Last nights dinner

Last night’s dinner looked like this

Love me some carbs. Nothing like carbing up for the half marathon this weekend!

Q: have you ever had spinach with cottage cheese? I’ve been told that’s a weird combination!

Breakfast

Almond butter was not very runny like I like my butter to be so I tried the peanut butter and it was exactly opposite! This bagel was oozing out all over when I stuck the two sides together. I had to walk to class sticking it away from me while eating so it dripped on the ground. I bet the birds loved that! 🙂

I found me a nice bench by this lovely bush outside. I have an hour between classes and I like to go to my last class and read the chapter before it starts. So here I am reading. It was too cold in the building so I went out to enjoy the weather!

Lunch

 

Fried green beans and double deli grill sandwich. At least I’m eating green beans? I think I might like them even if they weren’t fried, as long as they were fresh ones and not out of the can (ew) and were made soft like these.

Running

3 miles in 25:08 @ 8:22 pace

mileage	time
mile 1	8:11
mile 2	8:19
mile 3	8:36

Then it was recovery!!

Banana, powerade and water!!

and lots and lots of ice!!

Sorry the pictures are so dark, my roommate was sleeping and I didn’t want to be rude having the light on.

Dinner

Did you say carbs? Of course!

I’m pretty sure you’ve noticed by now I like my carbs. If not, then you do now!

 

OH and I just wanted to say that I normally don’t look this absurd, but I just skipped rocks for the first time and was really excited!!

But really Alex said “Jump up and down and be excited” because he missed the actual expression I had after skipping rocks. hah

OH and also here are some pictures of alex from the Track meet!

Nice facial expression right?

On the left

On the right in back

(I did not take these pictures. They were on the athletic website)

He ran a 4:05 1500m, I was proud!

Q: Do you know how to skip rocks?

Q: What other talents do you have?

Good and Bad News

Challenge

I forgot to add in my post about my challenge yesterday. So here it is!

Water: 24 oz water, 32 oz powerade, 8 oz gatorade, 16 oz orange juice
Core: 100 cent core again
Stretching: Alex helped me with my stretches. We did ankles and hamstrings. I have pictures from the ankles where we used therabands.

Flex forward

Flex to the side

Flex to the other side (I like alex’s face hahaha)

Flex away

Icing: I then iced using my Ice Up. LOVE this! Except our dorm freezer doesn’t freeze it very well. 😦

I also refueled after my run with this

And a nuts about chocolate luna bar

This morning

Unfortunately I did not get the RA job I was really hoping for. But my friend Lanie said that of the 7 people she knew that applied, only 1 got a position. Apparently there were 80 of us new comers and 70 RA’s that were returning and only 90 RA positions available. So it was a slim pickin’s. I’ll try again next year and just have to look at the positives from this.

Positive: I’ll be able to celebrate my birthday at home
Positive: I’ll be able to focus on my studies and running
Positive: Will have more summer time at home

Of course there are many negatives to not getting the position, but we won’t focus on those!!

Breakfast

Same as yesterday. Whole wheat bagel with peanut butter and chocolate chips.

Just look at the yumminess!

Lunch

Corn dog and cheese tots.

Running

Had 6 miles to run. My friend Megan ran 3 miles with me. We ran really slow and easy because she is recovering from an injury. Then the last 3 I ran solo.

6 miles in 53:37 @ 8:56 pace

Mileage	Time
mile 1	9:25
mile 2	9:36
mile 3	9:43
mile 4	8:20
mile 5	8:28
mile 6	8:02

I then iced my legs afterwards.

Dinner

chicken sandwich, cheese tots and cheese sauce for my sandwich. Yeah how healthy huh?  But yummy and full of carbs!

News

So I will be going to Disney World for the first time!!  Anyone have any suggestions on what we must do? I’m going with my parents and brother. It’s going to be so much fun!!
