I had a great run today.
We went to Point Pleasant Park again – but did the loop of the park the opposite way we normally do. I guess this is important because you can hurt your ankles by running in the same curved direction – so it is good to strengthen them up and run the opposite way. Unfortunately, this means that just after half the time of the run, we have to go up the steepest part, instead of running downhill. Ouch! I had to walk an extra minute after that one!
But we did do 30 minutes at 2:1 (run:walk) but there was that extra 1 minute walk . . . so I only ran 19/30 minutes. Still, it was good for me. And tomorrow we do it my favourite way around so there will be no need to walk as the hill in this direction goes much more gradually up hill.
It was an “anything goes” dinner tonight.
Meaning Tim has class from 6:30-9:00 pm, and left at 5:00 pm to study before class – but he needs food both before class (a snack) and after class (a lighter meal). And I want to eat without being on his schedule
Hence our “anything goes” dinner which means we fend for ourselves and don’t have a sit down meal.
I decided on making chili wraps – which is my favourite way to eat leftover chili (I also like Sloppy Joes made with chili). I filled a wrap with cheese, spinach and chili and heated it up. Delicious! And for dessert I had 3 celery stalks dipped in peanut butter.
Today I did a big clean of all my clothing. Went through drawers and the closet. I have so much crap! I filled a bag to donate and I have so much that I don’t wear right now, but need to keep. Like all my office clothing. The suits are currently hanging in the hall closet, but I still have so many collared shirts, vests, etc. that are only appropriate for office wear. I hate having them in my day-to-day closet, but I have no other place to put them! I also have a lot of bulky items – including my robes, my wedding dress, ski suit, gowns, etc. My robes will live at the office when I get a job, but until now they also occupy the hall closet along with everything else.
And the best part of the cleaning was freeing an entire drawer for exercise stuff! I really want to keep this running and being active thing a part of my life so I am trying to include it in all aspects of my life – including my clothing

You know, a look that I’m loving right now, is a tailored vest over a graphic T. Like a ‘grungy on purpose’ fitted T with like….the Beatles on it or something, paired with one of your fitted vests….if you have a ‘shrunken’ vest, that would look killer on your adorable little body…. Pair that with some of your hot jeans and some flats, or a great pair of boots and there you go! I know what you mean about office clothes though. I love dressing up for work, but I hate how boring a lot of my office clothes are….I don’t feel like they have a right to ‘hang’ with my regular clothes….
Good job on running UP the hill instead of down!
You just added something else to my to do list…clean closet! LOL
That’s so awesome that you’re right THERE next to Point Pleasant! What a perfect place to go and run! So many little routes you could take! Awesome!
