Morning and Happy Monday 🙂 Christmas is getting closer and I’m getting excited! This morning I did 6 miles and 8 minute abs. I felt full of energy and kept a good pace (for me). It was 55 degrees out this morning. That is super cold for me, but when I am running I warm up so fast that I…

Sunday breakfast! This is a change from the norm – I had a big pancake with PB for breakfast and pineapple on the side. The BF impressively cut the pineapple – first he cored it, cut the skin off and finally cut it into chunks. The pancake was from Hodgson Mill, their Multi-grain pancake mix. The BF didn’t have any…

Before my long run I had half a spiced pumpkin pie Clif bar, and ate the rest when I got back. After the run I took way too long to eat a real meal. I didn’t eat until 2 and a half hours later! That is a big no-no for me. I hope I don’t feel it on my next…

No Run – Today is a rest day since I have a long run tomorrow morning. I wanted to make it to yoga, but didn’t :(. I did go for a long walk and stretch out a little. Hmmm, I don’t know what else I should do but I still have a lot of energy to get out. Maybe the…
