It’s still very windy here in Englewood, Fl! This mornings run was cold and the wind was on my face for the first half of it. I kept telling myself “I’m almost there. I’m almost there…” the whole time.
Yeah, the thing is, I tried a new route today and I had no idea how long the route I tried really was!
I ended up doing a loop that was just under 6 miles. Next time I’ll know when it’s almost over for real.
When I got back I had a little bit of cereal before stretching. I usually avoid stretching at all costs, but my legs have been tight constantly and it’s starting to bug. I figured having a little food would give me more patience to stretch. It did.
The rest of breakfast was toast with PB and banana and a piece of cranberry bread. Some milk for protein and coffee for warmth.
Ollie is one of the family pets. Having animals around helps me feel at home 
Have a good day!
Pb-banana toast and coffee! *drool*
Interesting what you said about stretching. Why do you avoid it? I occasionally encounter someone who is dead set against is, which I’ve never really heard a convincing reason for. But I recently discovered that I had been making an injury worse by stretching too much. So now I am more wise to the fact that stretching does not always = good..
I am awful with stretching. I usually think the 20 min yoga session I do once a week is good enough but I know it’s not.
PS- Thanks for the beautiful Christmas card! I just got it today. 🙂
Yeah! I got yours too! Love the phrase on the card 🙂
I’m bad at stretching too. I usually do it but for a very short time!
oh i that puppy is cute
Ollie is adorable!!!
6 miles?! Awesome! I’m not even sure I could run 6 minutes 😉

I hate stretching. I wish I never had to do it! But I know it’s good for me.
I rarely stretch either and its biting me in the ass. I wish I was patient enough to do it, and do it right!
I’m awful at remembering to stretch. I even own a foam roller, which I never use. I know I should. I know it’s good for me, will help my body feel better, will help prevent injury, etc, etc, but it hurts and I’m lazy. hahahha
I am making it a point to use my foam roller more in the next year!
Stretching is my weakness. I never do it!
I am really bad about stretching too. I don’t know what it is, but when I’m done with my run I just want the whole workout to be done. I have to get better about it!
6 miles–wow. I usually do 1.5 and feel like an Olympian… 🙂
