Tonight Blair and I went running for the first time since I was 19 weeks pregnant with Lily. The thought of running has felt like a MOUNTAIN. It seemed SO overwhelming, so much more so than any other time in my life. Maybe b/c I have been eating everything in sight (its totally an idol for me) and not having any physical activity excect our occasional walks that have been infrequent lately with all of the snow. But this morning in a more sane moment, I felt motivated. It was SO good... we didn't even run that far but it was so good for me mentally. And I forgot about the fact that running doesn't feel as much like running when you do it with a friend... it feels more like therapy or an anti-depressant. So I am thankful for that "easy" run and that the mountain seems a lot smaller in my mind tonight. My body may pay tomorrow but hopefully, the endorphins that were released can take care of it.
And for dinner, I made some super easy burritos :) so that was nice to come home to. I'd had one at The Tavern that I really liked so tried to replicate it... it was just jasmine rice, black beans and fresh spinach (sauteed with garlic in olive oil), then salsa on top. So yummy!
