Run Eat Repeat (latestItemTitle)

Posted: 27 Sep 2012 09:42 AM PDT

Happy Thursday! I woke up this morning not super excited about my run. I stayed up a little too late last night and wasn't feeling it. I was thisclose to talking myself into a short run when I reminded myself that I just said last night that NY is only 38 days away. Aaaaand, given rest days and such that means I only have about 23 more runs!

So, I did my 8 miler and even though it was slow I'm glad I pushed though. These are called character building runs, right?

Speaking of character, my Garmin has a lot of character. And I need a new one.

When I got back I chomped some blueberries while cooking up eggs – one over easy and some egg whites for extra protein. Plus an english muffin half laughing cow, half butter and sugar, cinnamon.

I shared this on Instagram ( @RunEatRepeat ) but thought I'd share it here…

While I was away at Fitbloggin this weekend Ben bought a tragic rocking chair from the Goodwill. It's the worst, but Ben loves it and I guess Vegas does too. I'm out voted.

Question: What color should I paint the chair?

How's your week going? I kinda feel like it's speeding by!

Mid-morning I stalled lunch hunger pangs with a handful of cashews. You've seen them before Smile

Lunch – I may turn into an egg soon because I cannot get enough of them ~~lately~~! I made egg salad for lunch and paired it with tons of Sabra hummus and snap peas.

Then, I was on a conference call when the Cabot fairy delivered some food. The company sent me two of their new light cheeses.

I'm digging the nutrition stats and ingredients:

I opened the extra sharp one first. It wasn't as sharp as I'd like, but it was good. I'm excited about the jalapeno flavor too!

After work I did my usual unwind walk and rewarded myself with a bucket o'Sonic. I have a new order = half Sprite zero, half unsweetened tea with lime. Half the fake sugar, all the fun!

Dinner - Since I'm still playing catch up with all the emails I got behind on when I was at Fitbloggin Ben made dinner and now we're enjoying dessert on the couch. We opened a bottle of port from my favorite winery in Paso Robles, Rotta.

In other news, I am finalizing my travel arrangements for the New York Marathon and am ~~kinda~~ freaking out! I don't feel ready at all and it's only 38 days away!! I don't have a time goal, but I am super nervous about it. Marathons are really hard for me and I haven't ran one since October of last year (Long Beach). That race wrecked my body and my confidence. I think I'm going to run a practice race to get some jitters out. I don't have that long to figure it out!

Is it bad that when I drink wine I physically feel all the tension in my neck ache? Seriously. That's a real question.
