And no that doesn’t mean I’m away and I’m cooking up a nutritious storm. It means I’ve been turned off cooking lately. I’m sad at myself. Maren! Get back on cooking!
I finally took a picture of my long run route. I’ve been wanting to forever so I can show you how cool it is. I literally run through strawberry fields. And lettuce, broccoli, onion and I think celery. Pretty darn neat right?!
Well, yesterday I got the running bug so I decided to do my 10 mile out and back. It didn’t go well.
- my knee was super sore and not happy.
- it was late in the day and normally I do long runs first thing in the morning
- I hadn’t eaten enough
- I’m pretty sure I was dehydrated
It just wasn’t happening so I turned my 9ish mile run into a 6.5 mile run and had my mom pick me up in this baby lettuce field.
Ahhhh!! Most frustrating run ever.
After my run I ate soup!
Lots and lots… and lots and lots of soup.
Try four bowls!
My Mom’s soupy specialty. It’s a minestrone but she adds ground turkey. YUMMMM!
I think my insides were drowning in soup by the time I was finished. That’s what running on an empty tummy will do to ya.
YAY Tuesday! Today!
Typical breakfast. Fried eggs and coffee.
I spent all day designing a website for a new client I have at my actual work. Computer coding makes me frustrated. I kept banging my desk and people at my office were very concerned about my sanity.
We took a noon-time break for some Chipotle lunch.
I kept my bowl uuber nutritious and tummy happy by having:
- black beans
- fajita veggies
- steak
- hot salsa
- medium salsa
- guacamole
- double lettuce
Always gotta have the double lettuce.
Why would someone like me skip fitness today?!?!?! Because I was still frustrated and defeated by yesterday’s run. I admit it, the running god’s totally kicked my tr(ass)h yesterday and I’m still nursing my pride.
Instead of sweating like I should have, I sat on my sofa and ate a Jupiter sized bowl of herby popcorn while watching the season 3 finale of Dawson’s Creek.
Yep. I have no shame.
Tonight I hung out with my little friend Dana and I was paid (mostly) in spicy tuna sushi!!!!!!!!!!!
Call me Flipper!
