<\/a><\/p>\nAfter the run I went to Spin class and had a good time–and thankfully, it was the regular teacher<\/a> that I enjoy! The class was a lot of seated climbs mixed in with a few standing climbs.<\/p>\n Gym Stats:<\/strong> When I got home, Michael was making us dinner. I had a huge salad of green leaf lettuce with olive oil and a balsamic vinegar that was infused with\u00a0pomegranate. It was tasty!<\/p>\n Our dinner was “throw everything together” kind of meal but it worked. He cooked some big pasta noodles and seasoned them with a little olive oil, pepper and herbs (thyme, basil, rosemary), sprinkled a little shredded white cheddar on top and then added cooked scallops and shrimp.<\/p>\n The dinner was good. The low calorie count in the scallops and shrimp balanced out the high calorie count in the pasta. It’s funny–trying to eat “cheap” AND healthy is often difficult because pasta is so cheap yet not the most ideal meal.<\/p>\n I was so happy that the run was a success. I have several running goals for 2012. First, I want to run another 5k. My first race was a 5k and I did horribly. I really want a re-do! Not only that, I would like to be back to consistently running 5 miles at a time so that I can run on vacations and run at lunchtime. Not having the running fitness built up to be able to do those two things right now makes me sad. I miss it. I miss running. I miss having the OPTION to run when other workouts aren’t available to me.<\/p>\n The 5k I’m thinking about doing is the 4th of July race on Sauvie’s Island<\/a>. It’s a flat trail, scenic, with strawberry shortcake at the finish line! Sign me up!<\/p>\n As for biking, my goal is to continue spin class through the rest of the winter and as soon as spring comes I’m going to return to commuting to work by bike at least once a week. I want to do a short riding event–around 40 miles–in the spring and then start training for my first full century. The one I’ve picked is the Covered Bridge Century<\/a>! How scenic would it be to ride a bike through this:<\/p>\n
