Running Stuff! (Literally)

Okay, so I’m officially on this “running bandwagon” and I don’t foresee getting off any time soon! Yesterday an experienced runner friend (thanks, HM!) went to the store to help me get real running shoes, fit for my specific feet and gait. It was fun to have my feet analyzed, and a little embarrassing ‘cause I had to run on a treadmill while people watched. Oh well. I got shoes!

Here they are!

They felt GREAT on today’s run…and they’re totally cute, too!

Today’s run felt great! Hopefully that means I’m getting better. Right? I went back to Week 3 of Couch to 5k and I think I’ll stay there for a few days before trying Week 4 again.

I also ordered a band for my iPhone so I wouldn’t have to carry it like I have been doing. The UPS lady delivered it as I was finishing my run this afternoon.

I’m looking forward to seeing how well this works on tomorrow’s run!

Caveat: I went to lunch on Monday with a sweet friend (that’s you, HP!) and we ate Japanese! YUM YUM!

  

Gyoza and a volcano roll for me!

On another note, I started a new class this week called The Ministry of Teaching. I’m excited about using what I learn from this class in a teaching position of some sort in the near future! (sorry so vague, I don’t know what God’s plans are!)

So, I leave you with a verse that is the basis of this class:

“Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine.” ~2 Timothy 4:2-3

One week of C2 5k down…

…just 8 weeks to go! HAHA. Actually, if I start training with TNT, I probably will stop C25k and just train however they tell me to! But for now…

This is after my run yesterday. I felt really good most of the run. Of course, I walked a lot of it! Having my iPhone with some tunes playing helps get me through!

And here’s my reward! YUM…chicken salad sandwich from Lenny’s. AND, I had another one today for lunch after Hampton and I went to the gym.

Hope everyone is having a great Saturday! Tomorrow is a day of rest…looking forward to it!

Favorites…

Hi! Blogger is actually down while I’m writing this, but thanks to a suggestion from a fellow blogger (find her blogging tips here), I’m using Windows Live Writer. And I’ll post this when Blogger is back up – hopefully sometime tonight! [It was down all night! Finally get to post this, next day.]

I thought I would share some of my favorite things with all of my readers. First, one of my favorite casual places to eat is…



Yum Yum! I usually get a #14, which is a Turkey Sub on a wheat Kaiser roll and it comes with a drink and cookie/chips. I’ve been trying to cut out the “extras” lately, so I’ve switched to a #4, which is just the turkey sandwich on a wheat sub. Sometimes, I’ll switch it up and get chicken salad. I’m fairly predictable.

Another favorite place to eat here is…



YUM! I actually didn’t even eat sushi or any Japanese food until just a couple of years ago. I tried a crunchy roll from here and I was hooked! The sushi is great and hibachi is fun, too!



(Both of these pictures are from the Wasabi restaurant website.)
So, I’m just starting to take pictures as a blogger and I often feel like a tourist. Any other bloggers get this feeling?

What is your favorite place to eat?
