The Smell of the Grill (dinner 3.30.09)
Tuesday, March 31, 2009 1:29 No CommentsThe rain cleared out this afternoon so I took a good walk with Bruce and Will. As I was walking I could smell people cooking on their grill so when Mike called to see what we should have for dinner…I said steak! We grilled up a couple of tips and served them with couscous and asparagus. It was a simple dinner but it tasted great. I could have put this steak on another salad but I also had the asparagus that needed to be used so I had to make the decision which would last longer and salad was the winner (but have no doubts, you’ll see it tomorrow!). I neglected the dishes so I am trying to motivate myself to get back up and do them so they are not waiting for me in the morning. Actually I can’t leave them for morning because I have class, darn. I better wrap this up because I want to finish some reading before I go to bed…8 days until take-off!![]()

Thumbs Up!
Monday, March 30, 2009 19:11 No Comments
Saturday on my long run I noticed the funniest thing about my running form. I run with my thumbs sticking straight up on both hands. It actually looks like I’m giving the world permanent ”thumbs up” while I’m jogging! And even when I made a conscious effort to keep my thumbs in check they kept creeping back up. Who knows, but could be very amusing for anyone running near me during the half marathon. That’s about 13.1 miles of “yeah, good job”. Last night I sat down and rearranged my workout schedule for the week because my gang has their spring shows at school on Wed. and Thurs. nights. That means, tonight its ZumbaJ Happy Monday, hope you had a great weekend.
