Running in Beauty

Today I had wings on my feet

The Workout
Mileage: 5.8 miles
Type: Hills

I was dreading this particular run all week.
All one needs to say is "hills" and I'm already doing a 180. jk

The good thing is that I got through with it. Like I promised, I did said run at the gym. Oh how I love Saturday mornings. My treadmill was waiting there looking forlorn before I arrived. It saw me and I swear I could see energy halos coming off of it. Needless to say, it stuck it's tongue out at the crummy Woodway machines because it was picked. hehe

There was hardly a soul there and I loved it.

The miles were just flying by today, I swear and the hills were not as menacing on my legs as I thought they were going to be--especially coming from a week and some days without hill/incline training. So I have to say right now Good job legs! They are starting to feel super strong. :) I felt absolutely sensational when I was done. Boy do I love that runner's high!

Tomorrow is my scheduled day of cross training. I 'm glad that I made a calendar of specific workouts for each day. It's such motivation to be able to write a check mark with my red pen after I've accomplished the daily goal. Who would have known that the biggest difference in motivation would have come from such a simple act!

Right now I am preparing dinner. On tonight's menu is Sage seasoned porkchops simmered in beef broth and a side dish of green bean casserole. It's getting to be known as my specialty aroudn this house. hehe I've posted a pic of it in progress.

About an hour ago, we came back from watching Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth which is about the global warming crisis. I was expecting a little more but nevertheless I think it's an essential film that EVERYONE needs to see.

And I don't know if I mentioned but Hubster and I are headed to San Diego the first weekend in August. We hitting up Street Scene where a menagerie of our favorite bands will be playing (Tool, My Chemical Romance, The Shins, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Bloc Party and a couple others.) I made hotel reservations today!!!!!!! It's my way of rewarding myself for finishing up my final summer classes for my degree. :)
