Cleaning Up

After my  dirty post yesterday, I was inspired. I cleaned out my vehicle and the screened in porch, and the kitchen and put away a couple of boxes from our move. It is amazing how I want to gut those junk out of my life when I decide to start fresh, start new, start clean.

Food wise, I did much better. I was crunched for time this morning so I didn't get to have breakfast. I had to have lunch with a couple of co-workers before our parent-teacher conferences. They chose to eat at a Mexican restaurant and instead of going for something really greasy, I stuck to a soft taco and a chicken enchilada.

For dinner, I just had the most delicious bowl of Greek yogurt, grapes, mango chunks, a light sprinkle of granola and a light drizzle of honey. I am going to be drinking lots of water tonight. And if I am hungry later tonight, I'll probably have a few slices of lunch meat.

I'm still feeling junky. But it is a positive first step taken today. Tomorrow will be better. I'll plan my meals better.

Today, I ran on the treadmill. I did 2 miles in 20:25 minutes. It is one of the faster runs I have done in a while. I did incorporate some walking, which brought the average pace down to a 10:00+/mile. But when I was actually running, it was in the mid 9:00 range. To run faster, I have to train faster. I am looking at working harder at running faster so I can proudly and certainly say that I have a PR. I don't want to PR just by a mere few seconds. I want to PR by at least a minute or two. Between now and the start of my next training, I will be running speed intervals and logging in some miles.

That's all there is for today. It is Tuesday and there are exactly 3 more work days before the weekend is here.
