go fish <\/p><\/div>\n

Good morning guys!\u00a0 I had a new snack last night while we watched TV.\u00a0 Whole grain fishies!\u00a0 Along with some peppermint tea.\u00a0 I have to say that my first taste of them, I wasn’t too impressed.\u00a0 They didn’t quite have the salty umph of regular fishies and that’s what I was looking for.\u00a0 I’m craving salt at the moment. ;)\u00a0 But they grew on me and now I really like them!\u00a0 I did not wrap presents, boo on me!\u00a0 I decided to wait until the rest of my packages arrive, which is today and tomorrow, then I’ll wrap them.<\/p>\n

I hit the hay around 10:30pm and read for a bit.\u00a0 Then it was lights out by 11pm.\u00a0 Brisingr isn’t really thrilling me too much at the moment.\u00a0 I know it’s a YA book, but it seems written as simply as possible.<\/p>\n

So much for my plans to get up early this morning, it was 10 of 8am again when I crawled out of bed.\u00a0 I got Rocks taken care of and the deck was still covered with ice.\u00a0 Grrr!\u00a0 While I was out with him, I heard the bus go by so I knew school was on a normal schedule this morning, which means the roads must be alright.<\/p>\n

I ate breakfast first to give it time to warm up a bit outside, still playing it safe.<\/p>\n

\"breakfast<\/a>

breakfast <\/p><\/div>\n

Breakfast was the same as yesterday and I made too much.\u00a0 Didn’t eat that whole bowl, probably left a 1\/3 of it.\u00a0 I haven’t been too hungry in the mornings lately.\u00a0 Which isn’t odd, sometimes during my salt craving time, my appetite goes way down.\u00a0 Had breakfast with some coffee and creamer.<\/p>\n

\"CS\"<\/a>

CS<\/abbr><\/p><\/div>\n

I read blogs for a bit trying to get caught up and commenting so you all don’t think I forgot about you! :D\u00a0 And then I couldn’t take sitting inside anymore and had to get out for a run.\u00a0 I started my run at 9am, so I was only sitting around for an hour, that shows how much I was jonesing to get outside! :p\u00a0 I decided I would just run on the road instead of the sidewalk because the road was less likely to be icy.\u00a0 And it was fine!\u00a0 I could see small icy patches before I was on top of them so I was able to avoid them easily.\u00a0 Hooray!<\/p>\n

It felt so nice to be outside again and running.\u00a0 It is amazing how bummed out and actually a little cranky I get when I cannot get out to run.\u00a0 This amazes me!\u00a0 Considering I only started running in July, I never thought I would be one who would love it.\u00a0 Running was a necessary evil for me, I knew I wouldn’t lose weight or build up my conditioning if I didn’t run.\u00a0 Now I’m at the stage where I can’t not run.\u00a0 Being outside and running is such an energizing feeling for me.\u00a0 It’s the time to myself where I can think about other things, make plans, think of blog entries, decide on menus and anything else that needs my focus.\u00a0 Plus I’m kicking ass because when you run, that’s exactly what you’re doing, kicking some ass. :D\u00a0 So many people have told me how “hardcore” I must be because I’m running in the cold and I think they might think I’m being flippant or something when I mention that it’s not a big deal.\u00a0 Which is not how I mean to sound.\u00a0 When you have the proper gear and find out what works with you and your body, you can run in any weather.\u00a0 It really isn’t a big deal.\u00a0 And I prefer the cold.\u00a0 It is so much more refreshing and invigorating.\u00a0 The heat, especially if it’s humid outside, can almost seem like a barrier that I am running through.\u00a0 A resistance that I don’t need.\u00a0 Plus when it’s hot, you start sweating right away even if you aren’t doing anything.\u00a0 In the cold, if I sweat that means I’m working it!<\/p>\n

Okay, sorry for the tangent!\u00a0 I just feel really good after my run today! :lol: I did 3.5 miles and almost ran past my house!\u00a0 During the last half I picked up my pace and was running along nicely thinking about I don’t even remember what, and realized I was at my driveway already!\u00a0 Oh I guess I better stop. :p<\/p>\n

I came back in and had my CS<\/abbr>, then headed upstairs to shower.\u00a0 Rocky’s walk will be later.\u00a0 My shower was awesome and now I’m in some comfy sweats ready to tackle the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
