I woke up this morning CRAVING fresh fruit. The urge for fruit was so powerful that when I opened the fridge and saw we had no fruit, I jumped in the car with wet hair and drove all the way to Trader Joeβs at 9 AM.
I think the bag boy thought I was mildly crazy.
But at least I had everything I wanted for breakfast:
In the bowl:
- A banana
- Blueberries
- Cantaloupe
- Greek yogurt
- Sunflower seeds
The makings of a very happy breakfast. π
Iβm going to attempt a 6.0 miler later today and see how my IT band does. It ached after Thursdayβs 3.0 miler, and if it hurts today, Iβm going to have to make some tough decisions about my upcoming half marathons. Iβve dropped out of races before and, although it sucks, itβs not the end of the world. BUT I donβt want to blow my IT band in DC next weekend and not be able to run in NYC the following weekend, since itβs a big mother/daughter trip.
Guess Iβll just have to listen to my body and let my IT band do all the talkinβ. :)
Did you have a race this morning? How was it? Or are you gearing up for a race tomorrow? Itβs certainly race season!
No races for me…I’m just starting to increase my distance after stopping at 2 miles for a long time and am thinking about easing my way into the world of racing by looking for a 5k and then I’ll go from there.
My boyfriend and I were thrilled the other week to find out TJ’s opens at 8 even on Sunday mornings…definitely a little quieter there in the mornings.
I hope your 6.0 miler goes well.
