Last 2011 Hump Day!

I want to know how it's Wednesday already! I know I didn't work on Monday but still, this week is flying by!! Anyone else think so? Maybe it's b/c WSU is pretty much shut down and I'm still working. Yay for slavery Grad School!

Last night I was good and went to the gym. I was working on a project and hence didn't get out of work til 5:45 and the gym closes at 7 for Holiday hours. I managed to get 2.5 miles in. I warmed up with a mile @ 12:40 pace and then felt saucy and did some speed repeats. I did a 6.5mph or 9:13 pace for 90 sec and then cooled down until my heart rate was below 150. I did this 3 times and probly could have squeaked out #4 but I was tired and it was getting close to closing time. I enjoyed these speedy segments and felt like my form was better than at my regular slow pace.

I went home and was unsure what to make for dinner, so I scoured my pantry and fridge and came up with seafood salad, mac n cheese with green chilis and some yams. Yes, it was a very weird and all over the place dinner but it was quite tasty. I'm not sure why, but I love me some fake crab!

I sat down with my dinner and the BL Thanksgiving special came on. Of course, I got sucked into it for about 15mins and then put it on mute while I read Hunger Games. I missed my tv friends! I don't know if I'm going to make it until next week when the new season starts... I'm SOOO EXCITED!

Do you know of anywhere I can buy all of the BL seasons on dvd? I googled it with no luck and would like to relive some of the old seasons... even back when Caroline Rae was the host! Sheesh!

I'm excited to show you the project I was working on!

Today, I have also been looking into things to do/ see when I'm in San Diego for the last week of March for a Nerd Conference. I did a little searching and guess what's right outside my hotel?!

San Diego Running Routes!!

I also looked into the San Diego Zoo b/c I've always wanted to go, but it's $42!! Good Grief!! But I might have to go just b/c I'm there.

Does anyone have any San Diego Suggestions? I think I'm saying at the Holiday Inn on the Bay.

Before the week is over, I'll do a year since April recap and plans for 2012! :)

One thing I've already signed up for is Amanda's @ Run to the Finish 30 Day Food Journal Challenge, starting Jan. 1. You should sign up if you've never done anything like this before.

                                      

The Migraine is Dead

It took longer than I would have liked, but I have finally beaten then migraine and it has left me!!

Yesterday, I can't say that I was very productive at work b/c my face was throbbing the whole time. I was able to feel better by about 5 and went home and changed into workout clothes and then met Erin at Walmart for a few things. I finally got my cats some dry cat food and they were very thankful! So thankful that one of them barfed on a piece of paper in my bedroom in the middle of the night! YAY!

I went to my BOSU Abs class and just getting the blood pumping made my headache go away. So, after 30 mins of abs, I decided that I was up for a bit of a run. I decided to get a somewhat of a speed workout in. I warmed up and then would run at 7mph or 8:34 min/mile for one minute and then slowed it down for 2 minutes to let my heart rate come down. I did this for a mile and ended up being about 13 minutes long. It felt good to run that fast but I know I could never keep that pace for very long. I also tried out my new Reebok Runtone shoes. I haven't really noticed a difference but they seem very cushy and they don't look like those hideous things that Sketchers put out. I will keep you posted.
                                                  
After my little run, I went home and made some dinner. I was debating between a veggie burger on a bun thin or an egg sandwich. I decided on an open faced egg sandwich with cheese and salsa. They ended up being 5 pts + each b/c I used 1 pt bread.

After watching some horrible tv, because none of the good stuff has really started yet, I went to water the garden and look what I found!

The first picking of the year!! They may be small and only a handful, but they are the start and there's plenty more on the plants. They just need to turn red now! 

Tonight, I have group meeting and a late softball game! I'm calling it Cross Training. :) Have a good night everyone!

Anyone want some chives or rosemary?

Do you have a garden? How's it going?
