I set out to run 5 or 6 miles yesterday. Honestly, I just wanted to be sure that I could get in some distance because hey, guess what?! I run a half marathon next weekend and I haven't trained at all! But I digress. It was about 55 degrees outside (PRAISE THE LORD ON HIGH) so it was actually pleasant to run outside. My hamstrings have been sore for days, but for some reason when I started running today, there was no pain. I felt like I could just keep going and going, so I did just that. Ended up running just over 7 wonderful miles. Then I took a super hot shower, went to Pei Wei with Jamie, and then had my very first white chocolate mocha from Starbucks. It was essentially perfect.
I went to work after that until 1:30 in the morning, but we're just going to forget about that and focus on the good stuff. Like that white chocolate mocha. You guys. Have you ever had a white chocolate mocha? I'm assuming it has 5000 calories and 5000 grams of sugar and I don't even care. That thing was delightful.
Today was more good stuff. I mean, my day started with going to the dentist and finding out that I need a root canal. So obviously that sucked. But after that, it got better. Lunch with Jamie, shopping trip to BJ's where I considered buying huge bags of trail mix and then remembered that those are single serving bags to me, a little bit of yoga, and a nice quiet dinner at home. With the Sherlock special, of course.
Yes please.
The yoga really was one of the best parts of the day. I've been hearing about Yoga with Adriene for a long time now from a lot of people, and I honestly didn't think much of it. But with a new year comes new resolutions and one of mine was to get back into the practice of yoga. I've been struggling a lot with balance - I run too much and stretch too little, I work too much and sleep too little, I think too much and relax too little. Not perfect. And I know that yoga can't fix it all, but I feel like I'm a much more grounded and balanced person when I practice regularly. So today I started the 30 day Yoga Camp and I'm really excited to see where it takes me.
So that's where I'm at. What's in store for your 2016?
