Rainy Run

So happy to be getting back in the groove of things. Today has been an awesome Saturday. It started with a 6am morning run with my running group. It was raining pretty heavily when we started out, but I LOVE running in the rain. The past two Saturdays it has been raining, so I have been fine with that.We decided on 8 miles and I felt great starting out. I really enjoy the people that I have been running with. They are amazing runners and great motivators. We had some major hills that I rocked thanks to them!!! My right knee started to really act up at mile 7. Not bad enough that I felt the need to stop, but it did worry me.

8 rainy miles!! Loved it. 

 Breakfast was a banana and Clif bar.

After my run, even though I was a hot sweaty mess, I headed to the grocery store. I really needed to go and it was early enough that I knew it would not be too crowded. I did get a few stares, but who cares! I was so COLD in the store since my clothes/socks were wet and the AC, that I grabbed a hot chocolate from Starbucks.

Skim milk, no whip.  

I foamed rolled and put on my compression socks to wear for the rest of the day. I hope that this will help with the knee pain I had during my run today. 

Protein shake.

After I showered and got all the groceries but away, we headed to the hospital. There was a little someone that I could not wait to get my hands on!!

OMG, he is the sweetest thing ever!!!

Late afternoon lunch. Turkey, pepperjack cheese, lettuce and olive oil mayo on whole wheat. Strawberries, 6 triscuits and some fresh guac.

After lunch, we took this girl, daughter #3 shopping!! She starts her new job at a law firm in a few days and she needs "big girl" clothes.  This college grad needs a new wardrobe to go with that degree. Nordstrom was having a great sale!! She purchased 3 pairs of shoes at Nordstrom and also got some great deals at Ann Taylor and the Limited. She reminded me of Julia Roberts from Pretty Woman, "Big mistake. Huge. I have to go shopping now!"

We got home kinda late and I needed to get dinner going. I grabbed these veggie burgers at the store and decided to try one out. I loved it!!

I enjoyed it on a whole wheat bun with a handful of chips.

I had a great day today. It started with my alarm at 5:15am and am now headed to bed at 10:30pm. It was the perfect Saturday!!
