Man it’s hot!!
Sadie woke me up at 6:15 am this morning which was a little later than normal. I got up, fed her and let her out, then ate 1/2 WW bun with PB and half a glass of H20. I was back in bed by 6:25! I got back up around 7:30, got all my running gear and headed out to my parents house. It’s about 30 mins to my parents so I got there at 8am and immediately headed out. The sun was so bright and there were no clouds. SUCK. I was attempting my hilly route from Monday but doing it backwards for a little change. But half way through I was so HOT and the sun was just beating on me. So I decided to detour from this route and go on a shaded trail. MUCH BETTER IDEA. The trail doesn’t have as many hills but still has a few. It’s amazing how the sun really sucks energy out of you. I just kept telling myself, get to the 4 mile mark. Then I remembered right around 4 miles there is a water fountain! MY SAVING GRACE!! So I stopped for about 30 seconds, got 3 sips of water(that’s my magic number for sips of water at a time, haha) and decided I could definitely make it to 5 miles. The last mile was pretty flat but was back out in the scorching sun. I made it though! Yea!! It was tough but I’m glad I kept pushing on. Here are my stats:
Avg Pace: 10:19min/mile
Mile1: 10:21
Mile2: 10:17
Mile3: 10:26
Mile4: 10:29
Mile5: 10:03
I feel pretty good about this! I walked about 0.6 mile home and then walked Sadie about a mile then walked another mile on my treadmill while reading. My legs were so happy to finally sit down and rest!!
I had a GREAT lunch today!! I definitely didn’t want something heavy so I decided to make a yogurt parfait!!
This included:
1 container of Chobani Greek Yogurt with Peach
huge handful of blueberries
1 nectarine
1/2 banana
1/4 cup Kashi Go Lean Crunch
1 TBSP Naturally More PB
This mix was AMAZING!! And got me pretty full! I am curious how long it will hold me over!! I love summer fruits! That nectarine was awesome! I am definitely picking more up at the store today! I’ve also realized I am addicted to Naturally More PB. I just can’t get enough! It’s great on everything!! Not sure what to make for dinner… something easy and summery for sure! Any suggestions??

This is randon, I know, but I might be coming to Memphis for a weekend in July or August. I've got a friend there, and when I say friend I mean a boy, and while I'm in town I'll probably need to get a run in. Maybe we can meet up and run together!
Good job girl. The heat really affects me too. Way to push through it. Nice reward too. Yummy
Girl, I don't know how you do it. I'm proud of you :)
Great run! Especially in the heat. Some times a glorious water fountain is all the motivation you need.
The sun really is the worst part. Maybe I need to try out the 3 magic sips of water when I'm out there!
Water fountains can make a hard, hot run soooo much better!
I love nectarines...I hadn't had one in forever and I bought some this week! I'm definitely getting more!
SMOOOOTHIEEEEEE! Dont listen to me, I think I just have an addiction, haha.
