Creme Brulee French Toast and Bacon |
I didn't get to go on the run by the river because I forgot to pack any bottoms to run in. I'm a bit stubborn at times but not so much that I'll run in jeans. So after breakfast we headed toward home.
I was still full at lunchtime so I snacked here and there. And I was so tired, which was weird because I got a nice full night of sleep. Anyway, by 3:30 I dragged my half-asleep butt off the couch and went for a run. It was a trial run in the truest sense, I had to see how I would feel before Sunday. My Garmin was dead, which is probably a good thing, so I don't know what my pace or distance was. According to Google maps it was roughly 3.5 miles. I forgot to look at the clock when I got back so I don't know how long I was out there, but I know I was running s.l.o.w. In fact, when I stopped running I wasn't breathing hard at all and hardly ever broke a sweat.

Dinner was weird. Miguel made tipico and I didn't think beans were a good idea. So I ate a package of frozen corn in butter sauce. And I followed that up later with lemon sorbet. By about a half-hour ago I'd polished off the whole pint. Corn and sorbet. I told you it was weird. Oh, and I ate the last chocolate chip cookie. If this kind of eating doesn't get me loaded up for Sunday than nothing will. I'm not drinking enough water though, I need to go heavy on the water tomorrow.
So you might recall I made a goal to blog 30 out of 31 days in January. I didn't quite make it, posting 25 days out of the month. Eh, close enough. But I'm going back to my 2-3 times a week routine of posting. I love this blog and I love writing but it's too much for me to write every day. If you're newer in your weight loss journey I hope that the near-daily posts were helpful. But I will try to focus on at least a daily comment on my Facebook page. I have to get my motivational fix too!
That's about it. My next post might just be a race report! The only other thing is what to wear on Sunday. I'm thinking bright pink might put me in the right mood. With a skirt, who doesn't feel good in a running skirt? Or maybe a blue top, blue is sort of my color. If I decide tomorrow maybe I'll post a picture and you can tell me what you think. Decisions, decisions. Oh, finally opened my race packet, I'm number 825. Say "Hi" if you see me out there!
p.s. I can't believe this is the first time I've used Trial Run as a blog post title.
Take the time you need to heal and feel better. The school where I teach has been slammed by type B flu and the kids are taking at least a week to recover.
ReplyDeleteNope, I love eating cereal out of cups, glasses and mugs - it's the best but my mom thinks it's weird.
ReplyDeleteWhy have I never thought of that??? I get the BEST tips from you, Michelle! (The first I remember "stealing" from you was to order the kids taco kit at Chipotle - freakin' genius!)
ReplyDeleteNow I want cereal. :-)
I soo wish I had trails around here to run on. I can't complain about running along the water at all, but there is something about being immersed in nature that is so relaxing.
ReplyDeleteBright pink would fit you perfectly! :) I think posting 2-3 times a week is absolutely fine. Don't worry about it!
