Do you ever feel like you’ve had such a random day? Not bad, just scattered. I feel like I sort of meandered through my routine, but it didn’t feel “routine.” I’m not sure if that makes any sense…that’s just the kind of day it was!
I woke up to hunger. I slept later than usual my body needed some oats STAT.
Behold the blue oats! It was an antioxidant rich breakfast, full of blueberry-banana goodness. I only had a small piece of banana to use, so the blueberries upped the fruit quotient. It tasted great, looked fun and did a great job keeping my satisfied through a morning of paperwork and meetings.
How do you feel about paperwork and meetings? I don’t think I like either. I much prefer school days filled with kids and animal crackers. Kids say funny things and animal crackers are a cute snack. Meetings and papers make my eyes cross and my head hurt. It’s all too serious for me.
Luckily, I got to break for a mid-day snack. I don’t really eat the kids’ animals crackers! Well, not today anyway…
Today I relied on my friends from Kashi. I try to bring “real food” to snack on as much as possible. Nuts, fruit, and veggies usually make the cut, but these bars work well for busy days. They are much less obtrusive than crunchy carrot sticks when working with others. Besides, this is my favorite flavor – Chewy Cherry Dark Chocolate – yum!
The rest of the day seems to be off the record. I didn’t take photos because I had lots to do and no time to spare! You know how it goes. Some days are like that. I did manage to squeeze in a good sweat with my gym buddy – one last run before Reach The Beach.
Total Distance: 3.0
Total Time: 26:15
I added some core work and push-ups for good measure, then called it quits. I’m really trying to save my running legs for those crazy midnight miles – the same miles I’ve been rushing around for! I spent the rest of the evening making my packing list and organizing some relay essentials.
Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash = wishful thinking! I think the mouthwash, Advil, and Tiger Balm provide a more accurate glimpse into the reality of the relay. I will soon find out!
It’s time to tie up some loose ends for work tomorrow and hit the hay.
What’s the best part of your job? My answer – KIDS! I really love them. I don’t have my own, so my students are my pride and joy. They make me smile everyday.
