Today is my hubsy’s birthday. I was going to get up and make him breakfast this morning, but we slept in instead :) When did I get so old that 6:30 was sleeping in?!? Breakfast is his FAVORITE meal of the day, so we’ll be having that for dinner. Homemade biscuits and sausage gravy. I’m going to be good good today so I can eat some of the deliciousness. Of course, it will be modified, but shhhhhh, don’t tell. ;-) I’m also going to make a pineapple upside down cake. I apparently am out of applesauce, so I’m gonna run to the store to get some this morning. Today is going to be a packed one, and I want to make sure we get it all done.

On the running front, I am aiming for 4 miles today. I’ll probably just hop on the treadmill due to the time situation. Hopefully I can make it again… I have only done 4 miles once on the treadmill. And, I decided te race I am going to run to replace the marathon… it’s an Iron Girl 10K. Since I can already run a 10K, finishing isn’t a good enough goal. And, since the race is 3 months away, I am going to focus on building my distance for a couple more weeks, and then I am going to start some speed work. Oh yeah, I am so ready to ditch the 11 minute mile average. I am aiming for an 8 minute pace. Think it’s doable? We’ll see :)

Alright,  I am off to get this day going. Hope all you chickies have a fabulous Wednesday!!

Oh, I forgot… I am wearing a pair of 12’s today! Yes, that’s right. 12’s! Yay! They are not my skinniest pair… in fact, they are a larger pair from Old Navy, but OMG, I have been too chubby for these for a year and they totally fit again! I heart running!!! Okay, that’s all :)

Dinner is done and OMG, I am stuffed. Like uncomfortably full. I ate WAY too much, even though it seemed like I ate less than usual. The bad part… the cake I made? No! It was good calorie wise. It was the cake that the hubsy brought home. That I wasn’t going to eat. But the piece I sliced up for my son? He didn’t want it. So I tried it. Then proceeded to eat it all. And 450 calories later. Yes. FOUR HUNDRED and FIFTY (at least according to the website, and that is for one serving. NASTY!). Glad I ran today…

So, I ended up about 500 calories over my usual. Going to have to try to hit the low end of my range for the next couple of days.

Night, chickies!
