I must say β the Workout Protein Pancake was quite the breakfast for my 10.25 mile run this morning! It did sit a little heavy in my stomach for the first few miles, but nothing traumatic or really dissimilar to my normal breakfast.
I went to a new path that runs along the ocean for my run. It was quite nice to watch the herons and speedboats as I jogged. It started to rain around Mile 5.5, but it was just a light drizzle.
I took a lot of walking breaks. My energy levels arenβt up to par lately; probably due to the stress of the family emergency and crashing at my in-lawsβ house. I am pleased to discover that I can take walking breaks every mile and still maintain my goal marathon pace of 10:30 easily. I heart walking!
Side note: James and Maggie love sweaty Mommy! Mmm, salt.

Came home and was happy to see my mother-in-law was preparing breakfast! It made a nice lunch for me. π
A cheese and egg mix with spinach:

And an English muffin:
Iβm trying to be helpful around the house since everyone is really stressed out. My mother-in-lawβs garden is currently a bit of a disaster. Weβre going to spend the next few hours weeding and trimming so it looks more presentable.

Mid-way:
No weed left behind!
Weeding is fun. I actually think itβs really relaxing and therapeutic. Weβve already been at it for an hour, and time is flying by! I could this for a living. Speaking of which, I am so behind in work. π
Can I come weed your garden, too?
PLEASE weed my garden – it sure needs it!!
Good job on the run π I like walking on long runs too – they’re a fab mental break too π
