Not loving the fall weather that has come down on us all of a sudden. I still need to go to this little old Italian tailor that my friend recommended me to months ago, so I can get my pants hemmed up before winter! I dislike wearing heels all the time, and since I have two pairs of granny heels I’m just not fond of the way they look anymore.
What is everyone up to this weekend? I think we’re heading out to test drive a subaru that my Boyf is looking at purchasing.Â
Re-cap of 2010 fitness here.
It slipped my mind that I haven’t done a monthly fitness post last month. So here’s what it consisted of in August. Not much!
August 3. Tuesday — Ran 8k on the trails
August 5. Thursday — Ran 7k (had some troubles)
August 8. Sunday — Played Soccer
August 10 Tuesday — Ran 5k on the trails
August 12. Thursday — Ran 7k
August 15. Sunday — Played Soccer
August 16. Monday — Ran 3-4k
August 20. Friday — Ran 6k w/ Boyfriend (36 mins)
August 22. Sunday — Played Soccer
August 29. Sunday — IRONMAN CANADA (I did actually end up walking 16k this day to our hotel and back… failing to realize how far it actually was).
Complete active August fail on my part. Breathing issues, and not being motivated because of it. I will own September, just you watch. There are some races coming up this month, and I want to do them!! I need to remember to do short speedy workouts, and long runs. Not every run has to be a personal record. Not every run needs to be fast. Not every run has to be perfect. I need to remember this quote that I posted:

I haven’t managed to upload my vacation photos to the computer yet, so those will be put on hold for the next little while. So we’ll just talk about my wonderful supper last night. I intended on making chicken kabobs except I didn’t have any skewers. It turned out perfect though. As I just grilled the chicken and yellow pepper.
Side dishes were spinach salad, with cherry tomatoes, fresh mushrooms, cucumber, raisins, slivered almonds, and strawberries with homemade dressing*, and some roasted red pepper risotto (from a box but ohhh so good).
* Salad dressing:
Then ended up having some sweet decadent dessert (by my standards) to go with it. Watermelon, pineapple, grapes, strawberries drizzled with a bit of chocolate sauce. Mmm.
Can you believe I had to photoshop those pictures of the food? My camera skills are getting out of hand! I need my tripod. Where is it!?
Have a great day all!!
