I love sharing gluten free dinner ideas for a simple weekly meal plan since cooking at home doesn’t have to be complicated. 🙂 But it does have to be delicious.

This morning started off dark & early with a progression run. My Strava training plan prescribed a progression run of 1 hr 30 min – 1 hr 45 min of running with the last 20 minutes at goal half marathon pace or slightly faster. Since I haven’t run a half marathon in over 2 years, I’m not exactly sure what that pace is so I was aiming to hit anywhere between 7-7:15. I told myself I would consider it a huge success if I could do that, but that I’d be okay with 7:30 paces too.

The first 40 minutes did not feel great and was considering throwing the workout in the bag and just running easy the whole time. But, I told myself that I would at least try the 20 minutes at tempo, and if my legs said no, then I would just finish easy. I was really happy that I was able to stay between 7:05-7:10 for 20 minutes! I did the last 15 minutes at an easy pace since my run finished going up a nasty hill (Glade Street, for you local folks) – I should have planned that better.

My IT band acted up suddenly and ferociously on the final hill though…I think it’s all stemming from my right glute since I’ve been having aches and pains around there for a while. So, to the foam roller and lacrosse ball for me. (Please notice Maizey’s tail is blurred because she was wagging it so hard. I love her. 🙂 )

It was 45* degrees this morning, but I definitely didn’t need to dress this warmly. Oops. (I had a tank under the long sleeve shirt too.) Luckily nothing was too heavy, and I was never too warm. I was excited to break out my favorite Nike running pants…that I’ve had for over 10 years. (Holy moly, I just realized how long I’ve had them.) But, they are still in great shape and they don’t stink, which is pretty much a miracle for workout clothes. Plus, they’re not too tight and have ankle zips, which I love since tight leggings are a nightmare to get off post-run.

    1. I love those Epsom salts! I don’t know that I’ve noticed a difference in my muscles using them as opposed to other Epsom salts but they sure smell nice.
