Fish cravings

Well, you might as well know that I cracked and opened up the package of Swedish Fish.  Not for fuel, just for eating.  Muahaha, so worth it!  After all, my sister Julia is sending gummy bears and those are for running purposes only.  

Eating on my fish has been so yummy, but lately I've felt over-sugared, and bleh.  Maybe it's because I eat about 2 or 3 fishies almost every time I go into my room.  Fuel for cleaning the house, people!  So, I decided to go off sweets for this week.  I admit, this afternoon I've had to remind myself not to eat any Swedish Fish, and I resisted making chocolate chip cookies tonight even though I was cold and hot, melty, gooey cookies sounded so good!

Here's a look at workouts for this past week:
Monday: We babysit the kids for a couple days, so we went on a 2 mile walk.
Tuesday: 2.4 mile run, and another mile walk with the kids.
Wednesday: 2.5 mile run.
Thursday: 3.1 mile bike ride
Friday: 2.44 mile run
Today: 3.5 mile run


Mileage is still low, but I'm just so happy to be out there building it back up again!  Loved this evening's run of a 3.5 miler.  Thankfully, my legs are starting to feel stronger on the hills.  I think I really need to do more biking like I did when we were training for our 10k, because it really helps build muscle and makes running the hills easier.  I've gotten a day or two behind on the Push-up Challenge, but I'm going to catch up this week!




Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

  1. Too funny that you opened the Fish! I have been wondering if biking would help my running. But biking is SO HARD for me. :)

    Nice week of workouts!

  4. yay for your running!! I am excited for you. I did not realize biking could help you for strength on hills? I really need to take up biking...it seems like a good break from running but still an awesome workout!

    I have totally been eating too many sweets lately...to the point where I have not even been craving dessert...and I ALWAYS crave dessert. haha!

    I cant believe you resisted cookies though...they are my weakness :)

    have a good night!

  5. Perfect way to build up a base! I like biking too for the quad strength. I think you're totally right about being able to do hills better. And I LOVE swedish fish!

  7. I know sometimes I feel like I need to do the no sugar thing too. I will get overloaded and then just feel plain sick.

    PS I think I may be one of the few people who don't like Swedish fish! I know, I am weird!
