<\/a>disappointing <\/p><\/div>\n
Last night Scott and I looked at some desks for the office and figured out exactly what kind we needed.\u00a0 We didn’t buy anything but the big step of figuring out the space got accomplished so that’s something.\u00a0 When we were done it was 9:30.\u00a0 I didn’t feel like watching anything on TV so I headed up to bed to read.\u00a0 But first I had some peppermint ice cream.\u00a0 Right out of the tub like an animal.\u00a0 I didn’t want a whole bowl just a taste because I bought this ages ago and hadn’t tried it yet.\u00a0 I had about 4 bites and put it away.\u00a0 I thought it was going to be better than it was.\u00a0 I wasn’t impressed.\u00a0 Maybe if I make a shake out of it, it would be better.<\/p>\n
Speaking of shakes how much are you all making me want a Vita Mixer<\/a>.\u00a0 Holy cow guys everything you’re making looks amazing!\u00a0 I have a regular blender but don’t use it that much because of cleaning it and because I hate using one blender for savory (dressings and such) and sweet (mixed drinks, smoothies).\u00a0 I feel like the savory mixes leave a smell that gets into the sweet stuff.<\/p>\n Anyways, I read in bed till about 11 and then hit the sack.\u00a0 Looking back, I must say I felt icky yesterday.\u00a0 On days I don’t work out I feel very bloaty and yucky.\u00a0 Weird?\u00a0 I don’t know but that’s what happens.\u00a0 I was getting down on myself for not running yesterday and not sticking to one of my 2009 goals which is always make time for a run (or I should adjust it and say exercise).\u00a0 But then I got over myself because I realized stressing on the past does no good, right?\u00a0 Tomorrow is a new day.<\/p>\n I got up at 7:30ish this morning and got Rocky taken care of.\u00a0 It was perfectly chilly outside and lovely.\u00a0 I ate half a blueberry Z bar and changed into my running clothes.<\/p>\n My schedule I adopted for winter is getting up early, eating breakfast first, letting it settle for a minute, and then running.\u00a0 I did this because I didn’t want to run in the dark by myself.\u00a0 Playing it safe.\u00a0 And while I like this schedule, I really miss running first thing and getting it done so I have the rest of the day to do whatever.<\/p>\n Now that my routes and runs are getting longer, I realized that I need to eat something before I head out. Not like the old days where I could just go for a run without eating something first.\u00a0 Today I tried the 1\/2 Z bar method before my run.<\/p>\n Ugh my run was crap.\u00a0 I wasn’t hungry but felt like I didn’t have the energy to run and pick up my pace.\u00a0 My HR<\/abbr> was in the low 160s and I felt like I was plodding along.\u00a0 AND I started off the run all excited because it’s Saturday so I thought I could run my old 3.5 route because the construction guys wouldn’t be there on Saturday.<\/p>\n Wrong. They were totally there. CS<\/abbr><\/p><\/div>\n I came home and drank my CS<\/abbr> and debated on taking Rocky then or later.\u00a0 He was sunbathing so I decided to take him later with Scott.\u00a0 I changed and made myself some breakfast.<\/p>\n\u00a0 So I adjusted my route and still ran 3.5 miles.<\/p>\n<\/a>
