RUNNING OUTSIDE CLEARS THE MIND AND LUNGS!!

As I sit here at the Houston office drinking my protein shake (& my Starbucks) I was trying to think when was the last time I felt this invigorating feeling. I mean even though I'm beginning to get very clumsy dropping cinnamon all over my phone and keys, leaning up against the car to get something out of my workout bag or forgetting to grab that one thing I need to email someone about (which I still need to do) and dropping my phone three times within 15 minutes.

In all seriousness, after work I went to Memorial Park to run the loop which is exactly 3.1 miles (that's what I've been told but my MapMyRun said 2.90 & NikeRun said 3.1) and I finished under 12 min per mile. It felt great afterward singing out loud (I know I'm not the only one) and full of energy. So this morning I woke up and said "Let's do this Artie" and made my way to Memorial Park again for another run. While it felt great to get back outside in the morning (morning runs are the best) it seemed a little harder this morning. None-the-less i finished the 3.1 miles and was very happy with myself. I can't remember the last time I ran 6 miles within 12 hours.

So now that I'm running again i can ruin my diet. Last night I bought the best protein for shakes Gold Standard Whey (Delicious Strawberry) and this morning hit the Target got a Mango fruit mix (pineapples & strawberries), Soy Milk (light vanilla) and Zone bars (strawberry yogurt). My mother bought me this Magic Bullet blender wannabe and voila I had my morning shake. Ingredients: 1 Cup of Soy Milk (70 calories), 1 Cup of frozen fruit (70 calories) and 1.5 scoops of Protein (165 calories). Woot Woot!!

FUNNY Pic of the Month!! OMG - I walked into Starbucks and what do I see a woman with a full head of pink rollers. I had to take a picture and share it. LOL Who does that?? (she does)

Alright...Go Have a Great Day!!
