Vegetarian Day 2: Not a success.

Like I mentioned yesterday, I don't really know if this is a good time to change my diet- 3 days before my big race. I will try again after Sunday, but last night I went out to dinner with my friends parents to Tony Roma's and was pretty hungry by the time we got there at 8 PM. I ended up getting a "caprese" pasta dish with chicken. It looked really interesting to me, and I wanted to stay away from the burgers! I barely touched the chicken by the time I finished the pasta though, but I brought the grilled chicken home and figured I could have chicken for lunch instead of a protein smoothie.

I woke up today with the sun SHINING! I have set my alarm for 8 AM every morning since I have been here. At home, there is no way I would be waking up early if I didn't have to- but it's different when the sun is shining! Why sleep when I can play in the sun! And that is exactly what I did.

I ran 2.52 miles at 22 minutes 05 seconds. My pace was 8:45. 

The pace was exactly what I want my race pace to be. The race is 13.1 miles and this was only 2.52! I am definitely going to take tomorrow as a "rest" day. I have a lot of activities to do tomorrow!

For lunch I made the leftover chicken in a wrap with spinach and cheese. I also cut a small tomato and added a little salt, pepper, basil and balsamic. I LOVE tomatoes! They are by far one of my favorite foods in the WORLD!

I am going to dinner with my friend tonight for his Birthday. I made him a Birthday brownie cake, and decorated it with pink!

I went to the pool after cleaning up today. I just got home and had a few of the most amazing almonds I have ever eaten- Blue Diamond Wasabi & Soy Sauce. I have always heard what a great snack almonds are, but have never been a HUGE fan. I think this flavor may have changed my mind! Hopefully it is still as beneficial as the plain almond.

Tomorrow is the Princess Expo! Not only that, there is a event at the Lululemon outlet for the runners! I am going to go to the Expo and lululemon. Here are some of the details on the invite on facebook- and look a crown on the logo!
