yesterday was a Mexican food filled day. For lunch I made fajitas – which hubs was not too jazzed about. I had sirloin strips I purchased from Wegmans and I wanted to use them before they expired! After seasoning the strips I sauteed them with some peppers and onions and threw them on some tortillas with some cheese.. Yummy in MY tummy.. I do think I overcooked the meat though.
Hubby seemed to be having a craving for Qdoba, so I told him we could go there for dinner. I enjoyed a small tortilla soup with no meat, and a mini quesadilla. I love Mexican food, so I didn’t mind having some more for dinner. After dinner, we walked around the shopping center we were in, and discovered a new burger place – Timothy Dean’s Burgers – apparently the chef was on one of the popular cooking shows. The pics of the burgers looked tasty – so we will definitely be back to try it.
I woke up this morning not as sore as I thought i’d be. I can feel that weird twinge in the back of my left leg though. I am hoping it goes away on its own – by tomorrow! I will do some stretching later tonight.. boo. My co-worker told me I should be careful with it, and I know shes right.
My schedule this week:
Monday – rest day
Tuesday – easy 3 miles
Wednesday – easy 4 or 5
Thursday – Rest
Friday – 5-8
Saturday – Rest
Sunday – 7-9
This week is supposed to be tapering off.. but since I was a week behind in the training plan.. I may just stick to what is prescribed – even though it’s a repeat of my training last week.
I forgot to add to my post yesterday – but my mid-run fuel was raisins for my long run and I think they worked out great. I didn’t have to stop to retrieve them or even eat them.. the only problem is they kinda stick to the box, but with a few hard pops on my palm I was able to get some out – or grab them out. I am not running fast, so I am able to do some of that stuff. I also slowed my pace down a bit yesterday to ensure I could get through the whole 8 miles. My average pace was closer to 12minutes than my normal ~ 11 minutes. So I ended up finishing 8 miles in 1:35.. not too bad. I would have liked to have finished in 1:30.. but i’ll aim for that race day!
