Auntie Em, Auntie Em!!!

I think i just saw Dorthy’s house fly by…..

It is so incredibly WINDY here tonight!!!!  And raining.

I am proud to report though I woke up today!  I got almost 9 hours of sleep last night, aaaahhhhhh.  I also took some Nyquil too, I definitely have a cold.  It helped shut up my cough.

Much of today’s food went undocumented, I forgot my phone at home.  Oopsie.

BREAKFAST- 1/2 c oats, 1T ground flax, 1T almond butter, 1T pumpkin butter

SNACK- Chashew Cookie Larabar

LUNCH- more left over soup & some plain greek yogurt w/ cantaloupe and mango

SNACK- Pirates Booty & an orange

After work I had a meeting, I’m a co-chair for an annual cleanup day in our town.  The rain was not inspiring me though for my workout afterwards.  I debated on going to the gym, but bit the bullet and went for it.  My quads have been sore today from all of yesterday’s squats.  I wasn’t sure how my speed session would go.

Workout: 4 miles w/ 3 miles @ 7:30 pace

As I warmed up I wasn’t sure if I could hold the 7:30 for 3 miles, but thanks to some mind games I made it.  I originally told myself I’d do 2 miles, but then I talked myself into 2.5, then told myself that .5 more wasn’t that much and I might as well do the original workout.  Tada… 3 miles at 7:30. 

I was very pleased with my workout.  My legs felt good even though they had been sore all day.  Sometimes a run is all you need to help your sore muscles…. amazingly.

I was also very pleased to arrive home to find the hubby making dinner, yay!!!!

DINNER- pesto pizza w/ chicken & mushrooms

I also roasted some brussels sprouts.  YUMMY!

Now the hubby and I are relaxing, watching some Olympics…… while it pours and the wind howls.  This is winter in New England??!!  Craziness!  I hope the mountains aren’t losing too much snow.  Slacker me still has yet to go skiing this year!!!  But we are DEFINITELY going next weekend, the hubby even booked us a hotel one night so we can out near the ski area that night…..a mini vacation!

Tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!!!   Anything fun planned for the weekend?? The hubby & I are hitting up kettlebell after work tomorrow, then maybe heading out for dinner.  Not sure what we have for Saturday…. but Sunday I have a 16 miler planned, the hubby has a bowl-a-thon fundraiser that I might join in on and then we are headed to a friend’s house to watch the gold medal round for hockey!!!

Hope you have a great end to your work week!!!
