It was 7 degrees out during my personal record setting 5k last week. Granted, it was only my second 5k and in the first one I pushed Charlotte in a jogging stroller. Nonetheless, I pretty much kept a 9 minute mile pace the entire time. I set a new record this morning, one with which I'm not quite as pleased...It took me almost 48 minutes to run 4 miles this morning. 12 minute miles? Don't toddlers, just barely learning to walk, go faster than that? It's lucky that there were no old people out for a casual stroll this morning with their canes and bad hips. They would probably felt sorry for the guy who ran so slowly. "I wonder if he had both legs replaced recently." I'd like to say there are good excuses for this poor performance, but really there are none. Well, I take that back. Is being fat and lazy a good excuse? Ok, maybe there are one or two.
I came home and had an awesome smoothie for breakfast. 1 cup carrot juice, 3/4 cup plain yogurt, 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup frozen strawberries. It was so good. Lizzy says there is too much yogurt in it, but I like it. It was plenty filling. I came home for lunch and had spaghetti noodles with cheese, a little ketchup and some mayo. That is my all-time favorite mission recipe. I ate it twice a day for almost a year and a half. Lizzy hates how it smells and I can never get all of the cheese off the bowl, but it tastes so good. I barely use a tablespoon of ketchup and mayo and a 1/4 cup of cheese. It tastes way better with more ketchup, mayo and cheese, but I'm in training so I've got to go easy on that stuff.
