Rise ?N? Shine

Rise and shine, it’s running time!

I bounded out of bed bright and early for a 4-mile run this morning. Before I headed out, I made myself a mini breakfast of whole wheat bread with Barney Butter and banana slices on top.

My run went well this morning. My legs felt like a million pounds when I first started out, but once I warmed up, I cruised along. I ended up finishing in 35:43, which is an 8:55 pace. Not too shabby for 6:30 AM before I had my iced coffee!

On my run this morning, I tried out my new kicks. My buddy (and former colleague) from New Balance sent them to me for my marathon training. The 759′s are lightweight, but supportive, even a little cushion-y. They’re cool-looking, too!

While I was out seizing the day, these two guys snoozed away.

They’re so cute!

After my run, I refueled with half of a banana with Teddie peanut butter and a coffee + soy milk + chocolate protein powder drink.

After breakfast, Mal and I visited the house that we’re considering making an offer on for the second time. (FYI: It’s not the house in my previous post. That was just some random house we looked at.) We’re getting closer to making an offer, but we’re not rushing into anything either. My thinking is if it was meant to be, it will be.

This week’s Feel Great Weight post was inspired by all of my travel this past month: 4 Ways to Keep Your Waistline in Check While Traveling.

Do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever had an unsettling/eerie experience?

P.S. My college finances post is coming soon. I didn’t have time to finish it this morning, but it’s almost done! Stay tuned!
