I have to hand it to my brother- he is really keeping me going in this trek. We ran around TU today- it is a really gorgeous campus! We did 2.5 miles today and we are getting faster/running more. So .7 more miles and I will be at the 5K mark! That is really exciting! I am really amazed at how much I have been able to do. Right now the body can totally handle it- it's the mind that is weak! I would love some tips on how to strengthen the mind to get in the right mode :)
On a different note- I cooked Bok Choy for the first time tonight. Made a lovely garlic chicken stir fry that was very tasty! I joined a produce co-op this summer and I get lots of lovely veggies each week- lots of which I would never buy on my own.
Off to enjoy a relaxing shower.....
I think we did so well because there was no smell. It was nice not going through that rough patch on riverside. Monday's run was tough...especially without the iPod. We are getting better, and I'm surprised how each run our stamina increases. You're doing great and thanks for doing this convincing me I should do something about my health now too.
ReplyDeleteJust remember, you're doing this for Ben, that might help the mental stuff.
U guys are awesome!! My dad used to have us close our eyes to some great music and picture ourselves kicking some athletic butt. If you tell yourself over and over that you can, you will. You keep doing that by keeping up this blog. Once you get there, I want to take a great photo of both of you holding up old jeans and dropping them in front of you. :-)
ReplyDeleteI was amazed yesterday, you guys are rockin' it. And you are inspiring others well at least me. I'm so sore today but I know I have to keep working on it! What is Bok Choy and how do you prepare it? That might be a stupid question.
ReplyDeleteBok Choy is a member of the cabbage family- people usually use it chopped up in stir fry. One of those great veggies that takes on the taste of whatever you are cooking :) you would love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd Kat- I will be happy to pose for that pic!
Drew- you rock
