Happy Saturday! I woke up bright and early to get in a long run. Check out my instagram feed for a quick lil video of my morning.

You know I am not one to do a legit long run or race recap where I go through each mile. And I’m assuming you don’t have time for that?

Anyway. I tried to remember some of my random thoughts to share with the class.

My brain on a long run:

Mile 1: La di da… running running

Mile 3: There is seriously no one out right now! Just me. Hope I don’t get kidnapped…

Mile 6: Scare the crap out of a woman who is on the phone. I said “Good Morning!” two times but she was super into her call.

Mile 8: See a police officer walking a blood hound, three other officers follow a ways back and two police cars drive alongside them. Freak out and think there is a bomb.  Get less freaked out when I remember I’m in Irvine.

Mile 9.5: Refill my water bottle. Eat Sports beans. Brought along an extra Nuun for later in the run.

Mile 12: Waffles.

Mile 14: Sex.

Mile 16: Can I switch my races to half marathons instead of fulls? <- Think this at some point on every long run.

Mile 17: No seriously, I’m going to check.

Mile 18: 18 is almost 20, I bet I can stop.

Mile 20: Time to eat.

 

The rest of the day will be spent relaxin’ and eatin’. Just like I like it

Question: If you had to pick one shot which would you choose: Vodka OR Wheatgrass?

Mark Hyman, MD: How To Prepare For A Food 'Emergency'

It’s not fair. Because life isn’t fair.

It’s not fair. Because life isn’t fair.
This heat is making me cranky. I don’t feel like cooking, I don’t feel like being social or active. We don’t have air conditioning since our house is so old and adding central air is so expensive. We do have a window unit in the kitchen and one upstairs – they’ve been working but because it’s so hot, they haven’t really been able to keep up. I’m so glad the heat wave has finally broken (right? it has, right?!) I’ve gotten {Read More}

This heat is making me cranky. I don’t feel like cooking, I don’t feel like being social or active. We don’t have air conditioning since our house is so old and adding central air is so expensive. We do have a window unit in the kitchen and one upstairs – they’ve been working but because it’s so hot, they haven’t really been able to keep up. I’m so glad the heat wave has finally broken (right? it has, right?!) I’ve gotten a few runs in this week and plan on making Tilapia, asparagus and sweet potatoes for dinner tonight to kick the weekend off right.

I’ve been stuck this week in a “it’s not fair” thinking the past couple days. I hate when that statement creeps into my head because I KNOW life is not fair. Here’s what I’ve thought this week:

• It’s not fair that I’ve worked out 5x a week for the past 3 week and the scale is moving so slowly (seriously… ounces?!)
• It’s not fair that I can’t go out to eat like I see other people who are thinner than me eat out
• It’s not fair that I can’t drink like I see other people who are thinner than me drink
• It’s not fair that I have to focus so hard on this when others don’t.
• It’s not fair that I see people eating ice cream and I know it’ll go right to my tush.
• It’s not fair that I feel like the scale won’t move even though I’ve doing what I’m supposed to.

It’s not fair. It’s not fair. It’s not fair. I just want to slap myself and say “Yeah, it’s not fair… because life isn’t fair!” And I want to shake myself and say “miscarriages aren’t fair. and rape isn’t fair. and murder isn’t fair.” Life isn’t fair. My body is my body and it doesn’t act/react the way other bodies do. Someone slap me.

LIFE IS NOT FAIR, JEN

Despite my cranky “it’s not fair” attitude, I’ve eaten fairly balanced the past couple days and have done:

Sunday – hour of cardio/weights
Monday – rest day
Tuesday – 3 miles
Wednesday – skipped cardio
Thursday – 3 miles
Friday – rest day
Saturday – 6 miles (planned)

This weekend, we are going to finish painting. Because it’s been so hot and since our house isn’t the coolest, we haven’t finished it. Aside from the 6 miles I have tomorrow, I’ll do 45-60 minutes of cardio on Sunday. Not sure what else is planned for this weekend aside from the typical weekend activities: grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning, etc. Oh, I know – definitely seeing my sisters and nieces/nephews on Sunday too.

We have a dog we are doggy sitting, his name is Milos and he is adorable.

Milos will be with us for about 3 weeks and has a temperament/personality similar to Iggy’s which makes watching him so much easier! I love doggy sitting, especially when the dogs we watch are as easy like Milos.
