This running thing…

…it’s seeming kind of…easier?

My calves felt unfamiliar when I woke up this morning – sore from yoga, looser, sort of weak.  I was out the door by 9 for my 3 mile run anyway, which I finished in 38:15 without pushing at all (my total distance was 3.35 in 45 – I walked for my warm-up and cool down).  It’s not fast, but I look back at my training log and see that it used to be one of my faster times.

I had some water and a date and went down to the gym to do some speedwork.  Hot, thirsty, tired, and hungry…it was not meant to be.  I did 1.5 x 440 at 6 mph before I gave up and went upstairs for breakfast.

I am committed to cleaning out the pantry this week!  So committed, in fact, that it is 87º and I ate hot cereal:

I mixed Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free hot cereal (rice, corn, sorghum, and buckwheat) with orange marmalade and a little almond milk.  Accompaniments: coffee, water, and a cranberry Emergen-C.

I was looking for some tools to help my mom stick with her fitness program last night and came across this cute fitness planner (free) – it seems so fun!  My passion for planning and organizing seems to know no bounds :)

Wonderful boyfriend and I are having lunch today, which is a nice surprise…but I only have about 20 more minutes to figure out what we’re going to do!  I’m not sure if I’m making something or choosing somewhere to go out.  I found a great new wine bar that has its grand opening this weekend, but that is probably not what he should be doing on his lunch break :)    Off to browse for more….
