Tuesday: Speed Session, Gilad and Yoga

So today has been a big day actually, I got up early and ran at my Speed Session.  Today's workout was as follows:

• one mile warmup
• 800 @ 200 fast run/ 200 slower run
• 4 x 1 mile at 6:43
• 800 cool down

It was a pretty great run, and I really enjoy getting my workout in before 7:00 AM.  It is never pleasant when the alarm goes off, but fabulous when it is over.  I was home a bit before 7:30 AM, and I made a huge and I mean huge breakfast: scrambled eggs with spinach, turkey sausage and a bagel with goat cheese.  

Now the only misfortune of my morning was that I forgot to put vaseline under my heart rate monitor and it chafed a hole in my chest.  It is just the worst.  I took one of my most painful showers to date and have been vigilantly applying neosporin ever since.  

At Bible study, I really almost put in a prayer request about my chafed chest; it is that painful.  What I did actually do at Bible study was eat a french toast bagel from Panera with cinnamon walnut cream cheese.  I also had coffee with some sort of chocolate creamer.  It was just amazing and I may in fact need to invest in some sort of similar chocolate coffee creamer that will make my mornings delightful.  

And Confession (it is no surprise): Young Sloan was late to nursery school this morning.  I packed his lunch last night and left it open on the counter only to hear strange scurrying a few minutes late and see a tiny tiny mouse running as fast as it could with a peanut butter pretzel clasped in its mouth.  The pretzel was bigger than its head and it ran with it head first down the cable cord from the kitchen television.  

After a few nasty words to The Beast, I sprinted in to tell the man of the house.  By the time we made it back to the kitchen, there was another (OR THE SAME!!) mouse, eyes huge with pretzel lust, scurrying down the cable cord.  So, it is time to engage other mouse fighting tactics as we clearly have a kitchen issue.  

For this reason, I had to pack an entirely new lunch on limited time this morning and we were late. So late!!

Got in a Yoga and Gilad workout in the afternoon!!

Also, confession: I watched Sex and the City II tonight, and it was too terrible for words, but pretty clothes!!
