Whew, after two days off (why oh why Greg, I am such a fat slob!) - it felt really good to get out again today! On Sunday we went over for a BBQ - it was a friend of a friend scenario - and it was a blast! we met some awesome people, had some really good food (they had plenty of vegetarian options for me -- including these most amazing marinated portabella mushrooms). Best yet? we were able to talk track and field for much of the time - plenty of runners there. Since the Diamond League is on right now -- there was much to talk about! The daughter (~9 years old) had a bunch of autographs from Olympic high jumpers to distance runners - so it was pretty cool! Anyway - this morning I ran 27wu/28cd and 15 x :30 w/1` recovery. Ran on the dirt, alternating slightly uphill to slightly downhill (just because that is the dirt road that is ~30mins from my house! Grin/grimace home again! I wanted to do a second run today -- but I got caught up at work. I need to get back to my routine. Especially because I need to lose this weight I have gained :) Happy Tuesday that feels like a Monday! |
