Yesterday after work I made my way over to the gym with Bry for a short run. On the schedule for yesterday was 3 miles, and surprisingly I didn’t back out of this one. I categorized the run as “great” on DailyMile!
*Note: I did not do this run 2 minutes ago. It was done last night. Not sure why that time is wrong…
Let me break down this run for you.
Mile 1: The first mile went as expected. My legs were a bit tired when I started, since I sat at work all day long, but after the first mile they seemed to be getting used to the run. I didn’t look at the time too much during this mile, because I wasn’t bored yet.
Mile 2: Holy crap this mile felt like forever. I actually stepped up the pace a little bit on the second mile, but it felt so long! Nothing too good was on TV. I was watching a crime show that was freaking me out. I couldn’t change the channel on the treadmill TV because the remote was broken. Better than nothing, I guess.
Mile 3: This mile was the best of the three. I sprinted for the second half of the mile and it went by quickly! I started getting hungry towards the end, which gave me the extra push to finish fast and get home for dinner.
Today’s run is going to be 4 miles. If the weather is okay, I want to get outside for this run!
Falafel Goat Cheese Salad
Oh dinner. Dinner was a bit random last night. I made a delicious salad that I’ve had in the past. It’s a random salad I make sometimes when I need to use up random items in my kitchen.
[Ingredients]
lettuce – I used crunchy romaine
goat cheese
falafel
seasoned croutons
red wine vinaigrette
[Instructions]
-
Heat falafel in microwave for 45 seconds.
-
Cut falafel in quarters.
-
Mix all items together.
-
Serve and enjoy!
It’s super easy. Sometime I wonder why I even share these recipes, because it’s basically just throw random items together and eat!
This all would be amazing if I didn’t take forever to eat. Bry’s dinner wasn’t ready when mine was so I waited for him to eat. I also took some time to take pictures of my dinner, like a typical blogger. By this time the falafel was cold and I wasn’t in the mood for the salad anymore. Luckily it didn’t go to waste. Bry decided to eat some of it alongside his BBQ chicken sandwich on an everything bagel.
What did I actually eat for dinner last night? I didn’t photograph it, but I had a mix of Special K cereal and Honeycombs. Yes, I am one of those weird people who like to mix their cereals. Don’t hate me!

I had Subway for dinner last night! I had planned to make something in the crockpot but totally forgot to prep it before leaving for work!
I love Subway! my favorite is the veggie delight 🙂 of course haha
Salad looks yummy.
I’m not surprised that the first few miles didn’t feel that good. It usually takes me 2-4 miles to get warmed up and start to feel “comfortable.” I usually take y first mile slow, then get faster from there (which looks like you did). Keep it up and the good miles come with the not-so-good, but they all count.
The first mile is always the worst! I can’t wait until the time doesn’t just DRAG on!
I have never tried falafel, I always hear about it and people seem to love it so much, I should really hop on board and everything is good with goat cheese!! Great job on your run 🙂
omg goat cheese is my favorite cheese! besides cream cheese of course and pepper jack 🙂 and you MUST try falafel! I forget which brand I bought, but its from the grocery store and in a green container
I’ve only done 3 or 4 outside runs (okay, jogs.. I’m not much of a runner) but I like them better than inside. I feel that inside on treadmill is boring for me too. It’s harder to push myself. Especially when there is nothing on TV 😉 haha
The one thing I do like the treadmill for is HIIT. Although I’ve only done that once. But that once was good. I’ve gotta do it again soon.
Oh yeah and I LOVE goat cheese. Obsessed.
Yeah I hope that I don’t start falling in love with running inside :/ I can’t wait to get back outside soon. It’s so dark though before work and after work if I’m going to run, I need to force myself to work on speed on the treadmill.
That looks delicious!!! I’ve tried falafels once, but was not a huge fan :/ But the lettuce looks really yummy!
I’ve had good and bad falafel. It’s a hit or miss for me, but the brand I buy at the grocery store is my fav. it’s in a green container 🙂
I definitly prefer to run outside … seeing as the TV at my gym is always set to poker, log chopping competitions, or car racing. Ugh.
Last night I had rice pasta with beets, sweet potato, and cauliflower, topped with soy cheese with a side of crispy kale, egg whites and AB, and a two ingredient pancake.
Chelsie, If i dont start running outside soon, I’m going to cry ahha. i meant to go today, but I’ve been super exhausted!!
