AM - Had a random meeting this morning so I got out for a run before work.  It reminded me why I don't run in the mornings.  So cold (30 degrees) and so sluggish.  I'm worthless before I've been up for a few hours, had some breakfast, and had a few cups of coffee.  

6 miles around the neighborhood with 7 hard-effort-hills thrown in.  4 hill-repeats up the big hill and 3 smaller hills as I came to them. I'm really impressed I actually did 6 miles because I wanted to quit after 1 and told myself I could quit after 3.

Then I was going to go to Centergy but I ate nachos and drank the most delicious beer in the world (Blue Moon Spiced Amber Ale, it tastes like cinnamon and nutmeg and is SO good).  I make good choices.  What was I talking about the new plan's yoga requirements again?!

Nice work on those hills. Blue moon is one of my favs. I haven't tried the spiced amber yet. Where did you get it?

Albertsons but unfortunately it only seems to come in a blue moon sampler pack, I want just that kind only!
