Day 11

I made myself the perfect breakfast today. Half a whole wheat bagel, one egg over-easy, and 3 slices of turkey bacon. OMHeaven. It was delicious. I don’t know how I did it but my egg was cooked to perfection. The yoke was this gelatinous stage of somewhere in between easy and hard and wow. How do I order that? I’ll have my eggs over-jelled.

I didn’t want to go to the gym today. I’m lacking some motivation lately and it’s probably due to the fact I’m not working as much right now. Once I got to the gym though, I felt this weird sense of calm and comfortableness, almost like home. Like I know what I’m doing here. I decided to kick it up a notch today in my run. I felt rejuventated as I ran because all of a sudden it became easier. I wasn’t huffing and puffing the first 15 minutes, rather I could have carried on a conversation the whole time. It felt fantastic. There’s a specific treadmill that I mark as my own and I love running on it. At the gym, the treadmills are up on the 2^nd floor overlooking the weight floor and this treadmill is just awesome because it’s off in the corner and overlooks everything. To the left it overlooks the racquetball courts. Today as I was running I was watching this man work out with a trainer. I noticed I bicep curl more than he does….just an observation, that’s all….

I decided after my 30 minute normal run, I’d add an extra 15 minutes and finish 3 miles. And I did it! I’ve never run for 45 minutes in my life, IN. MY. LIFE. I thought I was tired after my normal run, boy was I wrong. 3 miles is far for me. Personal victory! I felt so great afterwards. I was walking around like I owned that gym! My knee started killing tonight so I’m wondering if I should be incorporating some other cardio programs other than running. Oh well, I’ll figure it out…
