2017 OMaD - Week 32

My on-going shoe drama (well, not really drama, but problems). Continuing with the plant-based cooking too!

August 6 - 12

Day 218: 3.10 Miles - So, I had set my alarm to get me up early so that I could get a descent run in before meeting up with the family. I got up, but I was moving slow. So I only got a 5k in, which isn't too bad. We got to the family's house on time, and we headed out to Trinity Forest Aerial Adventure Park. This was a lot of fun. Buut, I want to say that the second round we tried a harder course, and it was hard from the get-go. M was in front of me so I would have to ask how he did something. I will have to admit I little-cried a couple of times cause I was getting tired and was doubting myself in my ability to do something. But I did it! After that course my arms were pooped. So I just watched my siblings do another course.

After that morning fun, we had a nice lunch before heading back to the house. I basically passed out on the couch with M for about an hour. We eventually left for home where we worked on wedding stuff. We had a nice dinner at a new spot (Fish City Grill). Then I basically passed out again. The heat totally sucked out our energy.

Day 219: 0 Miles - M had to work today. So it was just me having adventures. I visited my doctor to hear my blood results (I'm healthy people!). Then I spent the day with my mom and sister-in-law. We stopped by the running store to get fitted for shoes again. I was fitted for an 11wide in my Saucony Omni, but I liked the feeling of the 11.5. I felt good when I left. We had Greek for lunch (YUM!) before continuing on our adventure before my brother and sister-in-law had to leave for Houston. At the end of the day Mom and I headed to Old Navy to continue the hunt for a dress for my bridal shower (I wanted something other than the ordinary dresses I wear to work). I eventually found one, which is pretty and is flowy loose. It's the style with the elastic waste that let's it drape around the bust. I'm not use to that look, but it was comfy, which is nice. It'll look great with the straw hat I bought for it. Plus, I have a cardigan that would look so cute with it if it's chilly in the room! Yay!

Day 220:  0 Miles - So, I tried running in m 11.5 wide shoes. And, my legs were still tired and my feet hurt. I think that might be do to lacing of the shoe (unknown at the moment), but I think the shoes are too big - even as a wide. Even M thinks so. Soooo. I'm going to try the 11 regulars I bought online and see how they work out. I hate this shoe drama!

Day 221:  2.50 Miles - Day Three of cooking from a plant-based cookbook Forks of Over Knives Cookbook - Pinto Bean Stew with Hominy and Spicy Cilantro Pesto. Pesto was made with tofu, and it was surprisingly really good! M did all the prepping of veggies and made the pesto for me so all I had to do was whip the stew together when I got home.

Day 222: 3.10 Miles -Sooooo. I ran today! A complete 5k with minimal discomfort. No burning aches. Very line shin stuff. I ran the the original Saucony Omni 11 regulars that I ordered online last week. Sooo. Maybe my mind was playing with me, and there is nothing wrong the shoes? I think I'm going to keep them and exchange the running store pair for the correct size.

Day 223: 0 Miles - No gym again. I totally slept in, which was very much needed. M had the day off, which involved him running errands including getting x-rays done to take the chiropractor next week. I didn't have much in the prospects for lunch that sounded awesome to me, so M loves me enough to pick up a sammy from Which Wich, which is one of our favorite sandwich places in town, and brought it to work. It was really nice to spend the lunch hour together. Of course, I really wanted to go home with him and take a nap instead of going to work.

Day 224: 0 Miles - Work, work, and more work!
