"I am a runner." This is my new mantra. I have been saying this to myself for 3 days now. I went for a long run Saturday at a very slow pace. (Long run for me was 5.3 miles) I repeated this mantra to myself throughout the run. I was surprised today when I went out for my run and felt so good. I think my positive self talk is working! So my total for the week was 8.4 miles towards my 300 by December 31.
My birthday is this week and for my birthday my husband, Eric and I will be celebrating by running in a 5K in Navarre, Ohio. This was per my request. He is so supportive of me and my running and health goals. I am realizing how lucky I really am to have this kind of support every single day. He is my "live in motivator". He asks me about my progress and actually cares about me meeting my goals and helps me stay focused and figure out what I need to do next.
As for the cucumber noodle salad...fabulous! It is spicy and sweet, a perfect side dish in the summer time. Cucumbers seem to be a crop that is doing well around this area as I am finding them on sale every where. I even have co workers giving them away because they have so many.
A tip for the day. I went to Chipotle tonight. Usually this doesn't seem like a "diet friendly" idea. However, I found a way to make it work for me. I got a salad no rice bowl, and then loaded it up with salsa, chicken, and guacamole (this is healthy fat). The salad comes with a tomato based spicy dressing to top it off.
