It wasn't my longest run. (Only went 2.7 miles)
It wasn't my fastest run. (Took 31 minutes)
But for some reason, it was my BEST one. I just felt like a runner tonight. I never feel like a runner! Usually I hate every second of the run, and then feel so amazing afterwards. The runners high - just delayed.
But tonight was DIFFERENT. For the first time, I got a runner's high DURING the run.
It was the perfect temperature. (Not exactly sure what it was, maybe around 60?) So I decided to take my run outside. I went a different way than usual. (Instead of going by the high school, I went down Jefferson Rd. past "Nite Crawlers" bar/grill and down "Ocean Beach" until I reached "Lakeview" and then turned around.) Also, I didn't listen to my iPod until I was more than halfway done with my run, so I had more time to think. And then my mind went almost blank and I got in this cool running ZONE that's only happened to me once or twice.
OK. That's enough about running for now...
For breakfast I had a fat free yogurt.
Lunch was a wrap: whole wheat tortilla, turkey, light miracle whip, and a slice of american cheese.
It was AWESOME! For some reason the whole wheat tort tasted better to me today than it usually does...
I also had half of a red bell pepper with hummus.
At 3pm I had a cashew cookie LaraBar. Man, I LOVE those things!
Dinner tonight was yet ANOTHER attempt to use up some of the taco fixins from the weekend. I had a huge pile of fat free refried beans topped with cheese, a cheese quesadilla, light sour cream, and salsa. It was exactly what I was craving!
A perfect drink for this gorgeous fall evening would've been a Harvest Moon pumpkin ale, but it didn't even sound good tonight. So I stuck with water instead.
Gotta go get some odds n ends done so I can relax and enjoy tonight's debate!
