New Loves

Oh how I love PEANUT BUTTER PUFFINS!  They were on sale this week at Dillon's so I had to get a box.  I can't bring myself to buy them on a regular basis, because they don't last very long.  I normally get about 4 servings per box.  YIKES!  Those pillows of peanut butter heaven are just so yummy, it's worth the splurge every now and again.

Well they were good while they lasted.
I have also really loved running lately.  I mean I've been jogging off and on for about 9 years now, but I'm just now considering myself a runner.  I never really pushed myself all of those years, but I'm just on a high right now.  I think it's because I was never into sports growing up, and this is my time to be competitive.  And since all I have to worry about is me, it's a win win.  I did my long run on Monday since I missed Sunday, and I was debating all day whether I would pick back up to my normal training.  I went on a walk with Jordan in the morning, but I still felt something missing.  In the evening I found myself home alone and there was just one thing on my mind.  Running.  So I decided to go ahead and get in my two miles.  So I did part of the loop that Jordan helped me scout out the other day and it turned out to be about 2 1/2 miles.

I felt really good and strong on this run.  One of the highlights is running past the Cosmosphere.  I also pass the community college and high school.  I tried to stay as consistent as I could, but run hard the whole time.  My times were: Mile One : 9:35 Mile Two : 10:09 1/2 Mile : 8:53
I definitely need to get some strength training in today though.  And visit one of my favorite grocery stores here in town one last time.  I'll kind of miss Hutch.
