Only 1 more month left of school!! Yipee!
Our last day of school is May 19, and I cannot wait!! 😀
Workout
Distance: 5 miles
Time: 42 minutes
Weather: 30 degrees, cloudy, no precip
It is funny how short 5 miles seems after running 6+ miles most days of the week. Overall, it was a quick, easy run, and I felt good, so no complaints.
I threw in a few accelerations at the end. Basically I gradually picked up the pace, reached a sprint, then decelerated all within about 50-75 meters—short accelerations to get some leg turnover in. I will often do this on my “short” distance days.
Dinner
Tonight’s dinner was thrown together in a flash because I was starving when I got home a little after 5 p.m. Actually, I was hungry all afternoon, and I didn’t have anything left in my lunch to eat, so I had to wait until I got home!
A wrap filled with: roasted red pepper hummus, spinach, sprouts, tomatoes, black beans, and feta.
I enjoyed my wrap with roasted broccoli on the side. Instead of seasoning the broccoli with garlic powder, I used rosemary! I don’t really care for garlic powder on roasted broccoli, but the rosemary was definitely a winner!
Some bubbles on the side. 
We ran out of ice cream last week, and I have had a major craving for ice cream since then, so it was very important to buy some today after work. 😯
I’m off to go on a walk with Craig, and then it will nearly be time to hit the hay!
Question
What is your quick, go-to evening meal?
One more month of school, that is so exciting! 🙂 We have ten days until testing, and then I’ll start my countdown too.
I agree! Now that I ran a half marathon, running 5 miles for me seems increadable easy and takes about 5 seconds. It always goes by so quick.
YAY 1 month of school!
It’s so funny how running long distances warps your perception of what is “short.” That’s one of the things I love about running so much!
My favorite quick meal is frozen ravioli. If I’m really in a pinch, I’ll pop an Amy’s pizza in the oven and have a salad on the side.
I know what you mean, 5 miles doesn’t seem like much when you are normally doing 6+, but in reality it is a GREAT run! 🙂 That wrap looks amazing and so does the ice cream! I have to have ice cream every single night. It’s a problem. Congrats on almost being finished with the school year! Exciting!
I have ice cream pretty much every night as well!
one month of school! yay! i have class this week & next, then finals. i can’t wait to be done (even though i’ll be taking a 6 wk summer class + interning + part time job…less schoolwork will rock!) 🙂
I have like six weeks left of school then I graduate. Wooo.
My go to meal is eggs. So easy to make.
Go-to meal is definitely microwave quinoa and beans, sometimes with spices and cheese. They’re two things I always have on hand, and my dorm room only has a microwave–otherwise I have to haul all of my gear to the kitchen.
That is awesome you only have a month left….hang in there!
Breakfast for dinner (veggie omelet with toast) is my favorite fast dinner.
