So yesterday I opted to follow my Sunday long run with a rest day, since I’ll be running three days in a row this week and I know my legs will appreciate it. Since getting injured, I try to avoid running more than two consecutive days, but sometimes it can’t be avoided. What’s a great activity to partake in on a rest day? Shoe shopping! I went back and forth about these boots, but ultimately decided that I would regret not buying them and I had a $20 off coupon, so they were practically free! You can either wear them like they are shown in the picture, or fold the top over so they hit below the knee. Pretty excited to wear them, too bad it’s going be back in the 90s this week, sigh. I really went searching for some new black heels to wear to work every day, does anyone else have to replace theirs every year? I really destroy mine I guess, but I didn’t find any that had a work appropriate heel height that I liked. Guess that means I have to go back. 🙂
After shopping, I came home and got right to pulling dinner together. I chopped up half a sweet potato into wedge slices, threw them in a plastic bag, seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg, coated with olive oil, shook up the bag and spread them out on a baking sheet. 20 minutes later I had some delicious sweet potato wedges ready for eatin, and I partnered them with some leftover tortellini pasta salad from last week.
I really can’t believe that I didn’t eat sweet potatoes like this until this year, not only does it taste amazing, but it is seriously one of the best smelling foods to ever come out of my kitchen. After dinner I watched the season premier of How I Met Your Mother, delightful as always, and then some of Dancing With the Stars. I’ll catch the half hour that I missed later this week. Rick Fox really surprised me, he did so good and I was really surprised by it. So happy DWTS is back!
Check out this adorable photo I forgot I took over the weekend:
Can you see Pumpkin’s little face poking over the counter top? Haha, Alex went to sit down to eat his leftovers Sunday afternoon and was immediately joined by the little baby. She sat there next to him the whole time he was eating, just waiting for maybe a little piece of rib. She’s too funny, for some reason she thinks she’s a dog and will beg for food, wait at the front door for you to come home, and always wants to sit on your lap. Anyways she’s the best, and Alex and I both love her, which is amazing for him since he’s super allergic to her. Also, in somewhat related news, I hate long distance relationships. That is all.
Alright, happy Tuesday everyone. Glee is back tonight and I am BEYOND excited, I love that show and I need some new Glee tunes to add to my running playlist. Can’t wait! Five miles on the training plan for tonight. Unfortunately they will have to get done after I drop my car off at the dealership to get its sunroof fixed and annual maintenance done. Have a great one!
Also, if you didn’t get a chance to vote for me yesterday for Project Food Blog you still can today! Thanks to everyone who does, I really appreciate it!
