I Love My Compression Socks

Today was pretty normal. My snacks did get changed up a bit (because I'm too lazy to go to the store). I had a Clif Bar Crunch for my 11am snack and some apple sauce for my 1pm snack. My lunch was a little different (for the week anyways). I had PB&J on Rudi's bread. The jelly was home made blackberry preserves. Everything was so good. I felt so healthy eating that sandwich. Doesn't it look pretty good (ok, it may have tasted better than it looks).?


I had 1/2 of an energy bar before I left work. Today at the gym, I ran 4 miles. These miles seemed so long and torturous! After the 13 hours of running (only 44 minutes, really, it just seemed like 13 hours), I went to my spin class. My legs were done for the day after the run and the class. The second I got home and out of the shower, I slipped on my lovely compression socks. I love these things. They make my legs feel brand new by morning. I'm still wearing them. I feel great in them.

Like I said before, I need to go to the grocery store. So, I ended up throwing some things together and called it dinner. I made some brown rice, cut up some cooked turkey sweet sausage and diced some home grown tomatoes. I mixed everything together and I ate. The taste was ok. I'll eat it again tomorrow night, so it wasn't that bad.

In last nights post, I talked about the apple sauce I was making. It did finish abut 12:30 am. It was so good. It may not look that appetizing, but it sure does taste good!! I do love apple sauce, so if you don't, I wouldn't try it. The recipe is also in last nights post.

I wonder what I will snack on tonight?? Don't forget about the poll on the upper right side of my blog. Also, remember, if you're not a fan of Runner's Fuel on facebook, become one. As soon as I have 50 "fans", I will have a pretty cool giveaway (as promised). Only a few more people are needed. I will also have another giveaway on my 100th post!! Keep on reading!!

What is your favorite dinner to make at home?

A Hard Tuesday

Another boring day (until I left work). Same things happened at work (good things), and I ate the same things throughout the day. I had the other half of my Lara Bar and headed out of work to the gym.

I got to the gym and had a lot I wanted to do. I'm not going to workout on Saturday, so I want to do extra now things this week (so I don't feel guilty for taking a day off). I got everything I wanted to do, and in only 1:47. Pretty awesome. Today, I spent 20 minutes on the elliptical, 2.5 mile run, 30 minutes, 15 minutes rowing and then I added a new set to my Tuesday night routine...weights. I spent the rest of the time working them. I worked them hard. I always forget that my arms feel like spaghetti afterwards. Even the remote control (to the tv) felt heavy afterwards.

I had a lot to do when I got home, too. I really wanted to make some crock pot apple sauce. I peeled, cored and chopped a dozen of apples and added the rest to the crock pot. I only have a mid way picture. The sauce should be ready about 1:30 tomorrow morning. I'll add the final product to my blog tomorrow. I've made this before, and it's so yummy. I'm a big fan of apples, apple sauce, apple butter, apple donuts, really anything apples. I can't wait until our Apple Hill opens up. It's such a fun place to go and you can get all these things (and more) there for a great price!

I need to go empty out the dish washer and get a couple more things done before it's time to head off to bed. Don't forget to answer my poll that I have to the upper right of the blog. I can't wait to see the answers!!

Good night everyone!!
