mine then you’d be correct. I enjoy training for an upcoming race because it gives me motivation to get out the door when I’m just not feeling it. Right now, I am not in “training” per say, my dad and I are still working out the logistics for my next marathon but I still like to pretend that I am.
Mileage –> 72.55
Honestly, this is pretty normal for me – give or take a few miles. It feels great to get back into my routine. Between finals, moving out of the dorm and starting my internship I had to take lots of rest days (no complaints) and adjust my schedule.
Reflections of the past week:
- Hills are killer – running in Virginia is a lot easier.
- Hills make for killer leg muscles.
- New York drivers are aggressive & don’t care about the little girl running on the side of the road if they have places to be
- Ditto to teenagers
- Hot weather really drains me – pace & energy wise.
Of course I can’t leave you without some food – after all runners need fuel 
Sundried Tomato Basil Pesto Chicken Wrap
In the wrap:
- 1 large whole wheat tortilla
- Laughing Cow Sun-dried Tomato Cheese Wedge
- Trader Joe’s Sweet Basil & Pesto Chicken/Turkey Sausage
- 1 large zucchini
- Handful of sun-dried tomatoes
I sauteed the zucchini to soften it & spiced it up with basil, oregano and Italian seasoning.
That’s a wrap!
P.S Follow me on twitter 
that is a ton of miles? what’s your schedule like?!
Sounds like your running has been going really well, that is some impressive millage! One of the greatest regrets I have of my condition is that I never got to give running a go.
Your wrap looks delicious, I love zucchini and sun-dried tomatoes so I’m sure I’d love it
DANG GIRL!! You’re a running beast!!! Care to share some of that awesomeness with a chick who loathes cardio??
72.55 miles!?!? You are a beast!! I love it!! Inspiration for sure! YUMMM WRAP!
That is some amazing milage! Wow! The heat always kills my pace as well haha. PA’s hills are rough too.
Sauteed zucchini and sundried tomatoes? You are doing it right
Love both of those things, yum yum.
GIRL! That wrap sounds amaaaaazing
Dang girl! You are killing it with that milage! That wrap looks amazing!
72 miles in the last week??? Dang lady you are amazing!
Your wrap looks delicious! And I am super impressed by your mileage!
way to go on the running! that’s awesome
Awesome mileage girl, you really sound like a dedicated runner
! Love the sound of that wrap!
Haha your comment about NY makes me laugh. When I was visiting I was convinced if I tripped and fell NYers would just step on me and walk by. And I just requested you on twitter!
Wow! Great mileage! I’m hoping to use the advanced marathon training plan for my race in January that has me peaking in the mid 70′s. I’m scared, I’ve never run more than 55 miles in a week!
That wrap looks delicious! I’m about to start running outside (I usually run on the treadmill but I’m moving and won’t have one anymore). I’m not looking forward to hot weather and hills! I hope I can keep up my running outside.
Awesome mileage,Kailey!
& I love wraps,yours looks super delicious!
I’m loving everything about that wrap–yum! TJ’s chicken sausages are my go-to quick meal (love the spinach and feta!), but I’ve never tried incorporating them into a dish/sandwich/wrap. Thanks for the idea!
AH. Thank you for the reminder to get some more laughing cow!
Wrap looks delish!
Running in the heat drains me too. It’s rough. I’ve found that in order to distinguish between heat exhaustion and actual exhaustion is to monitor my heart rate. It’s helped heat running so far!
Awesome mileage!
the wrap looks delish!! great ingredients.
Look at that mileage, that’s awesome! And that wrap sounds delicious
The wrap looks delicious.
72 miles in one week? Wow! I agree. The heat just sucks the energy and life right out of you when running. Running is my passion too
I host a weekly health and fitness link up, Fitness Friday, if you’re interested in joining. This is the link for last week’s link up so you can see what it’s all about.

Love the looks of that veggie wrap! Looks delicious. I really need to try those laughing cow wedges. I’m super impressed by your running, I’m definitely not a runner!
Awesome mileage!! Thats fantastic. I agree that NY drivers are super aggressive, they will totally run you over they don’t care! I’m always so cautious running on the roads and fear for my life sometimes! haha
That wrap looks SO good, anything with sundried tomatoes is good in my book
Hi, Kailey, thank you for stopping by my blog! I used to eat sun dried tomatoes and toast almost every day, I should go buy some soon! And yours is the second runner’s blog that has motivating me to start exercising regularly again…I think it’s a sign!
Great veggie wrap! I’ve been craving more carbs lately– wonder why,,,,
Maybe it’s that time of month
WOW, that’s bomb mileage. May I ask how you typically get it in? I live in MD but I didn’t know VA wasn’t hilly.. I go to school in the ‘Dacks and it definitely ia a little more hilly than MD, but not significantly haha! You go girl!
Do you mean per week or day?
I usually run 11-13 miles 6 days a week so about 65-75 miles a week
Thanks girl! You’re a beast
Great mileage! I’m super impressed… Usually if I wake up really early and run it’s not too hot, but it really depends on the time of year/where you are!
And that wrap looks DELICIOUS!
Mmm, this sounds delicious! I love wraps–especially in the summer since you can stuff them with veggies!
YES to the hills and the heat!! I am trying to acclimate to the heat right now, 90+ degrees at the start of my run=ouch
I hope you’ve been having a great week so far!
xoxo!
i dream of the day that my mileage will be around 75 … i do well to get 7.5 hahaha, props to you gf!
i love love loveee laughing cow wedges! they’re so convenient and fun flavored haha. this wrap also combines pretty much all of my favorite things…I’m a sucker for sundried tomatoes! And NICE MILEAGE btw! and way to crank out those hills…I feel ya on that one. I went to college in virginia as well (William and Mary) and um, running at home is quite a bit more vertically challenging hahaa.
your post hit 2 of my favs. love me some chicken (or other!) sausage AND laughing cow wedges. yummers
That wrap looks delish! I wish that I could run.. I’ve tried, but I am definitely not a runner. More like a super fast walker
Oh, that wrap looks deliciously fabulous! Well done on those miles too!
I love tj’s chicken sausages! Have to try those laughing cow cheese wedges
Wow, nice job on all those miles this week! That wrap looks fantastic
Sounds like a yummy wrap! And 72.55 miles for the week!! Wow you go girl
Yummmyyy, I love zucchini. Man you pump out those miles.
