6 Miles Done!

Today I was itching to run all day long. I thought it was going to be a nice sunny day, and it was until about 1pm. Then the clouds took over and the temp barely got over 60 degrees. Oh well, I still wanted to run! I set out with 6 miles as my goal.  I really wanted to try and slow my pace down and take it easy becuase my legs were still feeling a bit stiff.  Somehow my workout on Thursday has caused my hamstrings to kill for 4 days after.

The first 3 miles weren't bad, and then I started to hit some sort of wall. My stomach started churning and my legs got stiff.  My stomach has not been happy with all this wedding stress. It was an absolute mess all weekend, but I thought I was feeling better today.  Apparently not.  I tried to slow my pace a bit and still finished the 6 miles, but it was Not Easy lol.

9.12 pace!

that's 6....not 15 lol.

Dinner was nice and quick yet again.  I made some whole wheat pizza dough last night and Matt took it out of the fridge when he got home from work.  I rolled it out real quick, stuck it in a 425 oven for 5 minutes, put some toppings on and then baked it for another 5 minutes.

My side has pesto, zucchini, broccoli, and mozzarella.  Matt's side has tomato sauce, cheese and turkey pepperoni. 

Yum and we both have leftovers!

Time to go make some black bean burgers for tomorrow night's dinner!



Push the button.....Push the button!!!

Today I did a very scary thing.  I submitted my application to the University of Delaware to get my Graduate Certificate in Biotechnology! Ahhhh!!! I'm honostly so glad I'm done with the application process, but now I will be waiting impatiently until I hear a yes or a no. 

In other news, I have run small distances the past 2 days with my new insoles and have been completely pain free :).  I've been iceing my foot every night and applying the anti-inflammatory cream and I am happy to report that I am getting relief finally. I did pretty similar workouts the past two days that consisted of this:

I can tell my butt is going to be hurting tomorrow!

I finished off my workout with a 20 minute run yesterday and a 30 minute run today.  

Updates From The Weekend:

 The lace lanterns were a success! Thank you pinterest!  I'm going to trim around the edges and then hang them with clear sting outside our venue.  Now I just have to make a lot more haha.

Dinner tonight was easy. I made my whole wheat pizza crust up and topped it with turkey sausage, peppers and cheese. YUM

Recipe

3/4 cup all purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

pinch of salt

3/4 cup warm water

1 tsp dry active yeast

Mix water and yeast together until yeast dissolves.  Let it sit until a froth forms at the top.  In another bowl mix together flours.  Make a well in the middle and add water and yeast misture.  Mix well with your hands and knead until dough is smooth.  Wrap in a greased sheet of saran wrap and put in a warm place for a few hours while it rises.  Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Roll out dough and place ona greased baking sheet.  Bake 5 minutes, add toppings and bake 5 more minutes. Enjoy!

Tomorrow is my first wedding dress fitting!! I'm soo excited to see the dress that's been stuck in my head for the past 7 months!
