Day 17 - I've found my stride


Well I’m still not a huge fan of running, but I’m still going.  When the alarm went off this morning, Erin went downstairs to the elliptical and I headed outside to go running.  At least it wasn’t too cold this morning (35 degrees).  I turned on the iPod and started running down the street.  But something felt different this morning, after my first lap around the block I didn’t feel like I needed to stop.  I felt like I finally found a rhythm for my running.  When I came up on my 3 mile goal for this morning, I felt as if I could keep going.  It was actually pretty cool.

Breakfast
Fat free blueberry muffin
Coffee with creamer

Lunch
Progresso chicken noodle soup

Dinner
Spaghetti with whole wheat noodles and ground turkey
Glass of red wine

Snack
2 chocolate chip cookies

Before you jump all over me about the cookies, let me explain.  Today my office sponsored a blood drive.  After I donated, the vampires wouldn’t let me off the bus until I had some water and a snack.  All they had was sugar, but I guess there is a reason for that.

Activity
3 mile run
1.25 mile walk

Cross training tomorrow.  It’s a good thing too since it’s a blizzard outside and I don’t think I’d get out to run.
