I may drive a minivan but I don't have to wear mom jeans

Blah. It’s how I feel right now. It’s no wonder. Friday and Sunday, I ate crap and way too much of it. I am really angry at myself. Especially, yesterday because I was only eating out of boredom and I was perfectly aware of that with every bite of cheese and crackers I stuffed into my face. Add to that, the run I skipped yesterday and well, it really wasn’t my finest day.

There was a good day sandwiched in between the badness. Saturday, I completed my 5 mile run before most people even roll out of bed. The joy of having a toddler and an infant means there is no such thing as sleeping in. The run went well, it was a cool morning and I ran on the path behind my subdivision that goes along the Monocacy River. I decided to do 9/1 run/walk intervals and it worked really well for me. I had 12-12:30 miles throughout. I would love to be faster but this is where I am right now. The only bad part of the run was this:

Blurry image. I took it through my armband holder.

Mud! A big stretch of it that was about 15 yards long. No way around it, I had to tiptoe through it. My Saucony’s are not so pretty anymore.

 

Saturday night I made a dinner of Bourbon-spiced pork with sweet potatoes and apples. Or as I like to call it Autumn. It was beyond delicious and you will definitely be seeing the recipe here since Hubby asked to have it again next weekend.
Hopefully, the bad eating is behind me and I can muster up the enthusiasm to get in all my runs this week. I’m glad I don’t have one scheduled today. I didn’t get much sleep last night. Scott was at the Ravens game and didn’t get home until almost 2:00 AM. I hate night games, I can’t sleep well until he is safe at home. Also, because I watch way too much ID channel. I’ll be getting to bed early tonight.

How do you cure the blah’s?
