The last few days I have...
* Been tormented by the biggest house
spider ever. I thought I was safe now, because we (not really we, as I
definitely did not partake) had managed to kill 'Biggest House Spider No.1'
about a week ago, but now there is another one, living in the same nook and
it's out for revenge. It only seems to come out in the evening and during
moments where I have momentarily let my guard down. An example of this would be
whilst on the loo or in the shower...
* Run home from work a few times and been
high-fived by a fellow runner. Yesterday's run
was much more energetic than today's. My legs felt so stiff and achy after
work. I really felt like I was plodding along very slowly. So, when an
unidentified runner from my old club ran past in the opposite direction and enthusiastically
high-fived me, it put a big grin on my face and
made me dig that bit deeper. And camaraderie is the name of that run.
* Eaten lots of scrummy food.
So, we decided to try the food at a pub that we always drive past but have
never eaten at. I had a fairly unhealthy Caesar salad, with pan-fried salmon
and mega amounts of Parmesan cheese - my favourite. It was delicious. We also
ordered some chips that had been drizzled with truffle oil and sprinkled (not
really the right word given the size of the parmesan shavings)
with parmesan. Shaved
parmesan would probably be more accurate. I felt like this balanced out the
abundance of lettuce very nicely!
* Thought about entering lots of
marathons. I get paid tomorrow, so this may well be realised. I want to up my
game and do a few ones that I haven’t done before. I love a good goal and it
will sure make me get out there and get in the miles.
* Nearly puked up after sniffing a protein
shake. My Protein Oats and Whey is definitely the tastier shake. However, Maxi
Nutrition Lean Definition offers more in terms of added nutrients and the amount of
protein you get vs. calories. Having said that, it tastes disgusting mixed with
water and smells terrible. That's why, upon sniffing the latter protein shake,
post-run, I gagged. Downed it, but didn't enjoy it.
