PamcakesandSTUPIDeggs

October 8, 2009

Well tomorrow is Friday. I actually didn’t want this week to end. Seriously. I’m a bit nervous about the 1/2 marathon Saturday so I’ve been appreciating each day this week. TIME TO PREPARE. Well, I’m done preparing now. I had my last run yesterday. Two days of rest and then run in the rain Saturday morning. It may not rain actually but we’ll see. I’ve been checking the weather 10 times a day each day this whole week… It said no rain up until yesterday I think.

So moving on, I didn’t post any of my meals yesterday so I figured I’d post lunch from yesterday. I made a little tuna salad with 1/2 can of albacore tuna (because clearly I haven’t been getting enough mercury lately), broccoli slaw, a few remaining survivors from my grape tomato plant, mustard and hot sauce. It was pretty delicious. I put it on Nature’s Pride Whole Wheat bread that I got from FoodBuzz. I also received a loaf of the 12 Grain bread which I finished and never blogged about! It was delicious! It was dense, chewy and there were nuts in it. It was very filling. I have to say I’m a little disappointed with the whole wheat after the 12 grain. The whole wheat just seems a bit dry and flavorless. It’s not bad but I don’t know if I’d go out and buy it. The nutrition stats are good though. 110 calories per slice, 3 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein.

I also microwaved some kale with more broccoli slaw and red pepper flakes for a little veggie side.

After work, I REALLY didn’t feel like running. During the day I moaned and complained to my coworker about it and she said, “just put on your running clothes and shoes, go out there for 5 minutes and if you still don’t want to run, then don’t.” Soooo I did that and I told myself, it’s only 3 miles, I’ll be done in half an hour. Well I went out there and ran 3 miles faster than I’ve probably ever run. AMAZING. Uhhh normally, my legs would be laughing at me. Every once in a well (like very, VERY rarely) my legs are okay with running fast. Normally they balk at anything under 9:30/minute.

Long-sleeve running weather!

I got home, went to Trader Joe’s for a few things and then ate EIGHT CUPS of spinach. Haha. Yes, that’s a whole bag of microwaved spinach with broccoli slaw and egg whites. I’m weird.

I added every high sodium condiment in my fridge.

I’m supposed to be getting extra sodium in preparation for my run right?? Check that off the list.

Sooo that was last night.

I got a new cereal at TJ’s yesterday. It tastes like Life! On the cubicle window sill at work. Because everyone carries a box of cereal into work with them. And then photographs it.

Work was okay today. I pretty much stared at spreadsheets for about 8 hours. Typical day in the office. I did have a discussion with a coworker about sewing little wings on my socks for the race and shaving lightning bolts into my hair. I run like LIGHTNING.
Farmer’s market Thursday!!! Brussels sprouts and a big onion. I’m looking forward to some fresh Brussels sprouts in my life for part of tomorrow evening’s dinner.

So I got home from work and checked my email. GUESS WHAT??? I got my first hate comment on the blog! Exciting right? I feel like the real deal now. I won’t tell you exactly what it said but it did include pamcakesandSTUPIDeggs. lol. Of course they pointed out typos too. Please friend, continue to proofread my blog posts for me because clearly I do not.
Dinner tonight was random as always. 1/2 a giant acorn squash (with brown sugar, cinnamon and crushed fake Life) plus a piece of bread with Greek yogurt and strawberry preserves on top. I also ate two carrots and a banana. Now I’m drinking some decaf Earl Grey tea and waiting for Aaron to come over and potentially get me sick. He said he has a tickle in his throat. I threatened him yet he’s still coming to visit. Must not get sick before the race! I’m taking a vitamin C supplement right now.

Okay let’s bring this blog post to an end. I’m SO nervous about the race. I hope I don’t embarrass myself.

Have a nice evening!
