Still in a good groove

I got in a run today with my two best running partners, well I guess my only running partners :). I took my newly fixed stroller on its first ride tonight. And it works better than it did brand new!! Yeah for hubby for fixing it!

So it was a hot run, about 27C or 85F out. I bribed them with an ice cream stop. Not sure if this was a good idea or not. It made for many stops for me to "fix" their melting mess but they love ice cream. I think I ran about 4K. My oldest ran on her own for about 1/2K! She just kept running to the next light pole, good for her too.

Menu today was

breakfast : green monster, tea

snack: hard boiled egg, 1/2 avocado (someone at work was eating this the other day and I thought that looks so yummy)

lunch: spinach salad with blueberries, strawberries, goat cheese and almonds

snack: apple

dinner: chicken, couscous, corn on cob, broccoli

I'm supposed to do a leg workout now but I'm looking at the time and the mess that awaits me to clean and thinking the cleaning will conquer tonight, BUT at least I got a run in!

Oh and we had two unexpected visitors today, it was so nice to see them, one were friends that we haven't seen in almost a year! The other was just stopping for a few minutes before his daughters swim class but it was just so nice for both to stop in and I was glad I was home.

Have a great night!

Mmm I love salads with fruit in them, makes them that much better! :)

It's great that you got out for a run in the heat, I wish I was able to stand the heat. Love that fact that your daughter runs along with you too, so great!!

Salads with fruit are so yummy. I'm impressed you ran in the heat, that is so hard.

I usually get up super early to avoid the heat!
