Welcome to another edition of Fit 4 Thursday!

I know last week I shared my favorite recovery smoothie, but today I'm also sharing another favorite.

Now, I'm not one to readily jump on any bandwagon, but I gotta say I am impressed with tart cherry juice.

What's this about tart cherry juice, you ask?

Well, a few weeks ago, my mother-in-law posted on my facebook page that she'd read/heard that a lot of runner's drink tart cherry juice. Then one of my runner friends chimed in and agreed about tart cherry juice, saying that it's got some great anti-inflammatory properties and that she can't drink it straight, but she does mix it with plain carbonated water.

How is it that I'd never heard of this? So then I ask another girlfriend about it, and she again, backed up everything that I'd heard so far.

Who knew?!

Wow, it's already time for another Fit 4 Thursday post? Wasn't it last week like a second ago?

For time to be flying by so fast, I must be having a blast. Or I'm just busy.

It could be just busy.

Training is kicking into higher mileages, school is about to start, and summer is winding down. Why is my calendar getting full again?

Despite all of that, I'm super excited to share this week's recipe. I found this recipe last year, during my first half training and changed it a bit to suit me.

Let me introduce you to my favorite recovery smoothie. It's so good, especially after a long run.
