Workout

This morning I did a 5-mile run in the hot, windy weather. When I wasn’t dying of heat, I was barely moving because of the wind. (I’m quite the wimp when it comes to extreme running temperatures—if you call 70 degrees extreme.) I like my overcast or rainy 50-degree weather.

At a certain point in my run, I felt like I was being shot at—with grasshoppers reminiscent of bullets. Me scaring them into flight with my foot striking + the wind being strong = my neck being red from the hitting me. Not. Cool. I’m just glad I didn’t get hit in the face.

In other news…

I made food tonight, and it was actually good! I was super pumped because my cooking experimentation has been questionable lately. This will definitely be a keeper!
