Half Marathon Training: Week 7

This was a great week! I had to work a lot which sucked at the time, but will be awesome come pay day. I got all my runs in and felt pretty good about them.

My pace has been much slower than I wish it was, but I've been tired from standing at work all day, so it's whatever. I'm more concerned about the distance than the pace at this point anyway. I'm thinking over the winter I'll try working on my speed.

We did some incredible eating this week. Finally made it to the What the Fork food truck in Scranton and had some AMAZING crab sliders and pork tacos with thinly sliced sweet potato fries. I die. Cheat meal at it's finest. 

I got lots of cuddles after my long run on Sunday morning, which I was actually nervous about. I got it done, but it was a little painful towards the end. I wore my compression socks for the rest of day, to bed, and to work today so I definitely think that helped. I also tried an ice bath right after the run and I'm not sure I'll be attempting that again. So not fun!

Joe and I went to check out a possible rehearsal dinner restaurant with my parents and brothers last night and it was fantastic! I'm so in love with my Ellie running pants that I tried to make a casual outfit out of them to wear to dinner. ;)

I tried some Angry Orchard Apple at the restaurant and forced my dad to stop at the beer store on the way home so I could buy a variety pack. Cinnful Apple is the PERFECT adult beverage for fall. Mmmm.

 

What kind of awesome stuff did you eat this week?
