I was trying to think of five things to share and realized while my week in running was fairly uneventful the rest of my life wasn’t. I had a few “firsts” that I thought I could share.

1. I went to one of those Paint Nights and found out I can paint a little, with a lot of guidance.  My realtor had a customer appreciation event up in our small mountain community. Seemed like the perfect opportunity to meet some locals.  

   

2. I made a new recipe this week too. White Bean Soup with Kale. It wasn’t exactly soup weather but I love soup and it was chilly when I bought the ingredients. I resisted the urge to buy fresh bread to go with it (which I regretted later) to save the carbs. I’ll post the recipe next week to share. 

   

3. I tried Pilates for the first time and survived! It wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be. Although it was a beginner class and the instructor definitely went easy on us, but now I know what I can handle and next time I will step it up. 
4. I made a cucumber salad for the first time too. I’m bringing it to work in the morning to share with a friend so you’ll have to wait to hear how it turned out. It looks real good. 🙂   Find the recipe on my Pinterest page here. 
5. I don’t have a fifth first but my puppy Luna was fixed this week which means this was the first week she didn’t go to the park or for a walk so that’s kind of a first. She handled it very well by the way. Such a good pup! 

Did you try anything for the first time this week?

Do you love soup? Even in the spring?

I’m linking up with Fairytales and Fitness and Running on Happy for Friday Five. Take the time to check them out before leaving. Thanks for reading!

Keep running!
