But, this morning I ran Week 5, Day 1 again which is three 5-minute running segments. I haven't run since Sunday, so I felt a little sluggish and needed more walk breaks than last time. Monday evening I stubbed my toe on the recycling bin and cracked my nail on my big toe. I was a little nervous about how my toe would hold up on my run this morning, and how well the bandaid would stay put. Luckily, it didn't hurt too much and the bandaid stayed put and I only had a little extra sock fuzz stuck to it. Hopefully it will heal quickly!
While I wouldn't say that I miss work, I do miss the routine of going to work each day. That keeps me on a schedule of going to bed early and waking up on time and staying on top of my cooking and food prep. It has been almost two weeks since I have been to the grocery store, and even longer since I have cooked a good, whole food meal for myself. Cooking for one can be so boring sometimes!
So, today since I ran, I need to continue doing healthy things for myself. I will go grocery shopping today. And, I will cook at least one good meal for myself today. One great thing about being on summer break is I have a lot more time for cooking during the week than I did while I was working. I think that was part of the reason I slipped out of my routine, because I knew I would have time to cook tomorrow, or the next day or the day after that.
This week's meals are scheduled to be: Creamy Greek Zucchini Patties, Coconut Eggplant Curry, Rainbow Peanut Noodles, and Bruschetta Quinoa Casserole. I'm also going to make Blueberry Power Muffins for late morning or post run snacks. Yummmm! The muffins are especially delicious as mini muffins. Sweetie loves these muffins and I can't wait to make some for him very soon!
I should be able to pep talk you towards the end of your race in the morning. I think I'm going to aim for an Independence day 10k and will have to get started early to beat the heat.
ReplyDeleteWednesday, I woke to thunder and rain so the back up plan was rowing. Ran on Thursday to make up for Wednesday. Ran on Friday. Looking forward to sleeping in on Sunday. It has been quite refreshing this week to shed some of the wet, sweaty running clothes and take a dip in the pool. For some reason, it is very easy to slip in the pool and do some stretches. It really helps to cool my core so I'm not still sweating in the shower.
I hope your allergies are cleared up and you have a great run for Hope for the Warriors.
