First outside runs!

Well I did a week of the cleanse. Then I decided I was SO done. Preston said that he didn't think we'd finish, which apparently motivated Nina.  So she's still going, which i'm so proud of her. But I ate bad on Sunday and it was all downhill from there. I  am still doing good thought and trying to stay low on carbs and sugar... trying. HA

I went running last week outside. It felt SO good.  I ended up running 4 miles.  I can run so much better and so much faster outside. I averaged a 11 minute mile I think.. I can't remember. My fastest was around a 8 minute mile. I have a 10 K mapped out. I'm waiting until a little more snow melts before I run on it. And get a little more in shape first of course :)

I got these new workout pants (XL Aerie) and they were falling off my butt the whole time I was running.  I hadn't worn them before but XL always fits or is even tight... definitely can't run in these anymore! I'm sad though...they were cute. Oh well :) 

Finishing up the cleanse I did my first attempt at spaghetti squash with low sodium sauce and ground turkey.  It was pretty good.. the squash needed to be cooked more but I was experimenting.. and going off a bloggers recipe in Texas.. guessing the elevation? Who knows. At least Preston liked it, he said he'd try it again if it was cooked more :) 

We worked out yesterday and continued to work on our C210K program.  We stretched out afterward and it felt sooooo good. My quads and hamstrings have been so sore. 

I'm glad to be out of my anti-workout stage. For a minute there I was hating the gym, I felt like all I did was work and work out. I still kinda feel like that but i'm over my rebelling. For now.  I wish I was more of a morning person and could workout in the morning but I am always so tired and especially at 5.. boo. I'll try it next week :) 

Nina and I went running outside this week and completed a 5K in 45 minutes and I am SO proud of her for doing that. I feel like we are such a good inspiration for each other and keep each other going. I'm grateful I have her to back me up and hold me when I'm weak :) Enough cheesiness.. Until next time!
