Yesterday, Chris and I enjoyed smoothies! I combined some yogurt, milk banana, peanut butter, no sugar added Nesquik, and cinnamon... and added spinach to my own. DELICIOUS!
This morning I woke up early to meet-up with the local running group. A total of three of us showed up, despite six people RSVP-ing. Several of the members were doing a Ragnar Relay-type race today. Our little group this morning decided to all stick together and just chatted and ran. I really enjoyed myself and the pace was more an adequate for lots of chatting. (o: Total time was 43:09 for 3.58 miles.
Mile 1: 11:43
Mile 2: 11:57
Mile 3: 12:00
Last 0.58 miles had a pace of 12:52 (mostly because one of the group members had an injury walked).
I had lunch plans with Caitlin, her boyfriend Ryan, and my office mate, to celebrate his finishing his seminar. I thought that there was a farmer's market where the lunch plans were, but was disappointed to find out it was actually yesterday. We had a delicious lunch at Panera, and I stopped by Bed Bath and Beyond to pick up a lid for my new 24 oz Tervis Tumbler! It will be perfect for taking smoothies, coffee, tea, and whatever else I want to work!
Oh and I almost forgot, my super cute apron arrived!!! I had a gift certificate to spend on Amazon, and I have been wanting an apron. I found THE CUTEST APRONS by Jessie Steele. Amazon was also where I purchased my Tervis Tumbler. (For the record, the liquor on top of the refrigerator has been there for a looong time. We don't drink that much!)
After bringing Chris home lunch, since he was working on a school project, I headed out to another farmer's market. This was my first time going to one with the intention of making purchases. I was very excited! The market was fun, but I was hoping for more actual produce and less arts and crafts and fair food. Oh well. I did purchase a large bag of delicious grapefruit and some straws of naturally flavored local honey (the honey is actually in straw tubes, so it would be perfect for taking for a peanut butter and honey sandwich at work).
Finally, some pictures of my lazy kitties before I go off to watch The Blindside. I hope it is as good as I have been hearing. I can't wait!
Oh, and check out the kettleworx give-away over at Endurance Isn't Only Physical.
This blog was started as a way of keeping myself motivated to keep working out, and the blog has been successful in that aspect. I started running in 2007, and it really has transformed my life. I have discovered so many inspiring individuals through the "blog world" and many delicious recipes. I use this blog to keep track of my training and write about the fun things in life. Keep checking back to read about my training for my first marathon, in February 2011.
I love blue russians. They are gorgeous cats.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa. We are pretty sure that is what Ashe is... at least a mix with a Russian blue. We actually adopted her from a shelter. She is so soft and sweet.
