Give Us a Minute Alone

9 Jun

By the time we got to Ben’s parents and caught up with everyone it was noon. I wanted to run, but know the Florida heat can kill be brutal. I did 3 slow miles. They were mostly slow because I still have a knot in my left hammy. It hurts.

I stretched it out while eating watermelon and a chocolate chip cookie. Note the birthmark on my left shin in case you have to identify my body.IMG_4619 (800x600)

After the run I took a picture in front of trash can, because I like to class it up every now and then. I smelled worse than that trash though, trust this.trashy run

After some quality time stretching I made lunch. Ben’s mom always has the most amazing salads on hand. Today she had chicken salad and potato salad (both drenched in mayo and containing nuts and dried fruit). I try to lessen the caloric damage by using them as toppings and dressing to my salad SmileIMG_4626 (800x600)

While out running errands I begged in the most embarrassing way asked if we could stop at Dunkin Donuts.IMG_4632 (600x800)

Give us a minute alone, please.IMG_4635 (600x800)

    I live in Central Florida and can only fit my runs in after work. This time of year makes me wish I still lived in CT.

    Hope your hammy feels better soon. I hate when I get knots in my hammy. That is when the roller becomes my BF. 🙂

      I’m probably talking DD up too much at this point 🙂 But, I like it.

    The heat here has been insane! I slowly get used to through the summer but I’m never very fast when running in the 90’s.

    The heat here is crazy, too! I’ve been doing all my yoga / exercising indoors lately.

    I love DD coffee! So so so good, especially iced on a hot day like today 😀
