I'm way too much of a wimp to run in the current freezing temperatures, so I decided to hit the gym for seven miles on the treadmill. Pre-run, I fueled up with a doughy bowl of raw oats, banana, strawberries and almond milk.
This bowl makes me excited for spring to arrive!
While running, I tried to keep things interesting by randomly varying my speed from 6.2 mph to 10 mph, maxing out at the latter for two one-minute intervals. They were rough! I finished in 58:32, roughly an 8:21 min/mile average pace.
After some stretching, I came home to a fabulous leftover lunch. Normally I'm not a doggy-bag type of person, but last night's meal was too delicious not to take home.
I had a heap of brown rice with a few chunks of soy beef in spicy sauce:
As well as four pieces each of Hawaii and Veggie roll.
Almost as good the second time. Rice is actually my least favorite grain, but it paired well with the rest of the meal and definitely filled me up.
The rest of the afternoon will be spent organizing the apartment and getting my act together for the semester ahead. Enjoy the end of your weekend!
Are you a leftover lover or leaver?
PS- Today is both an exciting and difficult day for my family. Prayers would be appreciated for both situations :)
