Second week of Dopey training and I get injured,😢
4th of July started out with a face plant to the pavement during my July 4th Virtual 5K. Baxter ran in front of me and I went down HARD. Truly earned this really cute medal.
The stars and strips top hat glides back and forth, truly amazing!
Although my knee looked torn up, the joint escape injury. As a runner that is all that matters, I don’t care what else hurt as long as I can run. My shoulder, elbow and wrist took the majority of the impact. My brand new Bose prescription sunglasses went flying off my face, followed by my visor. Poor Gymboss interval timer still works but looks like crap. This unfortunately means I can’t take my sweet Baxter on my training runs for a while because I can’t hold him and the camera with my sore wrist.
To celebrate my 5K victory and numb the pain, I put on my patriot tank and proudly flaunted my race wound with mimosas at a local wine bar.
And yes, people did stare at me like an escapee from an abused women's shelter.
Morning running is an impossibility because Baxter wreaks havoc to my house and barks and whines so loudly if left in the kennel. So, after work in the heat will be my only alternative. I don’t want to run every training run on the Treadmill, well because how exciting is that for my YouTube channel.
Recipe this week is from Disney’s Simple Family Cookbook: Super Fitness Juice.
I wanted to really like this cool refreshing drink, however the grapefruit was super overpowering and made for a bitter taste. It also didn’t make the same amount as pictured in the book, I think I was supposed to use just the juice from the Grapefruit and orange, I peeled them and put them in whole. Made for more of a thick smoothie consistency.
And then there's mine.
Oh Well, Click here to watch Week #2
