Bill and I ran yesterday along the Lakefront. It was HOT HOT HOT (90+ degrees) and super crowded with families and teens hanging out at the beach and parks there.
I had an absolutely horrifying encounter with two people carrying a gigantic snake. I almost died, but luckily I was able to avert their path and run onto the grass, keeping a large distance as we passed each other. People should not bring disgusting, terrifying pets like that to such public places.
The first half of the run was great; we kept a decent sub-10-minute pace. The way back was brutal: hot, sweaty, thirsty and ready to pass out, we took several walking breaks. In the end, we ran 3.7 miles in 38:36. Not bad, considering the heat.
This morning i went into work late, so I had time for an awesome hour-long bike ride along the New Berlin trail. What a great trail for biking! It is completely flat, straight and paved. It follows the railroad tracks and you can see for miles along it.
Stats, from memory: 58:56, 13.29 miles, 576 calories, avg pace around 4:30
Eating has been healthy for the most part, although yesterday I had chocolate cake, homemade ice cream and licorice!
Today:
-FF vanilla yogurt w/ raspberries, blueberries, walnuts & flax
-1/2 veggie wrap
-Banana w/ almond butter
-Veggies & low-cal dip
-15 plain almonds
-Luna bar
-Leftover chicken/artichoke dish for dinner
-4 squares dark chocolate
-Low-cal Frappachino mocha
-Green Monster smoothie w/ spinach, strawberries, blueberries, banana, almond butter, flax & skim milk
I guess I really did eat a lot today, but it was mostly very healthy and low-cal. I had a pretty good appetite throughout the day, probably sparked by the long ride this morning.
Hubby returned today and it was glorious to see him again!!
