Howdy Friends,
Happy Thursday! Today, is technically my Friday because I am off to Atlanta after work today for the QiFORZE Master Trainer Summit. QiFORZE is a new strength format by Qignition. It was designed by some of the most brilliant minds in the fitness industry, including Leigh Crews so to say I am excited for this weekend would be an understatement!! I absolutely can't wait to learn all about this amazing format and to share it with others!
If you're not familiar with the Qignition programs, you should head over to their website and check out their videos. I'll be sure to fill you in on all the details when I get back!
If you're gearing up for a fall race, you should click on over to my friend Amy's blog and check out the guest post I did for her on why cross training is important for runners!
Now, on to the topic of the day - Healthy Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup. I know what you might be thinking....... Soup in August? Really, Lauren? I don't know what came over me, but I was really craving tomato basil soup last week, and I came across this recipe that sounded delicious. I changed a few things to healthify it a bit, and it turned out great! August or December, this baby was good!
