Hot Apple Cider

Last night I did not sleep well at all. I woke up at 1:35 a.m. with a pain behind my left shoulder blade! It wasn't like a muscle pain or spasm but like a sharp pain. Never had that before. I tried laying all different ways till finally I guess I fell back asleep. When I woke up this morning one of my left toes was red and swollen and hurt like crazy. I could not stand on it without it hurting. Someone came into my room and beat me up last night. That's all I can think of as to why I was hurting in random places ha! Let's hope I have a better night tonight.

For a morning snack I had some freeze-dried pineapple. It was good. This weekend while in Mobile I Trey bought several packs to try in different fruits.



Today at work we got in the coffee and cider I ordered last week from Green Mountain Coffee.



I of course had to try them all out today. I like the Hot Apple Cider the best, then the Caramel Vanilla Cream. The Pumpkin Spice smells good but it is more spice than pumpkin:(

After work I was so tired but I made my self run even though it was a very short run. Hey better than nothing, right?



Here are my stats:



Hopefully I will get in bed early tonight!

Game Day

This morning we ran 2 miles starting from Trey’s house. Here are my stats. Trey was nice enough to slow way down and run with me.



After running we got ready to go to Brandon’s house to watch the game and cook out. They were taking care of all the main food so we went to Fresh Market and picked up our own drinks and some salsa, guac and chips to share. Here were my beverages of choice.



I ended up getting all non-alcoholic drinks. I drank the coffee on the way to Brandon’s from Fresh Market. I liked it a lot! The Shipwreck Soda tasted like a Sprite but with more of a lime flavor. Virgil’s Root Beer was my favorite out of the drinks besides the latte one. I love root beer. I did not like the hint fizz. It is a sparkling water. I had never tried a sparkling water until today. I will not be buying one again.



They had a tv set up on their back porch. The weather was perfect to sit outside. It got a little hot but then it cooled back down. I am not going to lie after half time we moved inside to the couch and someone may or may not have snoozed. I am not talking about me.



This was before everything was set out. There was some serious snackage going on. I did not take pictures of the main course but it was delicious. We had grilled chicken, baked beans and potato salad. They all did a great job on the food and I probably ate too much. Alabama had another win! Roll Tide!

After the game Trey and I headed to the movies. We saw Contagion. It was a good movie. They could have left out one detail. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone its not a big part of the movie but I just didn’t like the part and felt like it was not needed. Definitely worth going to see. It is kind of scary to think about. A disease epidemic is something that could potentially take place. It made me think of how our government and world would handle an event like this.

We came back to Trey’s after the movie and made a grilled cheese and tomato soup to split.

Now since it is 1 in the morning I am off to sleep. I hope everyone had a great Saturday!

Animal Lover

Yesterday morning this little sweet heart showed up on my back porch. It looks like my parents are going to end up keeping her. My parents have the biggest soft spot for animals. I guess that is where I got it from.



Here is the 10k training schedule I am using.

For lunch yesterday I had a half of a Bacon Turkey Bravo from Panera minus the bacon and gouda add cheddar. I ate the other half for dinner.



I went with a friend Stephen on the above bike ride. It was so much fun. My favorite part though was playing with this little fellow named Polo. He has the softest fur ever. I wanted to take him home with me.



Today after work I spent the evening visiting a wonderful man. Nana and Pop are like grandparents to me. They are one of my friend’s grandparents.



Here we are at my graduation party in August. He is not doing well. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers!

First day of 10k Training

For lunch I had the Queso Blanco Taco Salad from Manna. My boss got the Chocolate Tofu pie for dessert and let me try it. Let me just tell you I will be getting a dessert next time! It was delicious.





I tried this MiO liquid today. I have had the fruit punch flavor and peach tea so far. The peach tea is the best so far. I like the liquid better than the powders. The liquid doesn’t thicken the water like the powder does.

I had my first cup of hot coffee today since last fall! It was so good. I loved the weather today. It was in the 60s!



I am starting to train for a 10k! The weather was so great I couldn’t pass up running outside. Today was a 1.5 mile run. Here are my stats.



I am in love with the Map My Run iPhone app. I'm not fast yet but I am working on it! I am more concerned about being able to run distance not my speed.



On my way back to the car this was the view. So pretty. Tomorrow is a 30-40 minute bike ride. I can’t wait!
