Four Things Thursday

  1. My race is on SATURDAY! I can’t believe it’s already here. I don’t know whether I’m more nervous or excited–probably a bit of both. I’m excited to see everyone’s costumes. It’s gonna be great. I hope it’s not too cold, but I’ll plan for that because it starts up in the mountains. 
  2. I ate THE BEST gyro ever tonight for dinner. There’s a burger place in my town that makes killer gyros, and every time we go to said restaurant, I have the gyro. Nothing else compares. Definitely one of my top-5 favorite foods
  3. I bought myself bright pink arm warmers. I don’t know how I’ll feel about wearing the pink (I’ve never really been a  pink-wearing person), but they were the only ones in stock on runningwarehouse.com. I’ll do a review on them soon.
  4. Here’s a sneak peak at my ninja turtle costume!
Cowabunga!

 

 

Three Things Thursday

  1. I ate the most amazing pumpkin roll tonight. It was so good that I’m definitely going to make it for part of Thanksgiving dinner/dessert. Seriously SO. GOOD.
  2. I ran 5 miles yesterday, and let me tell you: it’s getting cold. The run was at a pretty good pace–I think because I didn’t want to freeze.  I’m hoping to not go into hibernation mode during the winter, though. I have races to look forward to–such as the Winter Sun 10K and the St. George Half Marathon (which I’m still on the fence about). I haven’t even run the half but am already planning my next races. It’s exciting to see that I’m improving, which is motivating me to sign up for more races. I can’t wait to get completely healthy again so I can push myself more. More awesomeness is in my future! Did I mention that I love running?
  3. This video is so good and really gets you thinking about your health/habits:

Wasn’t that good/sad? I don’t generally drink a lot of soda, but now I think I’ll cut back even more–even though I knew most of these risks before.

Half marathon in 9 days (8 if you count the day of the race, which I just might since I have to wake up at like 5:oo a.m.). Getting more nervous!

Do you drink a lot of soda?
