Today’s weather is perfection. Clear, crisp, and 80 degrees. Does it really get any better then this? So I’m spending some time with my family, which is really nice.
I woke up this morning feeling MUCH better then yesterday. I started with my daily routine of leg lifts, and push-ups. After I was warmed up I hit the pavement for a fast paced 6 mile run. I really pushed myself to see if I could beat any of my times. Here are my stats:
- Time: 56:30
- Distance: 6.35 miles
- Pace:8:54 min/mile
I’m thrilled. I really pushed myself so I was very happy about this time. When I got back, Chris and I went for a light 2.5 mile jog. This was a great cool down to just run and chat.
My run made me famished. I was starving when I got back so I made a pretty hefty breakfast. I wanted to eat something to fill me up for a few hours since I won’t be eating lunch for a while. Breakfast was superb!
Honey and Oats bagel with Natural Peanut Butter with Roasted flaxseed
And a gorgeous fruit salad
Always accompanied by coffee.
MMMM MMM. Now I am happy and full. I think breakfast is becoming my new favorite meal. Time to relax for the rest of the day.
Even thought it doesn’t feel like fall today, this week I started to really get excited about doing “Fall-ish” type things. I like Fall for many reasons.
1. It reminds me of highschool when we would go to the football games
2. It remind me of highscool homecoming and homecoming parades
3. I LOVE Pumpkin. Pumpkin Anything and Everything. You name it, if it has pumpkin-I LOVE it!
4. Pumpkin Patches, and Picking apples
5. Pumpkin spice candles, coolness in the air, leaves changing color
I love pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin lattes. I LOVE pumpkin. I know there are many ways to tweak the old recipes to make them more health concious, so I can’t wait to give them a whirl!
I hope you all are enjoying your labor day weekend. I know I am!
