1:17:16 AP 9:40 Slept till 7:30 and ran with Jeff this morning. I love this weather! It's amazing! I know I keep saying that but...it's why I love running so much. The first part of the run was okay but I was feeling quite sore by the end. I was getting mad at Jeff for running so fast cause it's supposed to be a "slow" run today. We weren't running that fast. He reminded my that he isn't doing "other stuff" during the week (my 20 min Jillian workout that kicked my butt) and he rested Thurs. He encourage me to push through the last 2 miles cause I was giving up and slowing down. I told myself that this is how I'll feel in the marathon and I have to push through it. My legs feeling tired and sore, etc. So, I pushed through and pulled out an 8:57 on the last mile. I'm so excited for next Sat! Excited to run a new marathon! Get a few days away with Jeff! Take a break from church/primary cause I need it! I bought something called "Whole Grain Creation" in the freezer section at Costco yesterday that I'll eat this week. I didn't eat enough yesterday and I was starving during my run this morn so that prob didn't help. It has wheatberries, barley and quinoa in it with cranberries and almonds. It's packed with protein, fiber and 100% healthy whole grains. 3/4 cup is 220 calories. I'll probably do 1/2 cup each day. You keep it in the freezer and just warm it up in the microwave. I tried it last night and it's yummy. I need to eat clean but eat enough right? So excited for more tapering next week! I'll take naps as many days as possible! Woo hoo! LOVE this time of year! I decorated yesterday for fall and for the best holiday ever that's coming up! Guess who's turning 40 on Halloween? I wanted to run 3 marathons the year before/of turning 40 and it's happening. Great feeling!
