So I woke up this morning, pleasantly surprised by the freshness of my legs; after my race yesterday, I had expected to be one sore sister today. With a spring in my step, I set about running my customary six miles this morning and continued on with my day. Then, around 3 PM, just as I was heading to class, reality hit. My walk to class was pretty painful—my quadriceps were berating me for deciding to wear my boots today. Ouch. Sorely mistaken, indeed.

Have you ever had a similar experience with delayed muscle soreness? I’m thinking tomorrow morning will include ellipticizing rather than running…

Picking up where I left off earlier today…

I whipped up a batch of Banana Blender Cereal today, this time with several changes. Rather than use my beloved GoLean, I used bran flakes (or more precisely raisin bran post- raisin snatching); I used almond milk rather than soymilk; and I added a scoop of chia seeds for thickening. While this concoction was tasty enough, it didn’t come close to my typical combination in terms of texture—I am all about the pudding-ness.

Before heading to class, I made a batch of my mock tuna recipe—I didn’t have any chickpeas around, so I substituted mashed tofu. FYI, apple + PB and zuke + salsa are the best side dishes EVER.

I faced the cold rain for my weekly dining committee meeting. Upon my return, I just wanted food, fast. Plop some cottage cheese on some greens, and call it dinner.

Now I am off to kick up my heels and give my legs a rest. Ta-ta for now.
