Here we go… Tuesday Tidbits, Round 12.
1. A huge shipment from Pressed Juicery is in route to my door, so feel free to stop by during happy hour this week for a kale cocktail.
2. If you haven’t already, enter to win my $50 Albion Fit Giveaway! Albion has all the goods to brighten up your spring workout wardrobe.
3. Did you hear that I ran 8.5 miles on Saturday!? I still can’t believe it. I think it has been close to a year and half since I’ve ran said distance. Although I’ve surpassed one of my April Intentions, I do hope to accomplish one to two more long runs this month.
4. With plans of increased running, I am in the market for a new pair of sneaks. Anyone have any input on the Mizuno Wave Rider 17?
5. Bad news… my cold cereal for dinner habit has struck again. As a Love Blogger, problems like this exist when you get a “love drop” of Power O’s, Love Grown Food’s newest product (which, by the way, gets two thumbs up).
6. My journey to become a certified holistic health coach is zooming by. The pace of my work load is picking up slightly, but I feel more inspired by IIN’s program with each new module that I open.
7. I get excited when P tells me he bought kombucha at Whole Foods. (It’s the little things.) If you haven’t caught onto the kombucha craze, read up >> Probiotics 101.
8. Spring has officially sprung… meaning I need to make mint iced coffee and eat strawberry salads on the regular.
9. I recently made a pot of coconut curry carrot soup with carrots from my company’s estate garden. Six ingredients. Devoured it.
10. Other recipes in my kitchen as of late >> coconut cashew crunch granola // apricot oat bars // raw broccoli salad // superfood pesto // 3-minute banana peanut butter oatmeal.

My Experience at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN)
Awesome post! I don’t have any advice on the shoes, but I hope some other people do! Totally trying the coconut curry carrot soup!
Loving the Mizuno Wave Rider 17’s (I have been using the Riders for years), and I have to say the 17’s run kinda short. I would try on a size up if you go to a store and pick them up. Great job on the 8.5!
Thanks for the tip!
AHHH you just reminded me of two things: i have a bottle of kombucha in my fridge, YESSS, and i forgot i bought a huge bag of carrots to juice. whoop! you’ve made my morning.
i have those sneakers and like them, but don’t love them. they’re certainly comfortable, BUT the tongue on the front feels really weird bc it kinda digs into my ankle area when i run. so, my point is, i like them for just wearing around, but NOT for running. hope that helps. i almost always wear mizunos, too.
I’ve always worn Mizunos and just got the 17’s. The tongue did feel weird when I first tried them on, but as soon as I went out for a run, I honestly forgot I was even wearing shoes! I’m in the middle of training for a half and have had zero problems with them so far. They feel like they have a bit more cushioning than the 16’s, so maybe they’ll last a bit longer, too.
I got a pair of the Wave Rider 17s to try and, for some reason, didn’t love them. It could have just been the run. I’ve been meaning to try them out again, but my shins hurt the entire time and they felt really cushiony. I’ve been wearing the Asics GT-2000 2s on long runs and sometimes wearing the Mizuno Wave Sayonaras on shorter runs (just because I love these even though they don’t have too much support).
Cushiony isn’t a good thing?
It is, just maybe I wasn’t used to it.. not sure. Sorry that’s not very helpful!
I’ve worn Mizunos for years, though I’m in the Wave Inspire for stability. Love them!
I’ve never had the green kombucha…always choose ginger berry! Probiotics are so important. Something missing in so many people’s diet and such good benefits for them (I just wrote a post about them today, too!)
You reminded me that I also REALLY need to get some new tennis shoes. I’ve not heard of those or heard any reviews — the Mizuno Wave Riders — but now you’ve peaked my interest, so I will have to check them out! Thanks for mentioning them.
I found a lot of negative reviews about the Mizuno Wave Riders 17, so I was really hesitant to get them. However, after trying on a few different shoes, they were my absolute favorite. I haven’t had any problems and love them. So light and great cushioning. I might even get a second pair!
Thanks for the feedback!
I’ve been looking for that almond butter dark chocolate bar! Whole Foods?
I bought it at my local co-op, but I would think Whole Foods sells it.
