Current Mood: Athletic & Bouncy

So apparently 58 degrees is cold. It was a miserable run yesterday evening from 6pm – 7pm. I was mostly running to calibrate the Nike+ so I didn’t really try that hard and on the way back I walked a lot (you need to walk to calibrate a section anyways). Big mistake… I got so cold from walking I couldn’t even get myself running again, LOL. I’m not sure if it was just the temperature or the fact it was fairly windy on top of that. It sucked. Also, my hip was twinging again so I didn’t bother pushing it. So next time if I know it’s going to be that low and that late in the evening when the sun is starting to vanish I think I’ll make sure to wear my ColdGear. Wonder if I will stand being able to run outside once winter rolls around again… Yes, I am wuss.

Looking forward to seeing how much more accurate the Nike+ is now at least. My new goal is being able to run to the 15 and back. That will be about 11 miles. I have no set time-line for this since mostly this will be a weekend thing. I may try to get up to 8 miles on a weekday tho since 6 only currently takes roughly an hour. I was debating trying 8 today but since I just started doing 6 I figured not to push myself too fast and hurt myself or burn myself out. It’s not supposed to be overly nice this weekend anyways.

I really want to try and make some cupcakes this weekend. I need to hit the store to get some special stuffs. I saw a really neat recipe online, debating how much I want to make from scratch or Frankenstein a box. Hopefully they turn out edible but I’m most going for a certain aesthetic product this time around.

I think after last weekends attempt at making healthy “meals” for myself I learned that is just not for me. Is sucks to do that for just one person. I don’t want to eat the same shit for 4 days straight (even tho I already do that with cereal and fruit…) and I also don’t want to try and 1/2 or 1/4 recipes down because then I just end up with a bunch of half used ingredients that will just go bad before the next time I want to make it again. My current meal plan was working just fine for my anyways. I wasn’t really getting bored of what I was eating, just more wanted to see if I would want to try and add more variations. I tried, I didn’t fail, I am just too lazy to bother with it!

I think today is also a good day to invest in another sports bra, I just want enough workout clothes to last me the week so I can do laundry on a weekend and not run out before that. I only have 2 pairs of shorts I really like but I have an other 2 which are new and it would be dumb to replace them out already (we’ll see if that holds true when I go to Sports Authority today). I have 2 pairs of long sleeve tops, 2 short sleeves, and then several tanks from years past. I may get another long sleeve even tho that seems kinda stupid since technically summer is near but San Diego seems to be in limbo on settling on a consistent temperature right now. I have a decent amount of ColdGear from being on the east coast and Utah but maybe there will be some sales on stuff since their seasonal stock should be changing. Oh money, how I love to spend you. Thank god I have restraint and most everything I make goes into my savings account and I just deplete what I put into my checking!

Tonight I am going to respond to Leah’s last blog. I had been planning on making a similar post awhile back but my iTunes library is such a mess I need to sort that first. So that’s on the agenda today as well.

Guess I should stop babbling and get going!

One last thing… Congratulations Leah on a fantastic 10k run!!!
