Tralalalalala - 3 miles under 30!!
Nov 04 2008 10:24

So, I had to add this to my journal:

FINALLY got my 3 mile run under 30 minutes! Finished on Sunday at 29.27! That is an all-time low for me!

I think I was awed and inspired by watching the NYC Marathon on Sunday morning. The elite runners are, admittedly, a bit, erm, intense, for lack of a better word, but at the same time, it just shows you: human beings are, overall, far more capable of pushing themselves then we usually think! So even though my lungs were burning that last two minutes, I kept booking towards a sub-30 minute finish! And I reaped my reward.

Training is going well this week; I've already got 10.5 miles under my belt this week, and I've got yoga tonight (voted this morning, so that's taken care of!!!) and a 4-mile run planned for tomorrow night.

I am really thinking my friend and I can do our 15k in under 100 minutes. Which would be GREAT, I think!

Post-yoga dinner for me, the bf, and a friend:

Grilled Shrimp and Chicken Salad:

Pan-sautee the protein with a tsp of olive oil and Greek Spices (McCormick's) and some garlic cloves. Set aside to cool. Add them to:

Raw spinach base
