WORKOUT – 10.15 miles/1 hr 22 mins

We arrived home safe and sound last night after our epic 13 hour drive.  I’ve got a picture post coming up but first things first, I had to get a run in.  It’s been exactly a week since I’ve ran, and I think I forgot how to.

The first 8 miles felt really slow, cumbersome and sluggish.  Or maybe that was me…  I think I ate way too much over vacay.  Oh well, nothing a few million miles can’t fix, right?

The last 2 miles I picked up the pace, and throughout the run I threw in a lot of shorter hills to kick my own booty.

Overall it was good.  So good of a run that I’d give it an award if Madelin and Angela hadn’t beat me to it…

Madelin gave me this award:

Thanks Madelin; apparently I’m beautiful.  But we already knew that, didn’t we?  Ok, time to step away from the mirror…

And Angela gave me this award:

Besides being beautiful, I’m a ray of sunshine!  Double fist pump!

Yesterday I received an email from eFITology.com, a company that “delivers and assembles affordable exercise equipment”, about a contest: if you take their 10 question fitness quiz and score 100%, you’ll be entered to win one of 3 big prizes.  (One is a $1400 recumbent bike)

HERE IS THE LINK if you want to take the quiz; it takes like 30 seconds.

Just to let you know, I got a 90%.  Apparently you aren’t supposed wash down a big meal with a Big Gulp margarita, put on cement sneakers and then swim in a tide rip.  Who knew??

And lastly look what reader Jamie sent me: a Starbucks VIA with a cute little note.  She has now catapulted onto my highly prestigious list of people I’ve never met but will probably put in my will.  Thank you Jamie!!
