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!
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.

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.

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.
Julie says
I really need a bagel. That looks so good.
Lauren says
Oy gevalt, if you think 4 miles in 39 minutes is slow, I am running at granny pace. 🙁
