I run to breathe

FINALLY got back on that horse and went for a run today. I have one word for how it felt - A-mazing. Yep, it deserves an emphasis it was that good. The crisp somewhat drizzly fall weather added to the run's excellence. I'm a huge fan of rainy fall days for a good run. Plus, I was cruisin' along to some of my favorite cheesy running soundtracks - Justin Bieber. Yep! I've got the Bieber Fever!!!! The cheesier the music, the better for running. You've gotta have some pop music that makes you want to sing along to keep you going on those days when you aren't feeling it, or to get you back on track when you've fallen off the workout wagon. So today, it was Bieber baby!!!!!

Had a great breakfast too - delicious sprouted grain bagel with Almond butter & jam, a bowl of mixed berries, and a cup of black illy coffee. Those Italians really know how to roast some terrific coffee! Post workout I think it will be a watercress, green apple & walnut salad with some goat cheese. Got that idea from the Bristol restaurant I went to last night in Bucktown. It was such a delicious salad - they used hazelnuts & manchego cheese, but I gotta make due with what's in my refrigerator.

Oh yeah, did I mention that I was in the 12th row at Dane Cook last night? Hilarious with a capital H! I'm off to make my salad...I'll take a photo and post it so you all can see my "cooking" skills.

Peace & Peas,
