I should feel like a loser posting here that I didn't do my 8 miles on Saturday like I said I would. I could wallow in self-loathing behavior but I didn't. Today is a new day and I'm jumping right back in. I was scheduled to run 4 miles today but my slacker behavior set in a little and time crunched as I was/am, I was seriously considering just forgetting today's run and running tomorrow. I didn't though! This is the part that I wish my theme music for the day was playing while you read this post..."Gumption" from the movie The Holiday. Love that little tune!

| image found here Moving along.....I did my two miles and ran a comfortable pace. Low and behold my two miles looked like this: Mile 1 - 11:16 Mile 2 - 12:06 Avg Pace - 11:41 Calories - 341 I was so worried that I lost all that I had gained due to my lack of consistency in the running deptartment. I come back even stronger! That and for motivation I wore my Seattle RNR shirt. That really makes me feel too cool for school! I am so jazzed!!! Add that to a 0.9 loss this week and you've got a pretty happy little lady. I don't know if this is a shameless plug for Cytomax or not but today instead of Nuun I had poured in a Cytomax packet I had stashed in swag bag from Seattle RNR. Hello!?! Delish. Could've been due to the fact that it made me feel like a runner becasue that's what they had for refreshments along the course in Seattle or maybe because it was pretty darn hot and I felt super parched by the end of the run. Either which way, I love it's lemony flavor and I just might have to look into purchasing some more. DELISH! I tell ya!! So now it's time for some stretching and then off to my last 12 hour night shift for the week. Tomorrow is a 7 miler and maybe a spin class. |
