I love tea too much.It wins over coffee!

The chickpea salad looks awesome! I wish my city was hip enough to have veggie restaurants. We’re so behind the times.

What a fun run! I’m a little more partial to tea, but sometimes Starbucks just calls my name!

i always drink coffee in the morning (whether it’s decaf or reg depends on my mood!) but usually drink tea as the day moves along

Haha, Too funny about the random 5k!! I probably would have done the same thing! 🙂

I love seeing this place on your blogs. Infusion Tea looks so cute and such a good girly lunch stop.

Hope you have a great day Caitlin! 🙂

I am morning coffee girl! I try to drink decaf green tea between meals. Ever tried Teeccino? It’s an herbal coffee minus the caffiene! It’s an acquired taste, but it’s loaded with vitamins and minerals & you can mix it with regular coffee and brew away. Oh, and good looking gummies from the glove box!

I’m so excited to go eat at that place this week!! Wish you could comeeeeeeeeeee.

Oh and I am tea all the way 🙂 Coffee makes me feel icky 🙁

Hi Caitlin!
My brother also ran the Boston Marathon with TNT. In April, it was also cold! He wore a tight fitted underarmour shirt underneath the tee! Part of the fun of being on TNT is all the people that cheer for you along the way when they see your shirt 🙂

Wow, that sandwich looks delicious! And the timer for the tea is so cute!! I need to find a place like this!

I like coffee drinks when I’m out but at home, it’s all about the tea. Living in London, I loved that everything stopped for a tea break every afternoon. 😀

Ahahaha, thats amazing that you ran into a race. ha

I’m definitely a tea girl. Love all kinds!

love coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon. occasionally i’ll have coffee mid-day like at starbucks.

that’s hilarious that you ran into a race. no one looked at you funny or anything? awesome.

I love both coffee & tea… just depends on what I’m in the mood for!!

Haha! I love that you ran into a race! Your sandwich also looks delicious!

i’mma coffee girl too! but a smooth, un-bitter sweet tea w/ some milk is nice in the evening. 🙂

♥ the gummi bears! perfect post-run 😉

happy saturdayyyy

OMG at that sandwich! And I love my coffee but have tea at night 🙂

Wow that entire meal looks amazing!! Yum!

I am a coffee girl…all the way! I love it! But I am not one of those people who can drink it all day long. I like it with breakfast and only breakfast.

I love Harney and Sons Organic Peppermint Tea!! Soooo tasty… but I really love a a pumpkin spice latte from starbucks every so often! You will totally need more clothing for the Marathon! We wore trash bags… (my mom, dad did 2 full marathons and I’ve done 2 half marathons) so after the first one, we kept the thermal blanket they give you and used them for next years race. One race I was so COLD around mile seven I seriously considered picking up some clothes someone discarded alongside the road….can you imagine how gross that would have been? ew. Gosh I miss running in them!!!

Haha okay, when you mentioned the gummy bears you found in your glove box, it reminded me of the end of Ferris Beuller’s Day Off when the girl on the bus offers the principal the gummys and they are all hot and gross haha!

nice job on the 5k crashing it sounds like fun!

That sandwich looks great. Look at you eating a ton of veggies. Good job 🙂 I am a coffee in the morning girl and tea during the day/evening.

I’m the same- I love coffee, but there’s nothing on a chilly night like a mug of tea. Iced tea is my FAV cold drink, far superior to iced coffee, in my opinion.

As fun as running into the race, running it and posing for pictures sounds, I’m going to play devil’s advocate for a second… Running a race without registering is called “banditing” in the running world. Many people argue that it’s either wrong, unfair or both and, either way, negatively affects other racers (who fairly registered and paid) and race organizers. As we know, it takes time and money (from registrants) for race directors to coordinate and stage races. The race you bandited was only a 5k, but what if it had been a half marathon and you stepped in at the beginning and ran through to the end; would you have taken Gatorade at an aid station? A banana at the end? What if the 5k you bandited benefited a charity which you didn’t support by not registering? I know you didn’t go to the race PLANNING to bandit, but many people do — especially with big races like the Boston Marathon. A lot of people bandit races because they didn’t qualify (Boston), weren’t selected in the entry lottery (New York) or can’t afford to register. When they run the race anyway, it negatively affects everyone. There’s a reason many races have cutoffs — it’s so the last couple of kilometers aren’t as congested as the first! It’s so race directors can ensure that there is adequate fuel (gatorade, gels, etc.) along the course; it’s so they can ensure enough volunteers for the entirety of the race; it’s so year after year they can obtain the permits they need to put on a road race (yes, local governments are often the ones setting the limits on entrants). I know you meant no harm, but please consider what I’ve written next time you come across a 5k and “decide to hop onto the race.”

Personally, I love both! I have always loved coffee with a sick, addictive passion. And tea was great too. But once I went to England this summer my love of tea expanded to new heights. I actually purchased my first teapot ever in England and am proud to say I use it quite often.

I’m the exact same way – def LOVE my coffee, but an afternoon tea is great, too.

Definitely Coffee!!!!! but green tea will do when i don’t feel like drinking milk.. the panini looks delish!!! makes me want one now!

Deciding to ‘jump into’ a race, cross the finish line, and pose for photos is NOT ok. It is being a bandit. Take it from someone who has been a race director, your irresponsible and impulsive actions have consequences, even if you do not see them.

I’m definitely a coffee girl, but I try to stick with one cup a day. After that, it’s tea tea tea! I can’t get past drinking unsweetened tea though, so agave or honey is always a must.

Your gummi bears look like gummi KOALAS! I mean, still a bear, but they are super cute. Yeah, I’m a dork.

I love both coffee and tea, but I think I am a tea kind of girl in my heart of hearts. 🙂

Oh, wow. That panini looks uh-mazing. I went for a 10-mile run this morning and thought of you and your 22-mile run. You go girl. Don’t know how ya did it.

I love tea and hate coffee. I drink tea at least 3 times a day, usually more. I cannot function during the day without a cuppa with my brekkie, and I use it the rest of the day as an incentive to get work done. The sooner I finish, the sooner I get my tea!

Even though it’s big you should wear your TNT shirt! I did a TNT half marathon in Atlanta and when people see your shirt you get big cheers and it’s totally motivating. Good luck!

Maybe you could wear the singlet as a layer? There are lots of TNT “cheerleaders” along the course, you might be disappointed that you didn’t wear the shirt. With that said, I ran it last year and it was pretty chilly. There is about a 1/2 mile walk from the staging area to the start and some standing around before you get moving so you probably will need something other than the singlet.

Do you eat vegan/vegetarian versions of candy? I love marshmallow and anything with marshmallows and was disturbed to learn that they had gelatin in them (which I didn’t know that gelatin is made of animal bones, connective tissue, and skin! EW!)On top of that, I didn’t realize how many things have gelatin in them!
