WB and I went for a mega-walk yesterday: 5.5 miles! It included a stop at Starbucks, where I tried my first-ever green tea latte. Not bad! It was really bright-green…my phone was dead, so no photo 
Our walk took us past one of my favorite stores, where I saw that this silk dressing gown I’d been wanting for a whole year was on sale. I was too gross to go buy it on our walk, but I sped over after a shower and now it’s all mine!
Dinner was a new year’s day rerun with some canned organic cranberry sauce FROM 2008 (use it up!):
(Don’t worry, it was still in date. We’re thrifty, not crazy.)
Today’s workout started with a 55 second plank. Yep, it beat me – I gave out just 5 seconds before the timer went off. The biggest surprise was that WB joined me – and held out for the full 60 seconds! Humbled, I did a few sets of the abs that we do in my yoga class, then headed down to the gym for a “hill run” on the treadmill. I’ve never tried to run hills on the treadmill before, and I think my plans were…ambitious. I ended up doing 2 miles that included:
- 2 short hills (5 min each)
- 1 long hill (very steep…I ended up walking most of it)
- 2 x 400 at 10:30 pace
- a few miscellaneous minutes of running at 11:00 pace
- one scary moment when the treadmill said my heart rate was only 99
I suppose I’ll just call it a fartlek day.
The rest of today holds:
- Breakfast – it’s almost noon!
- Cleaning
- Cooking for the week (using up loooots of things for lunches!)
- More quality time with the wii?
- Coffee!!!!
