Hi guys!\u00a0 I did not “hop” out of bed this morning but I didn’t lay around for a few minutes either.\u00a0 I got up and got moving!\u00a0 It was disgustingly humid this morning for my run.\u00a0 I was a sweating beast!\u00a0 I did 3.5 of the most glorious miles.\u00a0 I felt strong and like I was flying! Funnily enough I ran the same distance and had the same time as on Tuesday. I even had the same average and highest HR<\/abbr> as on Tuesday yet today I burned less calories.\u00a0 Oh body, you are a trickster!<\/p>\n

The highlight of my run was almost getting run over. Fun! I’m on the left side of the road running towards traffic ( I know that sounds wrong on so many levels but it’s the proper way to run) and this chick was driving right at me.\u00a0 I was waiting for her to scoot over so, you know, she didn’t hit me and all.\u00a0 It’s not like you could miss me, jeeze the sun was shining on me and you know how women’s running clothes are, they make us look like freaking rainbow sherbet sundaes. But nope, chick was headed right for me.\u00a0 I moved over and started running in the ditch which I do not recommend, and right before she got to me she realized I was there and swerved over.\u00a0 Good times!<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

Aside from that the run was amazing! I slammed two glasses of CS<\/abbr> and was out the door for Rocky’s walk. He proceeded to act like a complete fool so we were not out long. Once home, he got a time out and I stretched.\u00a0 Then I showered to get the running stank off and woke up my loves.<\/p>\n

\"Coffee,<\/p>\n

And then I went to visit my other love, coffee.\u00a0 Rich and dark, how I prefer just about everything in my life. I’m just kidding, not everything has to be rich.\u00a0 It was late in the morning and I wasn’t super hungry, and that means yogurt and granola.\u00a0 Today I added a nectarine and used fruit and nut granola (by Bear Naked) and it was delicious! I love peaches but I will go for a nectarine over a peach every time.\u00a0 This was so good that when I was done, I wanted more!<\/p>\n

I did some bloggy stuff and other worky officey type stuff.\u00a0 I read blogs and tried to get caught up a bit.\u00a0 Then I finally whipped up some lunch.<\/p>\n

\"Salad<\/a><\/p>\n
