An Update!

I’m back!!! Last night I had my first college exam in oh, about three years? Maybe more? I think I did fairly well, but I guess I will find out next week! When I got home I just wanted to chill out and relax. Unfortunately, this week I have not been taking many photos so today I’m just going do a quick update.

Wednesday night Chris and I were planning on going to the gym, but after stepping outside I realized it was way too nice out to be inside working out. We ended up running around Albany after work. I had wanted to do 5-6 miles, just to see if my endurance was still going strong. We ran for a total of 60 minutes, completing 6.25 miles! I felt so strong, I probably could have ran a few more miles, actually. But by the end, I ended up feeling a bit tight/sore in my right leg, and I noticed turning corners kind of hurt it more. How strange. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I think running has just been getting to my body lately.

After our run, we went to Bombers for a quick meal, since we were both starving! I know, its probably not the best post-workout food choice, but I was craving bbq tofu! I actually noticed that their tacos are not as good anymore. That’s a shame, Bombers. 🙁 I really want to re-create their bbq tofu, so that’s something I may try in the future.

This morning I wanted to get another quick run in, so I got up super early to hop on the treadmill before work, and ran 2.5 miles in 25 minutes, at about a 10:15/pace. I still don’t know how I feel about running so early. I tend to be hungry when I wake up, but I don’t eat anything before running. Since it was such a short distance it wasn’t too bad, but I can’t imagine running any more than three miles before work!

I’m planning on a long-ish run on Sunday, but depending on the weather I may do it on the treadmill. Not sure though. I just want to make sure I finish the Squirrelly Six mile trail race next weekend strong, as well as the Stockade-athon on November 7! Since the squirrelly trail race is on Halloween morning, I’m thinking of dressing up. I have a bee costume from last year that I’m thinking about wearing. Do you this I could run six miles in this thing?

Tonight Chris and I have dinner plans, but we’re not sure exactly what we’re doing yet. I’m super excited about tomorrow’s blogger meet-up/roadtrip! We’re going to Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods! Its blogger Heaven! 🙂 I can’t wait to be with these girls again!
