Easter Basket Update
After completely gorging myself on jelly beans last night, I nicely asked my mom to remove all Easter candy from the house. The original Easter plan was that she was giving me money to buy my own Easter candy with, which probably would have been none, but then when my brother came home last weekend, she bought us both candy. I think that she was upset that I asked her to get rid of all the candy, but I ate so much of it that I was sick to my stomach all of last night. I also think that if the jelly beans were still in the bag I would not be tempted to eat handfuls of them at a time. In conclusion, the candy is on its way out.
The aforementioned jelly beans were a bit of a problem during this morning's run. It was very dark as I headed out the door around 5 this morning. The wind from yesterday had died down, which made the run so much more pleasant. As I had noticed on Monday, the sun was starting to peek out as I was finishing. Other than the tummy problem, this morning was a pleasant run.
The work day seemed to be extra long today. By 1:00, I was ready to go. This coming week will be savored. Today was our "Friday", so we got to leave at 2:30, making it even better. I came home and took an extra long nap!
I really wish that I was feeling more recovered for tonight's workout because it is one of my favorites. The workout was 2000, 1600, 1200, 800, 400 all with a one lap jog between each. The goal was to aim for around 10 mile race pace (goal) and to drop it a little bit on each interval. Since I'd like to take a stab at getting under 60:00 at Broad Street, I was trying to run 6 minute pace. I hit the intervals more around 6:05-6:10 pace and was not feeling all that sharp. Usually I tear through this workout, but tonight it was not to be. M reminded me on my 400 that it has only been 10 days, just stay smooth. We did keep our recoveries a little bit on the quick side. Tomorrow will be a wonderful day off.
Speaking of tomorrow, my morning looks extremely busy...not the morning I had planned. My mom and I are going to Panera for breakfast with one of her friends. Then we're heading to Trader Joe's, Target, picking out new glasses for her, and to the grocery store. Although all of it should be enjoyable and good quality time, it is not nearly as laid back as I was hoping for.
