Good morning!
Last night I shocked myself. I put off my run all day and then I actually made it out for a run- get this- at 8:45pm! Typically, when I put off my workouts they just don’t happen, but Eric agreed to do a run-bike with me last night. :) It was the first night time run I have done all year I think!
Before the run, I decided that I wanted to run at a quicker pace for the entire run and really challenge myself. Unfortunately, my dinner had not settled and my stomach was feeling a bit full! I made the best of it though and just tried to ignore it.
The run:
- Duration: 39 minutes
- Distance: 4.66 miles
- Avg pace: 8:34 min/mile
- Max heart rate: 168 bpm
- Avg heart rate: 154 bpm
It was a great run!! I felt awesome really pushing myself and running fast. Eric kept cheering me on from his bike and then we high fived at the end. lol. ;) It was so nice going on a run when it wasn’t super hot out!
PS- Only 49 days until my half marathon!!! :)
I was so hungry when I got back I had half of a cantaloupe right out of the skin- Caitlin style!
This morning I started my day with a wonderful green monster of course. I had it next to my basil plant that is finally growing and my dill plant that is not.
I made my Pumpkin-Banana-Kale green monster and it was delicious!
On today’s agenda:
- Bake Eric vegan cupcakes (AM)
- Clean house (AM)
- Take Eric out this afternoon (PM)
- Prep for tonight (PM)
- 7:30pm: Have friends over for BBQ and drinks (PM)
I am off to bake some vegan cupcakes in a bit! What kind should I make??
Enjoy your day. :)
Hope you have fun for Eric’s birthday today! We would have loved to stop by! Is the weather good? …it’s raining here!
Sounds like you’ve got a FUN day planned. Enjoy it!!
Sounds like an awesome run! Congrats!
Good luck on your busy day ahead of you. I’m sure the birthday boy will love whatever you bake for him!
xxoo

How much sun does your dill get? Dill likes hot and sunny!
I was looking through Vegan Cupcakes and spotted many interesting recipes — Smores, Chocolate and Vanilla, Maple or Peanut Butter. I hope Eric has a fun afternoon and great HBD night with the friends!
Ashley- well that explains it because our weather has been so rainy this summer! bah! ~A
I saw on Twitter that your carrot cupcakes didn’t turn out so well–bummer! They did look really cute though.
Awesome run Angela!! I just ate a cantaloupe the exact same way, except I had cottage cheese in the middle ;) Have a great Saturday!
