It has been a busy past few days. This past Saturday I ran a very popular race in Madison, the annual Crazy Legs!! It's an 8K, so 5 miles, and this year was the first year I was actually ready. I ran it with a friend, which always helps, but unfortunately it was COLD, RAINY, and WINDY. But once we got running I was okay and I finished just over 47 minutes-- not bad! Afterwards we snagged our free beers and headed to lunch.
That evening I had a little girls night because David was gone. We feasted on bacon-wrapped shrimp, turkey meatballs in a cranberry chili sauce, twice baked potatoes (made with Greek yogurt instead of sour cream), stuffed crescent rolls, veggies and dip, fruit salad, angel food cupcakes AND, the mother load of all mother loads.... Twix brownies. Oh. My. Gosh... they were deadly, but a very nice treat after a cold race. :) Gotta treat yourself once in a while, right?
The rest of the weekend, and yesterday, I spent helping my parents move. After thirty years of living in the house I grew up in, they moved to Madison. It's bittersweet for me. I'm happy for them, but I'll miss having that as "my home."
With all the moving (and my giant to-do list lurking in the back of my head, it is the end of the semester after all) I wasn't being very careful with what I put into my mouth. I treated myself a little bit more than once in a while, so now today I am trying to get back on track! Starting the morning off with coffee and a smoothie to follow. Tonight I'll go to Zumba for a cross-training session and I think tomorrow I'll run. I am still feeling a bit sore since I didn't stretch as much as I should have after Crazy Legs. Naughty, naughty!
Alright, enough rambling. I have a pile of homework to work on, so I better get going!
Happy May Day!!
