Whee, “full distance” run!
August 4th, 2009 by Missy
Had a nice run today.. ran to the end of the street and back (as opposed to just to the end of the street last time) which works out to be about a mile and a quarter. Think tomorrow we’ll do a weight training day (one of the P90X videos, I’m sure) and then run again on Thursday. Actually, now that I think about it.. I’m not sure we’ll do anything tomorrow. It is Open House up at school (since school starts on Thursday) so it is possible that we won’t really have time for a workout by the time Dan gets home from work, we go to Open House, eat, etc.. Guess we’ll see.
I need to plan out a longer run. Something that is 2 miles or so from the house would be nice.. I think that if we walk to the end of the road (toward Tatum instead of Scottsdale) and then run to Dynamite and back, it will be about two miles. Guess I’ll check in the car later.
Waiting for Dan to get back from the grocery store right now.. I want to experiment with making a diabetic friendly cake for my grandma (her birthday is coming up). Katie picked up some whole wheat pastry flour for me on the way home from work, and then I’ll use Splenda instead of sugar. It still won’t be -healthy- of course (too much fat) but at least it will be whole wheat and sugar free. I think she isn’t really watching her fat / caloric intake right now.. just sugar and starch and such. Basically, I’m just adapting an excellent red velvet cake recipe that I have and hoping it turns out well!
Workout today: Mile and a quarter jog.
