Weekend

My weekend consisted of walking, a little of running, cleaning, finishing season 2 of the Orange is the New Black, and making smoothies.

Friday, Phill and I probably walked about 5 miles.  I had no quad pain or tightness, which gave me the confidence to go out for a mile run on Saturday.  Saturday, I did a dynamic warm up, ran one mile and walked 1.5 miles.  Later than evening Phill and I went out for a 2 mile stroll, also.  Sunday, I did a dynamic warm up, ran one mile, taught Phill some drills, and walked 1.5 miles.  Additionally, I made sure to roll, use the stick, and stretch. 

I gave Dunsmuir a bath by taking him into the shower with me.  He is such a good Rabbit. He made no fuss at all.  This is him, post bath: 

Post-bath happy!

I experimented with making Smoothies for Phill and me this weekend.  Saturday's consisted of 1/4 cup strawberry, 1/4 cup raspberry, 1/4 cup cherry, 1 banana, half a block of tofu, and 1 cup almond milk.  I put a little too much tofu in there and used the firm tofu (that's all we had), so the texture was a little weird.  It tasted good though.  Sunday's consistent of 1/4 cup cherry, 1/4 beets, 1 tablespoon chia, 1/2 cup carrot, 1/2 banana, 1 cup almond milk, 1/4 cup kefir. This tasted pretty good, but was very fibrous to drink. I am looking forward to having kefir in my cereal next.

I also made grilled cheese for dinner last night.  I also made a bowl of fresh veggies.  I intended on it being a salad, but our mixed greens went bad / were bad when I bought them.  

The grilled cheese was really good. I used Eureka Organic Bread (Seeds the Day) and Habanero Sierra Jack Cheese (both super delicious ingredients by themselves!).  On the outside, I put some Parmesan on the outside. Very tasty and simple sandwich.

This weeks running plan: 

Monday: Dynamic Warm Up, 1 mile run, arms / core exercises

Tuesday: Dynamic Warm Up, 1 mile run, leg / core exercises 

Wednesday: Dynamic Warm Up, 2 miles, arms / core exercises

Thursday: Dynamic Warm Up, 1 mile run, leg / core exercises

Friday: Dynamic Warm Up, 2 mile run

Saturday: Dynamic Warm Up, 2 mile run

Sunday: Dynamic Warm Up, 2 mile run, drills 

Of course, that will also include stretching and rolling.  

One of those days may include a longer run.  I have two friends who are training for a half marathon, and I may meet them for their run.  I assume it will be 4 - 5 miles, at 10 - 11 minute pace.

Other goals: 

• Pay my darn parking tickets!
