Watch-boots-new favorite

on

good morning. today is day 2 .. and another day closer to Independence day :) ..
I plan on lifting weights this afternoon and will post after i am done.

fun things i wanted to share:
  • A few weeks ago while at a friends house.. i tasted Asparagus for the first time in my life! It was roasted in the oven with a bit of olive oil, salt, and lemon juice. Now.. it is my new favorite food!
    WOW.. what's happening to me! I am truly turning into a health nut! ..
  • I found a sports running watch and i love it! I had one years ago (7) but had not really started missing having a watch until i started running again. I have been looking for almost a year and a half for one I liked but refused to pay 30 to 40 bucks for a watch. this past weekend at walmart i found one I LOVE and it was only 10 bucks! Marked down from 33.00! ( I love a deal)
  • .. so now i have a "real" stopwatch but it also has a cool "hydration" setting to remind you to drink water.. cool huh?
  • do you know if you can loose weight in your feet? I had some really cool cowgirl boots (justins) that i have had since before kids. I have kept them all these years cause i hoped some day they would actually fit again. last year i even had my DD use them .. well.. as you know we are taking horse riding lessons.. and this past Saturday i pulled them out again to see if they could fit. and you know what? THEY DID! I was so excited. I wore them to lessons and they felt great the whole time... instead of hurting my feet like the use too! YIPPEE! these boots were made for walkin :)
My 3 mile fun run yesterday felt great but i have a bit of soreness in my lower legs so today i will lift weights and do some treadmill work and stretching..



Hows your day? ( am i no going to go put some Asparagus in the oven ... YUMMY!)

add some garlic...it's even better! Next, try cauliflower and brussels sprouts the same way. YUM!
Great job on everything! I don't know if your lower leg pain is calf muscles or shin splints, but when you run for distance, concentrate on a hard heel-down-first approach and save running on your toes for quick, short sprints. You probably already know that, but just in case....

its not really "pain" I can just tell my legs are tired. I should have followed the run/walk training instead of the run training.. but I felt so good yesterday.. but for the last 5 mins! .. thanks for the tips !
you rock!

on the veggie front.. cauliflower and sprouts are so radical i WILL be a Veggie nut case if i try those! ..

change is good!

I love asparagus roasted! You should also try them on the grill. Marinate them for 10 minutes in some s & p, vinegar, olive oil and garlic. Grill them for just a short time. They are so good. And I love brussel sprouts roasted too!

You are doing awesome. I am hoping to get a nice long run in like yours this weekend. I'm concentrating on HIITs this week.
