A very long treadmill run

nicely, the sector obviously did not give up these days, however it was truly a miserable day for a long run! One appearance out of doors, and that i right now notion, "Do I need to?" There were 25 mph winds and freezing rain--because of the wind, the rain regarded like it turned into transferring completely horizontal in preference to falling from the sky. I ought to hear the wind, and started debating in my head whether or not it would be greater miserable to run my 12 miles outdoor or on the treadmill.

I in the long run selected to run on the treadmill.

however first, I made breakfast. I delivered peanut butter to my favourite concoction nowadays, and it was the correct addition:

For the ones of you that have requested, these are the measurements i use... I cook dinner 30 grams of brief-cooking oats in water (simply 90 seconds in the microwave); then I pinnacle it with thirteen grams of Marzetti fats-loose caramel dip, 14 grams of peanut butter, 7 grams of shredded coconut, and 7 grams of mini chocolate chips. This bowl became 8 PointsPlus (it's 6 PP with out the peanut butter).

After procrastinating some time longer, I subsequently installation the treadmill for a long run--computer with Netflix grew to become to Bones (i would never visible it, so I started looking from Season 1), water bottle, fan. i used to be debating among walking simply 7 miles or doing the entire 12 (or someplace in-among). running 12 miles on a treadmill is pure torture; so I determined that I may want to cease after 9 (the length of my longest Ragnar leg). but once I got that some distance, I determined that a few greater miles wouldn't harm, and i would be brilliant proud for sticking it out.

I set the treadmill to 6.four mph and simply left it there until mile 12, when I began increasing each minute, then every 30 seconds, just to get performed.

i was so satisfied to be achieved! surprisingly, my legs failed to sense tired or sore or some thing--and this is the longest run i have performed considering my marathon. that means I both ought to have been going quicker, or the treadmill is simply tons simpler on my joints. but regardless, I burned 1,051 calories, so i used to be satisfied with that :)

Renee and i had plans to get together for wine tonight, so i was relying on all my interest PointsPlus to allow me half a bottle of wine (11 PP). however she ended up having to reschedule, so i found myself with quite a few extra PP after dinner. I don't should use them today, however I typically like to use my pastime PP on the days that I earn them. So i will probable have an extra snack this night, maximum possibly involving peanut butter.

Eli become constructing a fort for his navy guys, whilst Estelle decided that he became accomplished:

Eli has been actually into navy-the entirety for more than one years now. His preferred present that he's ever gotten became certainly an $eleven bucket of infantrymen. And he can by no means have enough! on every occasion he gets money, he buys more. And simply as i was typing this, he delivered me a note that he wrote on a sucker wrapper...

"From Eli; I need for Christmas some military men." We sold him a massive bucket of soldiers, plus a group of navy cars, so I think he's going to be pretty satisfied.

Jerry sold me some thing for Christmas this yr (typically, we don't change gifts with every other), so this weekend, I should move get him some thing. i have honestly no concept what to get him, though! He keeps telling me that he placed loads of thought into my present, so i'm feeling the pressure ;)
