Ugh. Rough workout. Let’s just say my run was less than enjoyable this morning– I struggled through the entire thing! Mentally, I just wasn’t prepared to exercise this morning (I think I was still in dreamland), and physically, my legs felt like a million pounds– I pretty much dragged them along for almost 4.5 miles. On the bright side, the 20 minutes of Power Vinyasa Yoga that followed my run were awesome! My hamstrings and hips feel like a million bucks now! 
This morning’s workout reminded me a lot of HW’s Running into Yoga class that I took a few months ago.
Run stats:
- Distance: 4.40 miles
- Time: 40 minutes
- Pace: 9:04 min/mile
- Calories: 432
Breakfast
Bad workout, but good breakfast!! I love this new combo: oats, wheat berries, dates, vanilla soy milk, and shredded coconut.
In the mix:
- 1/4 cup dry oats
- 1/2 cup wheat berries
- 5 dates, chopped
- 1 tsp sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk
- 1/4 cup water
- Shredded coconut
With H20 and morning reading material…
At the office, I made myself a mug of Sumatra with soy milk and agave nectar.
I’m sure going to miss my morning coffee ritual next week! I’ve had the luxury of making a different variety of coffee everyday for the past 3 years. I’m going to miss the office coffee machine… and, of course, my coworkers and cute, little desk. Awww, I’m feeling a bit nostalgic this morning. I am SO excited to start my new position at the College, but at the same time, I know I am going to miss my current job.
To add to the nostalgia, a coworker stopped by my desk this morning to say goodbye (she’s out tomorrow) and give me a card. Inside was the sweetest message. *Sigh* I just need to keep reminding myself that bigger and better things are to come!

Hey Tina,
That’s a great run for feeling not-so-great. I was wondering, when you run on a treadmill (I think this was a treadmill run?), do you run on an incline?
I’ve been trying to include hills in my runs, but they’re tough sometimes and I’d rather just run faster
@Katie: Yep. I always run at an 1.0 incline or higher.
I know this is a late reply! My biggest risk was moving to the UK right after I graduated from college. It was hard to just up and leave but there was a whole world waiting for me and I wanted to see it! Fun question.
The biggest risk I’ve taken lately was making the decision to not finish university, pack up my life and move to New York City to persue my dream of becoming a vegan chef. I start culinary school Wednesday, so I guess I’ll know more then!
I must say, even though examining via dozens and dozens of weblogs weekly, the concept of your weblog is distinguishable (for the appropriate motives). Should you not head me personally inquiring, exactly what is the brand of this style or perhaps would it not certainly be a particularly designed extramarital relationship? It’s far far better in comparison to styles I take advantage of for a few regarding my personal sites ;–)
