On fire!

Wow I had such a fantastic run yesterday. I felt so strong on the hills, like I was just flying. I ended up running over 14 miles. Not sure where that came from.

I then couldn’t sleep. I have insomnia on a regular basis, but notice it is even worse on long run days. Wonder why that is.

Today I did an easy run and a short stint on the stepmill. That thing can make me sweat like nothing else does. I also made the best snack which I was thinking about on the drive home from the gym. I combined 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/2 water, 1/4 cup almond milk, cinnamon, 1/2 a banana and equal (I would pretend like I am trying to cut it out, but that would be lying). I cooked this mixture on the stovetop then put it in the blender. Why have I never tried this? It was like banana oatmeal pudding, er, actually I guess I sort of made baby food. But whatever, it was delicious and I could eat it all day and night. That is my problem though. I get hooked on certain things and simply want to eat them all the time.

I am ready for this semester to be over and for summer to come. I love summer. I love the sun. I love the heat. I am a much happier person when I am wearing flip flops and t-shirts.
