This morning I headed out bright and early (i.e., 5:30 am) in order to get in my run before my CFA classes (i.e., Economics, Corporate Finance, and Equity). Heading down Sunset Avenue, I hit the riverfront bike path and took it to the Ceaser's Casino (seems like the main tourist haven in town) where the bike path ends. I then ran along the road that follows the river past a few breweries and a couple of parks where I reached the six-mile mark at Saint Louis Street just past the Goventry Gardens. I then turned around and head back for a total distance of 12.25 miles at an easy pace. My right leg felt stiff and sore at times and it felt like I was pounding it a little bit. However, it's slowly getting stronger!

My non-running workout just consisted of 300 sit-ups.

Five-Minute Plank Challenge: 2:00

Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Challenge: a serving of vegetables

Darn plank!!! And 300 sit ups??? You are incredible. But, most impressive would be the vegetables! I had....none today! Just a lot of cheese and meat and sugar. ;o)

Cheese, meat and sugar...I think there should be a song about those three food staples :)

AGREED!

Kelli, cheese, meat and sugar... Love the thought of pizza and ice cream; just maybe, I'll have to treat myself after this busy study week.

Happy running Kelli and Preston!
