Another Monday

Mondays really aren't ever that much fun.  But we survive them.  I survived today's 5 mile run.  I didn't do much more than survive it, however.  It took me 50 minutes.  I wasn't really feeling it today.  I took Pandora with me but shut it off about 15 minutes into my run.  I just wanted to hear myself today.  I had a bit on my mind and I suppose I just wanted to think.  Unfortunately, it didn't make the run much easier.  Just about 3/4ths of a mile into my run my deep quad muscles that ached all weekend started screaming at me.  I didn't really know what was going on and thought for a split second I might not finish today's run. But I ignored them and carried on. 

I've decided that I need to start eating better.  My dinners usually consist of raw veggies, hummus and tortilla chips.  Not necessarily bad, other than the tortilla chips, but not very substantial either.  I can't really cook, but can't never could do noth'n.  So tonight I cooked roasted butternut squash sprinkled with the squash seeds that I also toasted, sugar snap pees and basil chicken.  It was purrrrrty good, if I must say so myself.
