Dear half marathon,
I'm getting ready for you. I am doing my training runs or walks or whatever I can manage to do. Today was a great one! I did intervals walking and jogging, and on the way back I was feeling so good and the wind was perfect so I jogged a whole mile straight. I am excited to see you in a month and a half. Please be kind to me. K-thanks!
Sincerely,
Rebekah
I came around the corner on my 4.3 mile walk/jog around the very HILLY neighborhood and saw what I thought was a pair of fake geese by the road. I quickly realized that I was mistaken and the geese hurried ahead of me into the road as if they were racing me. This is a new one for me. Had a wonderful time out in the SUNSHINE this morning! It was the perfect temperature. Cherry trees, pear trees, forsythia, daffodils, TULIPS *my favorite, and all sorts of other springy plants entertained me today.
More grocery goodies. Excited to try the cassava chips flavored with KAFFIR lime!! Also, I got some chips made from lentils and chick peas and flavored with cucumber dill, I couldn't wait and have already tried them...pretty darn tasty!
Breakfast this AM, shredded wheat, raisin bran crunch, banana, and chia seeds with almond milk. Good way to start the day even if my banana was a little overripe.
Decided yesterday evening as I was leaving for work that I really wanted to get outside today so Dausset Trails here I come. I went by the gym first for strength: BICEPS and BACK and then decided to do some CARDIO (just in case I took a leisurely hike through the woods). I ran by the house for a quick ham and mustard sammie then off to enjoy nature. These frog eggs were sunning in a collection of water on a big rock by the creek. I managed to eek out some jogging along the trail off and on and manufactured some vitamin D in the super bright noontime sun. Everywhere you can see the signs of spring popping up with little buds on all the trees and not to forget the sniffy nose = )
