Hi gang!\u00a0 Yes it’s me again already!\u00a0 I know how excited you are. ;) I got up this morning ready to tackle my run like a pro!<\/p>\n

\"OHC-10-25-09_sky\"<\/p>\n

It was just starting to get light, the perfect time to head out for a peaceful morning and long run.\u00a0 I had a goal today.\u00a0 If I didn’t make it, I would not get upset just realize that it wasn’t time yet.\u00a0 Man I wanted to hit that goal.<\/p>\n

And I totally did!\u00a0 Seven miles in the bag!\u00a0 Can I get a what, what up in here!<\/p>\n

\"ChocolateI have not run 7 miles since earlier this year and to be honest, I wasn’t sure if I would make it today.\u00a0 My hamstring felt a bit tight before I even headed out.\u00a0 I decided to just shoot for the sky and see what happened.\u00a0 If I didn’t make it, that it would be okay, I would get it next time.\u00a0 I totally made it though and my hamstring didn’t bother me at all!\u00a0 My pace was a bit slower, pushing close to the 11min\/mile but I really don’t care.\u00a0 I’m happy I made my seven miles!\u00a0 GO ME!\u00a0 The weather was gorgeous today too, very cool and crisp.\u00a0 Everything was all frosted over and it easily must have been in the high 20s, low 30s this morning.<\/p>\n

I slammed a huge glass of CS<\/abbr> and then went back out to get Rocky’s walk done.\u00a0 With the wedding today, I wasn’t sure if there would be time to walk him before we needed to start getting dressed and ready to go.<\/p>\n

\"coffee,Remember my scone from yesterday?\u00a0 My reward for 7 miles today!\u00a0 Wheee!\u00a0 There’s also some 2% Fage + chocolate granola in the bowl.\u00a0 Need a better look at that plate?<\/p>\n

\"skullOoooo spooky scary!\u00a0 I got it at Target, it would be the bomb if it wasn’t melanine.\u00a0 What is with that popping up all over the place lately?!<\/p>\n

The scone filled me up enough that I didn’t eat the yogurt, I went ahead and put that back in the fridge.\u00a0 I will come to regret this decision later.<\/p>\n

After working on yesterday’s post, I got up and started making Sunday breakfast.\u00a0 I wanted it to be veggie packed to make sure we get in our servings today.<\/p>\n

When we are going out, either to a party or some sort of function where I’m not quite sure what the food situation is going to be like, I like to stock up on fruit and veggies before hand.\u00a0 That way, I know for sure I got all my servings in for the day and I can feel good about whatever I eat at the party\/event we attend.\u00a0 Plus I also don’t have to worry about making sure I get in a serving of fruits or veggies at the event which can sometimes be difficult.\u00a0 It causes me less stress and I’m able to relax and have a much better time knowing I took care of the bod before hand. :D<\/p>\n

\"purpleYesterday, Inggrie gave me two purple potatoes to try out.\u00a0 She got a bunch of them from the Farmer’s Market last week, so I took two off her hands.\u00a0 I chopped them up and made roasted potatoes with them.\u00a0 She said if you make mashed potatoes, the whole dish comes out purple!\u00a0 Good idea for Hallween if you are having a party or attending one and you need a dish.\u00a0 Make purple mashed potatoes!<\/p>\n

\"Fritatta\"<\/a>More veggies came in fritatta form!\u00a0 Egg whites and two eggs mixed with:<\/p>\n
