3 Things Thursday: Winter, Diet & Anna

Reverse the roles: my hubby is the women & I am the guy

1. The forecast again was for snow yesterday and rain today so although I had worked 11 boring hours at the bar exam on Tuesday, I dragged myself to the bike trail (it was nearby) and ran (sorta) 6 miles.  It was late and I was extremely tired but I just had to do it.

It was getting dark when I arrived so I brought a flash light. Then it got really dark (there are no lights) and kinda creepy to be alone on this trail.

So after 3 miles, I got back in the car and finished my run under the street lights of Delmar.  I am so glad that I did it.  On Wednesday, I woke up to snow.

It quickly turned to rain and my run turned into 3 ugly miles on the treadmill after work.

2. In the theme of healthy eating, my work had a Salad Bowl Potluck lunch yesterday. Everyone brought a salad ingredient and you just added what you wanted to make a big salad.  It was fun.

so yummy!

It would have been even more healthy if I didn’t have this snack before lunch.

I was happy until I read that it had 480 calories and didn’t really taste that good.

And I went out to dinner with friends…at a Lebanese restaurant. The food was great, too. (The waiter took a liking to us and gave us free appetizers and free coffee.)

I had Mixed Schawarma (and took 1/2 home)

3.  Anna from Russia is Back in the USA for a short vacation.  She arrived in NYC on Tuesday. She is going to DC and then returning to NYC.  I plan to see her next Wednesday.  Can’t wait!!

Happy Running!  Are you as ready for spring as I am?  Are you a healthy eater?
