Picking Up Speed

by Heather on December 17, 2009

I didn’t make it to bed at 10 pm like I had hoped last night – it was closer to 11 pm BUT we finished writing out our Christmas cards.  Matt is going to pick up stamps today and we will stamp and seal them tonight.  I also spent a few minutes reading in bed – I am trying to read a little every night (even if its just a few pages); I hope it helps my brain focus on something besides work, the holidays, running, etc.

I woke up at 6 am today – didn’t even hit the snooze button – and made it over to our apartment gym where I ran for 60 minutes (the highest amount of time allowed on the treadmill).  Although I didn’t run 7 miles, I did make it to 6.5.  I did a mix of speed intervals to try to keep things interesting…as interesting as you can make running on a stationary object.  At least I was able to catch up with Meredith and Matt.

Before running, I enjoyed a Fig Newman

December 17, 2009 001After a nice hot shower, I enjoyed a breakfast sandwich on a Food for Life English Muffin

On my sandwich was soy nut butter, sliced honeycrisp apple and sliced banana

December 17, 2009 006I was going to eat the rest of the apple and banana with my breakfast but I’m stuffed!  Instead, I will bring it to work for a mid-morning snack. 

December 17, 2009 003As I was watching the Today show this morning, I was thinking…Are you a Today show or Good Morning America fan?

Today show all the way! I love Ann Curry :)

Yay for getting your run in so early!
I’m not a Today Show or GMA fan. I think they’re both terrible and don’t even report news anymore. I watch BBC News.

I like the today show, but I agree with Melissa. They report on gossip and do silly segments like plane watching.

Today Show, all the way!
Whenever I make goals to get to sleep by a certain time, it inevitably fails. I think it’s because I think about it too much and psych myself out.
Nice job getting all your cards out! I’m close…

I know I’m late to the party, but I feel the need to chime in – I LOVE GOOD MORNING AMERICA! I have been watching since I was a kid and continue to watch every morning. They can be a little goofy sometimes, but it makes me smile in the morning!
