I did my first outside run today and I think I was running with a smile on my face the whole time 
Stats: 4miles in about 39 minutes. I’ve really slowed down on my time off, but this was my first real run since my injury, so patience is needed!
When I got back I had one thing on my mind = Bagel! I ate half a ww bagel with AB and pumpkin butter.
And a Green Monster in honor of St.Patrick’s Day!!!
After some good stretching and a shower I am chomping on a bowl of fruit. I can’t wait until watermelon and cherries are in season <3
Happy St.Patrick’s Day!
Who’s with me on this one???
Fun Fact: I’ve been to Ireland and kissed the Blarney Stone
I hope locals really don’t pee on it like someone told me they do… I’ll see if I can dig up pictures for my lunch post.
I felt like a local because of my red hair – a tourist actually asked me for directions! Ha.

What a great way to celebrate! I’d join you but I can’t stand the GM’s
I’m glad you got to run outside and happy to hear that you’re smart enough to know it takes time and patience to get speed back- smart girl!

Oy gevalt, if you think 4 miles in 39 minutes is slow, I am running at granny pace.
I really need a bagel. That looks so good.
I’m so jealous of…1. how fast you can run! I wish I could do 4 miles in 39 minutes! 2. That you’ve been to Ireland. I’ve always wanted to go. I have family there.
i’ve kissed the blarney stone too!! erked me out though when they told a story about how people used to pee on it all the time. LOL
I’m so happy to hear about your run!!! YAY!!!!
What a great way to start the holiday!
Awesome job on the run! And I’m with you on the lucky charms
You’re off to a great (re)start with your running!
great run! this weather has put a perma-smile on my face
Congrats on being able to run again! I’d love to be able to run that far/fast!
Great run! I hope you continue injury free!
bagel and pumpkin butter…OMG i want that now! great time on those 4 miles, girl!
i am smiling just from reading that you were smiling while you were running. i can relate.
Do not buy the Watermelon yet. I just did. The produce guys cart was in the way so I had him pick me out a watermelon. OMG, $1.29 a pound and a whooping 15.71 pounds or gasp…$20.27. AND… the thickest rind I have ever seen…8.21 pounds of rind.
Congrats on being able to run. Starting out slow is a great idea. Enjoy the beautiful weather.
mmm perfect combo with the bagel. Lol i love the quote at the end!
