May 29 - June 4
Day 150: 0 Miles - It was the plan to go run my 9 miler this morning so that I could spend aaaalll of Memorial Day with my sweet boyfriend. However, a surprised thunderstorm squashed that idea. It turns out that it worked for the best anyway. We spent today with a "pirate brunch" - what MS had in the fridge and pantry is what we got to eat. He made the great tasting rice bowl with chorizo, onions, and a fried egg. Yum! Then it was off to IKEA!
Day 151: 9.01 Miles - Another thunderstorm nearly threatened my run, but it thankfully blew through early enough that by the time I was up and moving it was just uber cloudy and kinda muggy. The lake was full of runners and not really cyclists. I realized not even half way through my run that I left my fuel (fig newtons this time) in car. Damn! So I flipped back early to run past the car to eat some cookies before finishing the last 3 miles. It was a hard run, especially during the last half. I just have to tell myself not all runs are easy and good. Afterwards I drove to my boyfriend's where he was cooking me some oatmeal and fried eggs. Yum!! Our adventure for the day was driving out to Terrell to visit Ham's Orchard. It was crazy busy, but we had yummy BBQ and got to shop their general store (hello peaches and preserves!) before getting some ice cream! Fun fun fun!
Day 152: 0 Miles - A very busy morning! A very busy afternoon. A very busy night! What did I do today? Well. I got my car registration sticker and got some groceries. Baked three dozen cookies for a bake sale. Took my cat to the vet and dropped him off at home. Got coffee before delivering the cookies to the bake sale. Went to work and was there 20 minutes early (that's 11:40am, people!). At work I was go go go and everything. I finally sat down during dinner and had my first full meal, which made me slow down. Thankfully I had an assistant today so I was able to sneak into the back to take a webinar. Then when I got home I watched a show for an hour before doing laundry. Plus! I had to fight the urge to snack because I had to start my fast for blood work the next morning! Boo!
Day 153: 0 Miles - Happy Global Running Day! I didn't get to run today, but I hope everyone got the opportunity! I had to get up uber early for a Wednesday to drive 30 minutes to get my blood drawn at the doctor's office. "Are you fasting?" Yes, very nice nurse, yes I am. That growling isn't a tiger in my pocket. That's my tummy! Hee hee! I gobbled down a banana and an almond chocolate bar in the car before getting coffee. I feel zapped! All the energy from yesterday has gone! I took a nap during my second part of my lunch hour, and proceeded to sleep for an hour. Oops! Thankfully, my boss didn't notice and that I can use my two 15 minute breaks to make up for that!
Day 154: 5.51 Mile - I was worried that the park was going to be flooded today because of aaaalll the rain that we've been having here. However, it wasn't so bad. I had more energy than I was expecting this morning so I got in a good 5.5 before it was time to go home. I may have been able to push out a another 0.50 if I had to, but I once I saw my car I was ready to go home. During my run it totally rain on me. It was a light, but enough to push most people away from the park (it was just me and one cyclist making loops), which was nice. I gotta say, no matter how long the distance is, running in the rain makes you a badass!
Day 155: 0 Miles - A long and slow day. But afterwards MS and had dinner with some friends before heading to an epic concert in Deep Ellum. Even though it was National Donut Day we couldn't handle the long lines after the concert so we headed on home!
Day 156: 0 Miles - Work was loooong, but uber busy! Ready for the weekend!
Total Miles this week: 14.52 Miles
Miles to Date: 276.21 Miles
