And just because it made me smile - I have to brag a little. Today I also clocked my fastest mile so far! Along with my neon green shoes, I splurged on a Nike+ which clocks your speed, distance and calories burnt when you plug it into your ipod, and place the sensor into your shoe. At the end of my run today, it said "This is Tiger Woods, Congratulations! You just recorded your fastest mile so far!". I'm REALLY not sure what Tiger Woods has to do with running quickly, but I'll take it.
Although two miles a day really isn't that far, I'm slowly edging towards being able to run a 5k (about 3.2 miles) every day and then... maybe on to a 10k or a half marathon if I'm brave slash insane enough. I've always wanted to run a half marathon - but I just don't know if I can do it. Maybe someday...
But to help with my running, together Derek and I are working on eating better. For anyone who knows me, if you put any type of bread in front of me - don't expect it to be there when you return. Bread is my absolute weakness. So I am trying to cut it out, at least for a week - and follow a cleaner, healthier diet instead.. even though I walked out of the gym today and yelled cried whined about how I would do embarrassing things for a dinner box from Pizza Hut. But we walked by quickly, I made it out of there safe and pepperoni-less.
Today, I could eat as many fruits as I want. If it is possible to overdose on blueberries, I adamantly believe that I did today. Tomorrow will be a little more trying, because it is nothing but vegetables. Since I'm much less excited about eating vegetables than I am fruit, this should be "muy interesante". My sad excuse for a lunch looks like rabbit food..
But, for those of you who are inspired to try a similar routine I will let you know how it goes! But now, to sit back and relaxxxxxx to prepare for another full day at the office and the gym tomorrow!
And last but not least, a little bit of comic inspiration...
