Two Mile Tuesday

I know that I said last week that Tuesdays were going to be known as 2 mile Tuesdays but….I broke out the 1/2 marathon novice training schedule and the two miles has been increased.  EEK!  Do you ever feel overwhelmed by what lays ahead of you?  I keep reminding myself that I CAN DO IT.  If I continue training and building up my endurance it is something that I will be able to do.  I just have to keep at it.

Keep at it I did tonight.  I hit the track at the gym for a 3 mile run in 33 minutes flat.  That means those were on average an 11 minute mile.  I know that the last mile was a lot quicker than the others, but overall I am very happy!  I am revving up for the long 5 mile run on Friday!

Now on to some food….

Sometimes in our house you have to label the food if it is the last one:)

I needed that banana to make breakfast for dinner!

Banana bread pancakes

I had the pancake smothered in Naturally More PB along with some Oikos yogurt and pumpkin.  I have to say that I really enjoy the Oikos Greek yogurt!  I knew I needed some protein after working out and this was a great way to get it.  Oh yeah, I added a generous amount of cinnamon to the mix!

This makes so much sense to me!  Check out Whole Foods new policy on getting more of a discount based on your health!  Where would you rank?  I have to say that when I was 145 lb heavier I would have not thought this to be a good idea, but now I think that it is a fantastic one!  You are your best advocate when it comes to health care.  You make a choice every time you decide to eat! Have I ever told you that I secretly want to just work at Whole Foods?  Maybe just so I can eat there everyday!

I also wanted to share some great ideas and promotions that are going on at Open Sky!

I hope you all have a great night!  I am going to be doing this:

My knee did not really hurt at all during the run and I want to keep it that way!  Night!
