Tough Ten

This morning I got up at 6:30 am and was out the door a little after 7 am for my 10 mile run.  Eeek. 

Before leaving, I had a Whole Wheat Hoagie Roll with a banana and some soy nut butter.

The ten miles were definitely tough.  I got a tad lost and circled around the same streets multiple times – that frustrated me.  These ten were a lot harder then the last nine miles I ran.  My two weeks of almost no running were apparent.  I took some walking breaks and tried not to be so hard on myself.  This run was a good kick in the pants – I need to make sure I follow my schedule for the next two weeks. 

When I arrived home, I enjoyed some Fruit Punch Powerade and then after a shower, made my favorite smoothie. 

In the Magic Bullet went 1/2 cup of oatmeal – I  blended that first to make sure it wasn’t chunky.  Next I added 1 frozen banana, 1 chocolate carnation instant breakfast packet, 1 cup of skim milk and 1 teaspoon of soy nut butter.
I just finished icing my legs and now I have some laundry to finish.  I’m sure a nap is also in my future.

Matt and I are headed into Boston tonight to walk around a little and have dinner – it is his birthday on Wednesday. 

I hope you are enjoying your Memorial Day weekend like our nephew Cole is!
