While on my long run this morning I thought, “I like my blog readers, I should tell them this…” It was one of those random, yet deep and meaningful thoughts that run through your brain as you are running through the streets by yourself.
I know that there are a ton on blogs out there and I totally appreciate that you stop by here to see what’s going on with “that red headed girl who blogs about running and eats too much ice cream”.
Always feel free to comment or email me with questions, comments, complaints 🙂 or general feedback/suggestions about R.E.R – Thanks for reading!
Now on to other things I thought about on my run:
– Food
– Wedding stuff
– How I would quit my job if I could
– Dyeing Easter Eggs/making an Easter cake
I ran 14 miles today and it took me 6 minutes long than last week – that’s almost 30 more seconds a mile! If I want to speed up my time I really have to work for it. This includes pushing myself on runs, but also getting enough:
1. Sleep
2. Rest (for my legs) and cross training
3. Fuel
Before I left I had an english muffin with BB
I could not decide between oatmeal or a yogurt bowl when I got back and showered. I almost had both, but decided I should make a HUGE yogurt bowl since I eat oatmeal a lot during the week. I added even more cereal and BB after I took this pic:
thanks for answering!!!why aren´t u using the treadmill any more?
Hi Sol,
Thanks for commenting 🙂
I do understand a little Spanish, but I’m not fluent. Yes, my family is Mexican – both my parents.
I used to run on the treadmill all the time, but I had a TV to watch so I wouldn’t get bored. Now I run outside. I do get bored, but most of the time I have a lot to think about. It takes me over 2 hours to run 14 miles, so at some point I run out of things to think about and just want it to be over!!!
Well we like you too!
hi,my name is Sol from Argentina(do u know some spanish?may be u understand what my name is)Is your family mexican?I really love your blog,but u see,i do not write if i do not have sth specific ti say or ask.I train on the gym,I do different things and run a little in the treadmill,but i find it boring.what do u think when u run for not to get bored?where do u run?I do not have a near open place or park to run,and,besides,i am really shy.How much time it takes to u to run 14 miles!!it is a lot,congrats!!!what is u work?
14 miles! Wow! Did it feel pretty good?
I love it when people take the time to read and/or leave comments too. It means so much, doesn’t it? That they would take that time. I really think there is a blogging community.
When I am running, I tend to fantasize a lot, especially about being on the beach!
I haven’t done a really long run in at least a year. I miss them. The only bad thing about them is that I’d often eat a big breakfast before running so I wouldn’t hit a calorie bottom (I’m not fond of feeling like my stomach is going to implode with hunger) and then I’m so hungry afterward that I eat another big meal. It seems like it kind of cancels out the benefits of the exercise. I’d like to get back into long runs but balance it with better eating.
Well we like you too! Happy Easter!
