These long recap posts are stifling! 
Especially since life continues to go on around them. So, I am back for a regular Monday, and on schedule to be back in the saddle.
Breakfast:
(Don’t act like you don’t know what that is.)
(Except you don’t know the cool part – I made my own almond milk! Well, almond “mylk” from an Ani Phyo recipe. More on that when I’m not trying to make it to work on time for freakin’ once.)
The green monster comes with a sidekick now – vegetarian DHA! I have so much to say about that that I’ll save it for another post.
Lunch:
Raw veggie burgers! Adapted from another Ani Phyo recipe. Easy as pie, but much tastier.
Served on a romaine “bun” with avocado, radish sprouts, and a little bit of ketchup.
Accompanied by raisins, almonds, and an apple (not pictured). It’s like I’m five years old, but healthier.
POTM! POTM!
It is a month of acronyms for me. NaNoWriMo, POTM, a never-ever-ending list of SharePoint code words (not really, but they sound more fun when I act like someone intentionally made the software difficult to get along with), and emails from my high school regarding my upcoming reunion (eek), full of acronyms because the school’s name is so embarrassingly long that everything we do must be abbreviated (MBA for short). (No, that’s not code for ‘I’m going back to grad school,’ because I’m not. Yet.)
So I’ve been trying to POTM (Pile On The Miles), but my pile is a bit smaller than I had anticipated – I’ve only been averaging about 10 miles per week. Matters weren’t helped by the fact that on my first run after my half marathon I FELL ON MY FACE at about, oh, mile 0.3 of a four mile run. I finished that run, knees and lip bleeding all the while, mostly because I was meeting WB at the farmer’s market at the end of my run and had no way to get in touch with him.
I’ve been cramming in most of my miles on my lunch break, but it is still in the 80′s here much of the time (seriously now, it is NOVEMBER), so I’ve been looking forward to mornings like this one where I actually make it out of bed without an hour or so of snoozing. I spent some quality time with the treadmill – just 1.2 miles, but it was my fastest 1.2 treadmill miles all year (and worth “missing” an extra 20 minutes of sleep to crawl into workout gear and stumble downstairs to the gym).
Off to work! It’s pouring rain right now (and I don’t really want to leave my bed and my smoothie to go out and wait for the bus), but I’m hoping that will clear up so I can pile on some more lunchtime miles. Happy Monday!!
