New Week

I want to start off by saying how AMAZING the orchard chicken salad sub is at Subway!  That was my dinner after my run today.  I got the $5 footlong and always intend to save the other half but never do, whoops.

My ankle has been bothering me a little.  I tried KT tape only to realize my skin doesn't like it and the red dots have finally gone away.  I wore an ankle brace all day at work and when I ran.  I will see how the ankle feels tomorrow.

The weather here in Maryland is weird at the moment.  I couldn't decide whether to run outside or go to the gym because of the chance of rain and the wind wasn't too pleasent at work.  Well, when I finally decided to go for my run I decided to use the treadmill at the gym but it was so glorious and nice outside so I ended up running outside.  I did the same 3 mile run I've been doing (tomorrow I will mix it up).  It was nice, a little windy but overall perfect.  It rained a little but it was a nice rain.  With the brace on, my ankle didn't bother me and its not bothering me now, yay!

I got my second pair of running shoes today.  I am a bit bummed, they look ugly on me.  My roommate informed me that I need to wear black socks with black shoes but the socks I like (see previous post) don't come in black.  O well, I'll save these shoes for runs outside alone.  When I go to the gym or run with a friend then I will wear the pretty pink ones. 

I'm signed up for the Rockville Twilighter in July!!!  Its an awesome race run at night through Rockville, MD.  I ran it in 2009 but couldn't last year because I was sick.  It's an 8k.






Here's me before the race in 2009



Here is me after the race in 2009

Tomorrow and Thursday I'll be running 3 miles.  Rest on Friday.  7 miles on Saturday.
