Okay…today was a good day. The red cup is back at Starbucks and so are Gingerbread Lattes. I am on generally one of those people who counts down to Christmas. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. But I like the fact that it is now November and the holidays are upon us. It doesn’t get better than this time of year! I made a point to leave my apartment a few minutes early so I could swing by Starbucks. For some reason when I drink coffee my appetite is altered for the rest of the day. It KILLS my appetite! Maybe it is the caffeine? I hardly drink any caffeine. Who knows.
Today was Day 2 of my half marathon training and on the plate for today was a three mile run. I got out at lunch and ran the trails behind my office. They are pretty hilly and since I threw out my back last week, this was my first day running in about 10 days. It was also a lot hotter out than I had expected. Wow…these are a lot of excuses, huh? As you can see from the blurry picture above, I averaged a 9:55 min/mi pace. I prefer to average about a 9 min/mi pace, so I was a tad disappointed. I realized I need to take the first mile a bit slower so I don’t burn out so quickly. This will be crucial for my half marathon.
Speaking of training, I signed up for the San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon in June last night. I am really excited to try another marathon. I ran my first on in 2005.
Time to eat some dinner… :)
