Watch Out for Black Ice!

My co-workers and I broke for lunch around 1 pm.  The cafeteria is closed because the students are home for break – that means no cafeteria lunch. 

I packed myself a tuna and broccoli slaw salad in a Whole Wheat Pita (I used Miracle Whip – I know I know – most people find it vile.  I find it delicious).

With my sandwich, I had some sliced carrots

I had a few big things to finish before I left the office – things were taking a bit longer than I anticipated.  I had planned on running 6 1/2 – 7 miles around 2:30 pm – giving me plenty of time before it got dark out.  My work was not complete until 3:25 so I had to shorten my run to 5 miles. 

The 5 miles weren’t easy – I spent a lot of time staring at the ground – and slid a few times on some black ice.  I survived though and felt much better when I was finished. 

I am getting more nervous about the Disney run – I had mentally counted on a few things – one of which doesn’t seem to be happening now – WARMTH.  Running in 25 – 30 degree weather is a bit harder than even 45-50 degrees.  It appears Florida is undergoing a bit of a cold snap and the forecasters are predicting a cold Friday evening –Saturday morning.  I am now bringing a jacket and gloves where I thought I would be running in shorts and a t-shirt.   C’est La Vie!

After my run, I had a few last minute errands so I ate a Oikos Vanilla Greek Yogurt with some granola to hold me over until dinner.

I got home around 6:30 pm and we heated up the last of the lasagna from Friday.     

I enjoyed another helping probably about 1/4 the size of this one. 

We just finished packing most of our stuff – I did another load of laundry so there will be a few more things to throw in the bag tomorrow. 

A shuttle is coming to pick Matt and I and our three friends tomorrow at 8:30 am – I am going to try to go to bed soon to get a good night sleep!
