Jam Packed Thursday

Afternoon! This is one heck of a late post but we've been cah-razy busy 'round here. The boys were ready to go as soon as they woke up! Bouncing off the walls and everything. I had mandatory coffee and a pre-run snack of sammie thin and PB.


I dropped the dudes off at school and headed home to prep for my run. It takes me FOREVER to get ready for a longer run. How about you? I should have laid out my gear the night before but I was too lazy lol. This is how cool I am.  Not sure what's wrong with my one eye haha.


I had planned on doing a 10 miler but ended up doing 11! It was a bit by accident. I headed in one direction but the head wind was too strong. I decided to turn around at mile 1 and go in the other direction. Lake Hefner's running trail is 10 miles all the way around. I took more walking breaks than I would have liked - boo. But I did it! I'm proud of myself. I did stop for a restroom break and 2 or 3 stretching breaks. The knees and booty muscles started hurting and stiffening around mile 4. At miles 4 and 8, I took Gu shots.


Some lake shots:


Still can't believe I ran all the way around that beast! Raise the roof! My sweaty, post-run face. SESSY.


As soon as I got home, I made a Green Monster.


My GM contained:
  • 2 handfuls spinach
  • 1T flax
  • 1.25 cups soy milk
  • 1 banana
  • 2 handfuls of ice
After a quick shower, The Lover took me to Jersey Mike's for lunch. I was still pretty hongree! I had their veggie wrap and some of The Lover's Cheetos.


 My wrap contained:
  • Provolone cheese
  • Swiss cheese
  • grilled green peppers, onions
  • lettuce
  • mayo
Overall, it was pretty good but WAY too much mayo. Now, we're working on more garage sale fun and Big Sis and I are going to hit up the Asian grocery store. Woohoo!

Does it take you forever to get ready for runs? Seems like I pack up the whole house lol!
