I packed my running gear for a short run at lunch. I started using my Nike+ again to prepare for my upcoming race. Armed with technology, I can monitor how far I have run, and my average pace, as well as calories burned. I also can set it up to monitor time instead of distance, so I can work on timed runs. For example, today I set it for 30 minutes. I love that 15 minutes into my run, it will tell me I am halfway, and then I know to turn around and head back. In 30 minutes I was able to do about 2.44 miles. I did have to walk for about 5 minutes to get past some nasty wet, mushy and holey grass. The wind played a part in slowing me down, as well as the hilly sub I chose to run in. But, it will be good training for the upcoming race near the lake.
After my run, I snuck out to Starbucks for my "usual" (Skinny Caramel Latte, sugar-free and non-fat). I managed to get back to the office with plenty of time to make my lunch and eat.
Speaking of lunch, I discovered a pretty decent frozen meal brand that is low fat, and actually tasty and filling. The brand is Cedar Lane, and the Garden Vegetable Lasagna was nice. They have a whole line of healthier selections, and I plan on checking them out.

You are really doing great! What's Cambourne? I'm inspired by what you are doing, i just wish I was driven enough to do something about it.
ReplyDeleteCambourne is a street near the studio. We use is as a landmark for sprints. To Cambourne and back is about a 1/2 mile. In total I ran about 2 miles at the studio, and a little over 2 miles at lunch. And it's beautiful out today, so most likely we will have a long run at the studio.
ReplyDeleteYou can do this Barb! Like the commercial says, just do it!
