Day 2 of 1/2 Training...I'm bored...

I started my HM training this week.  I thought going with a new training program would spice things up again, but I'm boooooored.  The training plan calls for 4 runs during the week, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Friday easy and Thursday speed work.  I'm already sick of running 4 "easy" miles.  Blah.  Maybe it was just the fact that my bed felt oh so good this morning that has me "hatin' on" the easy runs.  I was thinking I might spice up an easy Tuesday with some hill work--maybe just once or twice a month to give me something different to look forward to.  Maybe I just hate the 4 mile distance, I dunno.  Rant over.  :)

Obviously, this morning I did an easy 4 miles, and my splits are eerily similar to yesterday's.  I a consistent creature, what can I say?  I did 4 in 36:05. for a pace of 9:01.
1.  9:36
2.  9:18
3.  9:13
4.  8:56

No crazy creature sightings, but I did run the opposite way, so that's to be expected.

Last night I had some delicious sushi.  I really wanted to take a photo of my raw kaisen salad (lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, kaisen dressing, and tuna, salmon, and two other kinds of sashimi).  IT WAS AMAZING.  How do the food bloggers not feel like complete weirdos taking pics of their food at restaurants?  I really wanted to but thought I would get some strange looks.  :)  Needless to say, the salad and my shrimp tempura rolls were amazing, and I left feeling full, but not painfully full, like I usually do when I go out to eat.  That's the thing I love the most about sushi, you never get that uncomfortably full feeling.  

Speaking of food, I'm going to go eat a leftover fajita for breakfast.  Probably the best perk about morning running, is I have an excuse to eat un-breakfast-like foods for breakfast.  A girl has gotta refuel!
