what I'm excited about today

I was right about yesterday's workout...it was a toughie!  Mike is always finding new ways to make me hate burpees. Yesterday, it was what he calls the "dead man burpee".  It's name is appropriate because you want to die after doing 50 of them. And he promises Wednesday will be tougher....sigh.

Right now, I'm excited about:

My lunch!  I'm going on my 3rd meal with my ducks I cooked Sunday (yesterday for lunch I had a duck baked potato and dinner last night was duck salad).  Did I mention duck is my favorite source of protein ever?!?  I packed my lunch box with grits, duck & gravy, and smothered onions and mushrooms.  I'm going to cook the grits and mix it all together. Only 2 hours until I get to put that savory, salty, goodness into my belly!

My running buddy!  Andrea, my original running/workout buddy, has decided to run the half marathon with me on November 19. I'm ecstatic to have someone to train with, especially on my long Saturday runs. My official training schedule starts September 6.  I will post my half marathon training schedule soon.
