Laced up and ready to run |
Let me stop right here to tell you how much I love these Saucony Omni 13 shoes. I made the switch back when I started having problems with plantar fasciitis in my right foot and have not looked back. They are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever wore and do a great job of keeping my foot from over pronating while I run.
Now, back to my day. Normally a Tuesday would mean some form of running speed work, but with a different schedule this week, I just had to get an easy 5 mile run in. I haven't really run well since my last race, and today was no different as my pace was much slower then I wanted. Of course it didn't help that it was already hot and humid at 5:15 am. It took me awhile to cool off and stop sweating once I got home, but eventually I was able to shower and head to work.
Breakfast today was 2 scrambled eggs with ham and strawberry yogurt. My morning snack was 2 sticks of string cheese. Lunch was a small portion of leftover cavatini, fresh green beans and an orange. Sadly, I forgot a knife to peel the orange so I ended up a little short on my lunch.
Once home from work, I downed some chips and salsa before changing and heading down to the basement for a strength training workout. Erin was nice enough to stop down to snap a few pictures of me while I was working out. Today's workout included 3 sets of he following:
- Planks
- Push ups
- dumbbell squats
- seated rows
- seated dumbbell shoulder press
- box jumps

After prepping some food for supper, it was off to another night of swimming lessons. With all of my workouts done for the day, I was actually able to shower after getting home and eat supper with the rest of my family (a rare occasion). I was also able to get all of my food prep done for tomorrow before putting my feet up for the evening.
With Erin heading off to play volleyball and Bridget in bed, Abigail and I are watching some American Ninja Warrior together while I'm typing this up.
I'll be back after it again tomorrow morning.
