yay me

hit another milestone at the gym again tonight...  tonight's pace averaged out so that almost each mile was below 15minutes and the time definitely was below 45minutes


i was proud of the first few laps - i did more than just one lap on at a time - excited to try that again tomorrow...
i was lagging some in the second 2 miles - there some aspects of stiffness that occur after that first mile that i feel like i need to walk out...  and then there's always that feeling like i really have to us the washroom...  most of that is in my head...
then i got a text from a friend - i know silly while running but i listen to pandora on my phone so it makes sense - it reminded me that my day may be stressful but it was tolerable and achievable and that the battles arent that bad if battles at all - just how you choose to percieve them
and it got me motivated to run some more spurts in the mix
and then of course with pandora you get a few good songs and the feet start moving faster again - tonight's fun songs included bullet proof by laroux, a phoenix song that is not on the album i just bought, a vampire weekend song again not on the album i just bought, and randomly a rusted root song...
the next thing you know the 3 miles are complete and i am in the side room stretching....
ok - i actually was in the locker room when i remembered i didnt stretch - so i made the effort to head back out and stretch...  may be the most enjoyable part of the workout....

for dinner i had crock pot (or slow cooker) chicken - it was OK - i always find it a little dry but for the effort and taste and convenience - i will do it again...
started a new regiment of trying to eat dinner at the dining room table instead of the coffee table in front of the tv - i am liking that - the little guy not so much

then it was a 2 hours vampire diary marathon... really feels like a well rounded day...
