Track Workout & Food For Thought
It has been MONTHS since I ran at the the local track. I usually avoid going for some reason but once I get there I say to myself, WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG, THIS IS AWESOME! The track is squishy and soft and it makes my legs feel great. I make up speed workouts as I go along. I did 1 mile warm up, and then ran every other lap as fast I could for 4.25 miles, with a .75 mile cool down. I estimated my “fast laps” were anywhere from 6:45 -7:15 pace. I literally can only hold that pace for a lap. I think next time I’m…

Random Christmas Ramblings
Good morning! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I sure did. It was nice to take a break from work and blogging (not that I blog much these days) for awhile and enjoy the time with my family! I worked most of the day on Christmas Eve but then after I got out I met my family over at my grandmas house. It was lovely! Christmas morning was spent at my parents where we all opened a bunch of lovely gifts. I’m so lucky, I got a lot of nice things, including a new iPod touch! My iPod died back in July and I’ve been using my little shuffle…

Keegan Ales in Kingston
Saturday morning after our amazing dinner, Chris and I had breakfast at the Inn, which was nice! They had a pretty good spread of bagels, granola, cereal, oatmeal and fruit! Sadly, it was pouring when we got up and headed into the village of Woodstock (we walked from the Inn). After checking out the shops, we headed to Kingston. There’s not much in Kingston. Actually, I ran a race there last month with Heather. But Saturday we had other plans. We went to Keegan Ales Brewery! Chris and I each ordered a beer. I got Old Capital. It was okay–not my favorite beer, actually. Keegan Ales was the beer I…

A Trip to the Market
Thank you to everyone who commented on my last post. It means a lot to me to know that some of you are going through the same thing and I’m not alone! I feel better already. 🙂 —- Last night something important happened. (source) Some of you may already know that I have a slight obsession with the Harry Potter series. Last night Part 1 of the final movie, The Deathly Hallows came out in theaters at midnight, and I was in attendance! This has been the 5th Harry Potter movie I’ve seen at midnight (yeah, I’m a hardcore nerd like that). My friend Brendan and I waited in line…

A Lazy Sunday
Actually, I most of my Sunday was lazy…minus my eight mile run! I woke up yesterday morning and had my Trader Joe’s goods on the brain. Especially the pumpkin butter. I had to have more TJ’s cinnamon raisin bread as well…so breakfast and pre-run fuel was cinnamon raisin toast, slathered with TJ’s almond butter and pumpkin butter, with a banana. I ended up taking the banana off, since for some reason the texture of a banana on toast has been bothering me. Weird? Yes. I can eat the banana alone just fine… After waiting a few hours for my meal to digest, I headed out for an eight mile run. It felt good to…
