What path?

Hello All!

I didn’t blog yesterday! I don’t think. No.

I had a busy day yesterday. It was a good day and I’m sorry to report that I’m going to be very vague about it. I know you are all very disappointed.

I will however, show you a couple of things that actually relate to food which is …supposed to be…the content of this blog.

First of all, I went to the eye doctors againyesterday in the AM because Eye Doctor Man wanted to check out my new contacts and see if everything was alright. Pretty pointless I think. He looked in my eyes for a minute and then said, “I’m cool if you’re cool.”

On the way back into the city, I went to the gym and ran for uhhh a little over 3 miles I think then came home, cleaned, showered, ate and then New Friend came and picked me up. We went to the Strip because she needed to buy fish…. whole fish.

The selection:

We got two Virginia Spots. (ANDY I thought of you and your obsession with this fish!) They were actually the cheapest, smallest fish (funny that they have them on the DC menu) that they had and since NF (new friend) had no intention of actually consuming them, that’s what we chose.

After the fish shopping, we went back to NF’s house and chatted for a bit then left for other things until about 8(?) then we got back to my house and decided to make frozen pizza! Amy’s Pesto and Tomato pizza. It was pretty good.

I ate this:

Then we chatted for a lonnng time and then I went to bed around 1. Fun, busy day!

This morning I woke up around 7 and made a smoothie. Lots of spinach, 1/2 banana, black raspberries, blueberries, Almond Breeze, coffee:

That was a really good one. I’d also like to note that Unsweetened Chocolate Almond Breeze is sold out all over the city. I’ve checked 4 different stores now! It’s nowhere. :(

After the smoothie, I left the house and did some things (vagueness continues) thennn did some grocery shopping then came home and ate a bunch. I tried to be patient and let the food digest before the run but I didn’t want it to be too hot outside. Bad move.

I was planning to try to do between 5 & 6 miles today. I’ve never run that far so I was just going to take walking breaks as needed. It started out alright. I actually ran with a little 10 ounce water bottle since I figured I’d be gone a while. Around mile 2.5 (Washington’s Landing at this point), my stomach started to get upset. Ughhh. The food. I felt like I was going to throw up so I had to walk for a good 10 minutes. Lame. Oh well. I eventually started running again and did make it home.

Here’s me. It was sunny.

I have the funniest tan lines from running. Sock tan, shorts tan. It’s SWEET.

Alright that’s about it for now. It’s 1:55PM. I’m thinking of taking a nap then doing LOTS of laundry.

I’ve been kind of moody lately. I feel like it’s a roller coaster of moods. I’m trying to balance myself.

Have a lovely Sunday afternoon and Father’s Day though I’m pretty sure no actual fathers actually read my blog except my father.

Happy Father’s Day, DAD!
