4 days until the weekend!

Hey everyone!

Monday is almost over! 4 days until the weekend. Today was a pretty easy day at work, we are kind of slow right now because so many people are on vacation so I basically fooled around on facebook and runners world all day. Even my boss was on facebook so there really is not much to do these next few days.

Today was a rest day, definately needed after my 13.5 yesterday. It wasn't the best run, I havent been eating too "cleanly" and definately felt heavy and sluggish on my run. My pace was a 8:54. Oh well got it done. One of my friends I ran with gave me good advice...I was saying how it is runs like that one that make me think how am I ever going to run 26.2 and she said just to file this run away and not think about it. So that is what I am going to do. No point in stressing over it.

Today I woke up to crazy hot/humid weather here in NJ. I made myself my favorite breakfast- packet of low sugar oatmeal with half a banana sliced up and mixed in, half a banana mashed in, tons of blueberries and a spoonful of peanut butter. I promise to start remembering to take pics of my meals! Then I got to work and saw that someone brought in panera bagels for someones bday. I decided not to deprive myself and took one for later. I ended up getting hungry at about 11am so I ate part of mine, it was a french toast bagel. I have always wanted to try one and it was soooo good. Since I ate that at 11am by the time my lunch break came I was not really hungry so I went and hit up the Gap and Pier One and some other shops and just ate my yogurt and some fruit. I saved my turkey and laughing cow wrap and had it for a snack later on with a clif z bar.

I hit up Whole Foods and Trader Joes after work and bought way too many clif/luna bars but they should last a while. Also bought some premade veggie enchiladas, a big box of puffins, almond butter, and some low fat blueberry bran muffins. Looking forward to trying my new stuff out!

Well I am off to do some yoga and then start a new book. I love to read and can read super fast. On Saturday afternoon alone, I spent 3 hours sitting by my pool reading and read an entire 360 page book. (Shopaholic & Baby-I highly recommend it). The book I am starting now is a memior by a 9/11 widow. I can't remember the name of it butit looks good/sad.

Running 7 miles at 5:30 am tomorrow, ugh morning is going to come too fast. Have a good night everyone!
