New Training Strategy...

Thursday was a pretty good day.  I was invited to a Corporate Wellness presentation and gathered some GREAT ideas for healthbeat!  I'm excited to roll them out in the coming months!!! 

Coffee is my LIFE!

Oh and Oatmeal!

Mom got us some pears at Costco and they were really juicy and delicious.  I don't get many of them b/c Mason LOVES them :)

Lunch is unpictured b/c it was a Jason's Deli veggie wrap and some fresh fruit (at the corporate fitness meeting).  It was delicious and I've posted about Jason's on here before...Yum!

Dinner was Tacos...I had some taco meat with rice then I used a whole wheat tortilla to make a little taco for myself.

Livie Loves Tacos!!!  Isn't she precious?!?!?!

After dinner I did a quick run.  I have a new strategy..I am running to a clock (which I've tried before) but instead of stressing about distance (which I tend to do to myself), I'm going to focus on amount of time running.  So last night I started with 10 minutes straight.  I walked for a minute then I jogged for another 3.  That seemed to work for me, I got in a little over a mile.  Tonight I'm going to run for 11 minutes and see how that goes.  My plan is to increase my running time by 1 minute every couple of days until I can run for 3 miles straight.  I will do this?!!?!  I WILL! 

I'm hoping that happens by Saint Patrick's Day...this will be my next (real) 5k. 

I can't register until January but it is in Ocean City, MD and I Heart Ocean City MD...plus it is FLAT! :)

It is funny though...there are times when I just feel good and once I get over the first dreaded few minutes I feel like I could run and run and run.  What stops me?!?!  Sometimes a timer, sometimes a car coming the other way (so I have to stop for a second), sometimes my boredom.  I will tell you that I love to run more when I'm loving the music I'm listening to.  What to do?!?!  I'll figure it out and keep ya'll posted :)

When I got home from my lil run, I had a purple monster (those blueberries are SO POTENT), chilled with the boys and puppy then went to bed (again early...weird).

That's all I got
