So, this morning I really thought this Sunday was going to be a waste. Somehow I was able to redeem myself completely. I have no idea how it happened. At around noon I finally had breakfast / lunch. It was small and simple. A piece of whole wheat toast, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter (I…… Continue reading Redemption
The last thing in the world I wanted to do last night was make a salad and prep a smoothie. Somehow I managed to force myself to do both, and I was pretty happy today that I made myself get to work in the kitchen last night. The smoothie was good – but we were…… Continue reading Hot Trot
Before I went to sleep last night I set two alarms. One for 7 o’clock and one for 7:05 AM. At 6:47 AM I was lying in bed, in that state of mind that I can usually only accomplish on a Sunday morning. I’m sort of awake, I feel like I am still sleeping. I…… Continue reading Sunday Morning Run
Well, not me. I was reading an article on half marathon training the other day. The author seemed to think that some people think that training for a half marathon is easy. (I am not one of those people, in case you were wondering.) I paid particular attention to one line in the article and…… Continue reading Who Said 1/2 Marathon Training Was Easy?
I survived the rest of Friday. It was a calmer day than Thursday had been, thankfully. Breakfast got me through until lunch without a problem – and that is always a great thing in my book. Lunch on Friday was pesto, whole wheat pasta and chicken sausage left overs. My lunch was definitely coveted a…… Continue reading The Rest of Friday
So, what is up with runner’s guilt? I was not sure if this was a real thing when it popped into my head this morning as I was driving to work. But later in the day, I googled it and it is in fact a real thing. And I am suffering from it. Which stinks.…… Continue reading Runner’s Guilt…
I spent the entire day (literally until 4pm) thinking that yesterday was Thursday. Can you imagine how heart broken I was when I [finally] realized that it was only Wednesday?? Two more days until the weekend. Not one. Obviously I was quite mixed up yesterday. But still, I made the best of it… Breakfast yesterday…… Continue reading Mixed Up…
Apparently today was bring a treat to work day at the office. So even though I was annoyed by how much time I spent in the kitchen on Sunday preparing all of my healthy food and packing lunch and breakfast and making dinner for the week, when I got to work I was so happy…… Continue reading Bring a Treat to Work Day
Saturday started out with some much needed encouragement. Brilliantly, on Friday night my friend Ned told me to call him when my alarm went off on Saturday morning. My alarm was going off at 6:30 in the morning so that I could get up and get ready to run early in order to beat this…… Continue reading Encouraged to have a good day…
Happy Fourth of July, everyone! I don’t know about you – but the last couple of days have been pretty hot here in the Providence area. Yesterday I went up to Gillette Stadium to pick up my bib number for the Harvard Pilgrim July 4th 10K. I was happy to see that some of the…… Continue reading July 4th – Another 10K
