Runner; 1- Rest day; 0

 With my 10k so close, my milage so high and my muscles so sore, I made myself take a mini rest day. I don't understand why it is so extremely hard for me to sit on my butt and do nothing all day. But it is hard, torturously hard. I planned on taking a yoga class only to find out they were doing promo filming during that time. No thank you. The anxiety over being watched totally defeats the entire purpose of yoga. Just saying'.

<--- This is one of my absolute favorite snacks, but to be honest, I could probably put peanut butter on ANYTHING and have it be considered a favorite. I've resorted to buying pre packaged "peanut butter to go" portions because I simply can not be trusted with an entire jar. They say that peanut butter is good for runners, and we should infact eat it - so I use that as permission to eat it way too often. The bananas are a new addition - I'm in love.



----->This was dinner.. yuuuumy. Nothing fancy, just some brown rice and stir fried veggies, but so good. I could have sat there and eaten it all night but didn't out of fear that my stomach might actually explode. Im very lucky that my woman likes/has time to cook because otherwise I would starve. I bake well, but actual cooking? Yeah not my thing.  My last attempt resulted in setting off the smoke detector not once, but three times.  Way to go Heather, way to go.

The woman and I went for a two and a quarter mile run tonight and had a great time. (at least I did, and I think she did!) It's nice running with her because she's not a runner. The idea is to just get out there, do it, and have fun.  It's nice because I'm not freaking out about a pace or extreme milage. My time with her out on the pavement is so fulfilling that those two and a quarter miles feels amazing. Now that she is so busy, I appreciate those little runs together even more than before. I'd say that we are a good team.  Of course a good team isn't anything without their cheerleaders :
