Mind over matter
Happy Monday ya’ll!! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!
On Saturday I had a great 11.03km run. My average pace was 5:20/km, and I ran it in 58:50. It was actually a really good run and I felt strong but my left knee and my right shin were just killing me. Aaahh, I just want it to go away. I have been icing like crazy, using the Trigger, and GMan has been massaging the heck out of my legs. What a good hubby eh? Apart from the pain, I was happy with my run.
Remember my goal? Well I have been getting my Yoga Meltdown on often and I absolutely love it. It feels so good to really strech and it is such a good workout! My arm muscles are already popp’n. Ha, yeah right.
I didn’t do my recovery run today, but I did walk. and walk. and walk…
so I did get my legs moving… that counts, right? It was SO beautiful outside. GMan and I were loving the sunshine.
Check it out, first time without a big bulky coat.
OOOhh, I am so hoping this stays.
Both of my step-sons are sick this weekend… hacking, sneezing.. oh yes, the whole bit. Wonderful, I know. I am washing my hands like a freak because I CANNOT GET SICK. That’s what I keep telling myself. This week is a big week. Today I’m not feeling 100%… but I keep telling myself otherwise. I have been drinking tons of water (don’t worry, Mom and Dad.. I’m not going to drown myself. (PS: that’s what they always told me was going to happen because of the amount of water I drink)), drinking cups of green and peppermint tea and I also bought this to try:
Yes, I know it’s empty… I already drank it. It was dark green color though.. just the look of it could turn a person off. It’s actually really good though. It’s full of different fruits, spirulina, wheat grass, barley grass and wheat sprouts.. I quite liked it! I couldn’t convince GMan to drink some though. His loss though, eh?
I hope this is a great week for all of you, wherever you are and whatever you’re doing.
Run hard, eat well and live better!
