I am weighing in tomorrow.

I had one run Monday night that was almost 3.5 miles. My average pace was 9.35 which was pretty dang good considering the hills. Tuesday night I took my kids out for a game of tennis and got quite a good workout on. Yesterday I took a break...I have a small cold and feel a little fatigued but tonight I will run again. My 1/2 marathon is Mother's Day and I feel pretty good about my progress I am making. At this point I can go 8 miles comfortably and I have been told if I can do 9 then during race day 13 is no problem. I will make sure I can go 13 well before race day though.

Last night I made a favorite of mine. I basically made lasagna with eggplant and without the noodes. With our diet we aren't supposed to eat a lot of carbs in the form of breads and pastas. So I cooked eggplant, added cottage cheese, marinara sauce, olives and some cheese and then baked it. It was yummy!! Of course I also added seasoning to taste. For breakfast was a smoothies made with 1 cup flavored Kefir, 1 cup soy milk plain and 1 cup of strawberries and 1 banana. I cheat with the banana as it has a lot of sugar in it but it thickens up my smoothie. I figure how bad can the cheat be if it's a banana?! Snack was mini bell peppers and orange and for lunch I had a Subway chopped salad. My coworker got it for me and they forgot to put dressing on it, so the salad sucked but was a lot healthier I guess.

Life is good. I am in one of those good places where I feel really content with myself and the life I have!!

New Blog
