Longest run in honor of the Olympics-

With a lot on my mind and wanting to step outside of my comfort zone in honor of the Olympics, I ran my furthest today. It was roughly 13 miles and it was a mental challenge 100 %. After having lots of water with electrolytes powder, half a banana and a protein shake post running, I got in a parking lot yoga session and lots of stretching at home. Once I took a quick nap, my meal of choice was my pasta dish above (veggie pasta, scrambled tofu and stewed lentils). About an hour later, I had Kashi's Lean berry scramble cereal with Almond milk. I had about three hours of sleep last evening so being fatigue was an understatement. The evening was met with my massage foam roll set seen above after a late afternoon nap. Let's just say my body isn't too pleased about all those miles (shock mode).
Well, to celebrate a great day, my running s(hero) and I are hitting the streets O_o. She's in town from Charleston and it was wonderful to run with her (it's like chasing a tiger during the last few miles of a run).
Have you stepped out of your fitness box lately?
Historical July 2012.....
I had a historical July 2012 to say the least....
It was very busy, expensive, rewarding and emotional at the same time. Most of the busyness surrounded 12-14 hour days as I got ready for my Triathlon on July 15 th. It was expensive since I purchased my Ironman watch and frequented the grocery store too often early in the month due to not grocery shopping until the 20 th. Rewarding due to the successful completion of my Tri and stepping outward into long distance running. And emotional due to the humbly experiences encountered due to hard work, spending time with one of my favorite person's in her last weeks of pregnancy and having to deal with a sister needing emergency surgery (expensive due to impromptu plane ticket and not being there during her first days in the hospital).
And, I'm proud to report that with all of that going on, a third payment was made towards my SLs. Woot, woot!! Four payments were made in June due to three pay checks so I'm super excited since no payments were made last year yet twelve has already been made in 2012.
