Early Birthday Celebration

This afternoon, after making mashed sweet potatoes to bring to my Aunt and Uncle’s house tomorrow afternoon, I went for a run.  I decided to run 3 miles but ended up running about 3.25 – today’s run was much easier than yesterday’s – I ran around the lake behind my parent’s townhouse – it is mostly flat.  Cranky knee is really bothering me after yesterday’s hilly course.  I have been icing it and taking some Motrin – I’m think it will be ok for tomorrow.

Matt and I also walked up to the grocery store to stretch our legs a little more – we picked up some bananas, tomatoes and brown sugar – my mom was out.

Before heading out, we had some salsa and Tostitos for a snack/lunch.  We got this cranberry salsa at the Farmers Market yesterday – it was so delicious!

For dinner, we tried to clean out the leftover turkey from Sunday – I was ok with having another Turkey Club sandwich – they are my favorite you know.

I made my turkey sandwich again on toasted white bread with Miracle Whip, 2 slices of bacon, lettuce and tomato.

With the turkey club sandwich we had roasted asparagus and the leftover brussels sprouts with apple from Sunday.

Look at this sandwich – now tell me that doesn’t look good!?!

After dinner, we had a mini-birthday celebration.  My birthday is on Saturday so we had a cupcake to celebrateI enjoyed the cake part – the frosting wasn’t the greatest so I scraped it off. 

We may have celebrated my birthday today, but it is actually my sister’s birthday!  Happy Birthday Laura!

To bed early tonight – I have to get up early for my race tomorrow!
