Uh oh, look who splurged last night!! Yikes, I am bad about sweets.
That is why I am going to try and give them up for lent!! More specifically desserts (not fruit or natural sweets). This should be interesting!!
My evening splurge provided a little extra motivation to get off my butt this morning and go running!! Now, I did not run as early as I had this summer while marathon training. I have the morning off because I am flying out this afternoon for my annual work trip. When I booked my flight, I purposely choose an afternoon flight so I could squeeze in my weekly training run that I would have missed.
This allowed me to hop out of bed around 6:30 and start running by 7:15. I was kind of surprised to see the sun beat me up this morning. I have been waiting months for the sun to get up earlier so I can start running outside in the morning.
This morning was beautiful!! Just look at the view of the Memorial Bridge.
Even though the views were beautiful and the weather was warm, this was not a fun or easy run. Because of the work trip, I worked out hard this week with my hilly run in Baltimore, spin class and increasing my weight in BodyPump. My calves were feeling it!!! But I chugged on and completed almost 11 miles (the map does not include running to and from my house).
Yay, 11ish down! I am one long run closer to the Rock ‘N’ Roll Half!!
And yay for awkward running pictures!!
Well I am off to enjoy the last of the Bachelorette bagels and to get ready for my flight! But please come back and visit while I am gone, I have some great posts lined up including Val’s Bachelorette, The Hunger Games trilogy and how we hashed out our guest list.
