This morning I had the first of my long runs for my next half marathon (the double half Pelican Challenge).  It took me 40 mins of running until my body felt like running.  I probably should have taken another rest day this week, but we cut about 20 minutes of the run instead.  My big toe also really started hurting! I felt like the thing was broken it was in so much pain every time my foot hit the ground.  My husband told me I had turf toe.  I told him only football players get that.  Neither of us know what we are talking about, but I am staying off my feet the rest of the day and hoping it gets better!

Pre-run food was a piece of toast with AB and cinnamon.

This nearly empty jar makes me so sad and so happy at the same time!

The hubby and I then went forth and did 1 hr 22mins for a total of 8.33 miles.  It was slow and I don’t care.  Tomorrow is a 5 mile tempo run, so I wanted the energy.

Let me recap dinner last night:

Greek yogurt, banana, blueberries, tons of cinnamon, and Kashi.

On the side sandwich thin with Laughing Cow and strawberry jam.  The BEST combo ever, if you haven’t tried this- YOU NEED TO!  No joke.

Dinner was fairly small because I mindlessly snacked soooooo much last night.  The hubby wasn’t getting home until late and I just sat in front of the TV and munched.  It was relaxing.  I also watched Lifetime Movie Network for a good couple hours while the hubby was gone.

My snacks are unpictured but I had a few handfuls of tortilla chips, lots of handfuls of Special K cereal (cereal is deadly around me!), 2 of my truffles, and then a late dessert of vanilla frozen yogurt.  Somehow I still managed to wake up hungry this morning so my body must have been hungrier than I thought!

The hubby and I are going to check out a rumored gumbo cookoff and then watch the Boilers!

What are your plans this lovely Saturday?  Lovely because I saw the sun peak its little face out!

This homemade latte was my morning snack before class.  I really needed the caffine.

Lunch was a banana/PB sandwich.  I used huge pieces of banana and lots of cinnamon.

Of course I had to dig into my Chobani!  First up, blueberry topped with blueberries, banana, and Fiber One.

All together now.  I also had like 1/4th of an apple in the fridge that I sliced up.  This was a really good lunch.

My unpictured afternoon snack was two chocolate rice cakes.

Dinner was a repeat leftovers wrap so I won’t bore you with the picture.

Dessert was more chocolate.  I never eat this much chocolate usually, but I figure it is Vday (sorta) so why not.

The hubby brought me home a big box of Godiva truffles.  Like I said, I usually don’t care for chocolate a whole lot, but I enjoy some good chocolate every once in awhile.

Look at all those truffles!

I tried this Hazlenut Toffee + Milk Chocolate+ Raspberry Cappuccino

Now that I have eaten way too much chocolate, it is time to go to bed.  I am up early and headed to Austin!  I am nervous for the race.  And I am nervous about this cold weather!  Packing will be interesting tomorrow morning!

Enjoy your weekend and I will blog the next chance I get!

I am tired and ready to sit and catch up on the DVR and wouldn’t you guess that the sun comes out!  I am deciding whether I want to take that nap and relax, or go outside and take advantage of the sun!

When I got home for lunch I soon realized we don’t have much food around right now.  I made some oats and started the latest episode of Grey’s.

Oats, AB, Jelly, Cereal, Almonds.  I basically just threw anything I could find on top of my oats!

I may have bought at Kids Box of Chocolates when I stopped at the store.  These little guys will be enjoyed after lunch.

Check out this list of the 125 Healthiest Supermarket Foods from Eat This, Not That.  The list is quite extensive so browse around!

Okay, I am going to watch the rest of Greys then maybe motivate myself to workout!
