Do you listen to your body every time it tells you something?

Sleepy with some Side Stitches
Ever since about 1 pm yesterday, I had side stitches. I was sitting down for most of the day, so it was really odd. I pushed through it (yep, still had them until way after 5, when I left for the gym) and got in 4 miles. I was determined to run the 4 miles, because my head was filled with way too many thoughts I was about to go crazy!! But, that was all I could handle. I wasn't concentrating or enjoying the run. So, that's when I was finished with my workout.

After dinner, I got all my workout gear ready for my early morning gym time. I ended up turning off the alarm and going back to sleep. I just woke up (which is too late to go to the gym). I guess my body needed to extra rest today.

Catch Up
Here are all my photos from yesterday, that Blogger wouldn't let me post. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one is having problems lately.
Every week, I make a smoothie and drink about 8 oz. after my workout. This weeks smoothie was really good. In the mix was PB, frozen banana, frozen peaches, chocolate protein powder, V8 juice and honey greek yogurt. Great combination! It really helps cool me off aft a tough am workout.
I've really been concentrating on not missing any workouts because the race is so close. I've been feeling a little buff lately and I think I really am gaining a little muscle. I'm so proud of myself!
Yesterday, I made an artichoke. Jason and I split it, but really, we each wanted our own. So good!!
We ran out of homemade granola, so I needed to make some of these bad boys. They are great in yogurt!
Black bean burgers were out of this world! They were even better the second day. I hope they're even better on the 3rd (today).
They were so good, that Jason even liked them. They can never replace meat (I do love my meat), but they are very good! I was happy to stuff my face with them. Yes, I do use a pillow as a table. Doesn't everyone?
My next half is coming up in a bout 2 weeks. The race starts at 7pm (yep, a night time race). Does anyone have any suggestions of how to fuel for a night time race? I'm expecting it to be hot, so I know to drink my water but what about food? Should I eat what I normally eat for an am race? I'm afraid that I'll either eat too much or not enough. I like being Goldy Locks and have the right amount of food in my body.

What??!!
So, Blogger isn't letting me upload pictures. I understand if you never want to come back. I prefer blogs with pictures (I guess I'm simple minded). I'll upload them tomorrow.
Anyways, I made Black bean Burgers for dinner last night and I loved them!! I didn't think I was going to like them that much, but I could have eaten then entire batch. Here's the recipe:
1 can black beans (reserve some liquid), 1 onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1T taco seasoning, 1 egg, 1/2 C bread crumbs, 1/2 C corn, 2 T oil (for cooking).
Combine everything except corn and beans. Mix well. Add beans and corn. Mash until still chunky. If it's too dry, add some of reserved liquid. Let mixture set in fridge for few minutes. Shape into patties and let set in fridge for 15 minutes. Heat large pan over med. high heat and cook patties for about 5 minutes on each side. The burgers will be brown on the outsides.
I added cheese and a little ketchup on the buns. These were prefect!! I can't wait for leftovers tonight!
This morning, I headed to the gym for the last time during this week. I'm taking a couple days off because I have 13 miles on the schedule for Saturday am and I want some fresh legs. Because of the days off, I ran sprints for 4 miles (instead of the normal 3.5). It felt good, but I'm tired. I can't wait to "sleep in" tomorrow.
After the sprints, I headed to the weight section and lifted with my arms and legs and also completed a 20 minute cor workout. All in all, today was a prefect workout. I got nice and sweaty and am tired afterwards. I know I didn't leave any energy to be taken left behind.
Is anyone else having trouble with Blogger today?
