Today started out quickly for me – especially my run. After dropping the kids off for the morning at their Summer Academy I stopped at the track to get in 4 miles.
Lola (my Garmin) said I was speedy this morning. It’s all relative, folks. That’s a nice pace for me.
The kids are only there until noon so of course those few hours flew by – I can’t even recount what happened to the rest of my morning, but I can tell you I came back home and treated myself to a sandwich.
Um, no lunch-meat is NOT clean, but I did use Boar’s Head so I don’t feel too bad. Blazing Buffalo Chicken and Turkey Pastrami on rye with spicy mustard and spinach. A nice treat. I rarely do sandwiches like this anymore.
For dessert frozen blueberries! I LOVE frozen berries in the summertime. I pop them in the microwave for about 40 seconds and they’re still slightly frozen and so refreshing in the heat.
I knocked out some writing and returned some emails then had a little fun with my running shoes since I’ve decided to keep them. I got the new New Balance 890′s at Fitbloggin last month and have been running in them ever since. I love how light they are and they fit my big ass large feet well.
Every shoe deserves a little bling. I bought this 26.2 charm at Disney’s Princess Half Marathon earlier this year; and I’m all about the bright colors for the summer. Fun!

Hey just discovered your blog today….still poking around. Lovin it so far. I started running towards the last quarter of 2010. I started off not even able to run half of a quarter mile to running 5 miles straight, 3 times a week. running was new to me but I figured if I could do it when I was TWO there’s no reason I shouldn’t be able to do it now
Running along with changing my habits resulted in me losing 40–I’ve never felt better! Thanks for the link to Blackgirlsrun.com. So happy to find running blogs by us!

Thanks for your kind words, Tonya! And, congrats on the running and 40 pounds! Truly inspiring!
