Since I won’t be spending Christmas with my parents this year, they gave me one of my gifts early.
A new pair of Brooks Trance! Woo hoo! It was perfect timing, since I’ve logged a little over 230 miles, and my knees had started to bother me recently. I thought it was maybe from dance, but now that I think of it, it’s probably because I needed new shoes. So excited to try them out.
Look how clean they are compared to my old pair! When I put them on, I realized right away how needed they really were. I could feel cushioning under the balls of my feet, where my old pair didn’t really have any left. So comfy! I will be sad to see them get all grimy and dirty like the old pair though. They’re so pretty when they’re new and clean. My parents also got me some running socks, which is awesome, and should help cut down on the random little blisters I’ve been getting on the side of my arches.
We drove home from San Francisco today, and let me tell ya, seven hours in the car is not fun. Ever. Traffic moved, which was great, but still, seven hours is a long time. We ended up driving through Carl’s Jr. for lunch and it was so gross. It only further confirmed that I can not do fast food anymore. I felt so icky after eating it, that I had to sleep.
One thing that was really nice about the weekend, was that yesterday, aside from dinner with my parents at Outback, we did nothing. It was glorious. I slept in, watched TV all day, hung out with the dogs, and then ate delicious food. Sadly, most of the veggies I consumed in the past few days were all starches, and I was craving some greens.
Thankfully, tonight, we got some veggies in, by making our “veggie pasta.”
Even better, there’s leftovers so I have lunch tomorrow. Yay!
Squash, zucchini, tomatoes, pine nuts. Yummmmm. What’s your favorite way to get your veggies in?
