With the birthday festivities last night, I didn’t really have time (or the desire) to pack a proper lunch today. Since I have Happy Hour plans tonight with some friends, I also didn’t want to buy lunch. I did the next best thing: grabbed a can of soup from the pantry! Exciting, I know. 🙂
I’m actually really looking forward to this soup! It sounds delicious, and I love the “chunky” soups. They are fairly low in calories and pretty tasty.
I wish I had a gooey, grilled cheese sandwich to go along with the soup but crackers are going to have to suffice!
I went for a run at lunch today. I REALLY wasn’t looking forward to it. My feet were dragging at the idea of it. All morning I felt stiff and sore and I wasn’t even sure if my legs could handle a run so soon after my last run.
Once I got out there, I was so glad I did it! The sun was out, my legs actually felt ten times better and I suddenly felt like I had the stamina to run forever!
Today I ran on the other side of the Hawthorne Bridge instead of the path I normally do. It was a nice change of scenery.
I don’t think it added any distance to my run but it was so pretty out!
I was sooo glad I ran! It felt fantastic and the sky was blue. I actually took of my jacket too!
One alarming thing happened….A guy running in short blue shorts flashed his bits. I was so surprised. I spent the next few minutes thinking “Was that on purpose? Or does he just need SPANDEX?” So strange! When I told the girls at the office who also run/walk the waterfront they KNEW who I was talking about!!! YIKES. Which brings me to the poster that’s on the wall by the Women’s locker room at work:
Nike+ Stats:

I got back to work in time to shower and have my soup.
QUESTION: What kind of underwear do wear when running? I need suggestions!

Do you eat the whole can? When I’ve tried eating “healthy” soups I find that the 1 serving isn’t enough. I was just wondering, maybe it is just me still trying to shrink my stomach and hunger.

@Ivie, no I had 1/2 of the can. I put the rest away for tomorrow’s lunch. I was surprisingly full after only half too!

Ah soup – such a great (and tasty) lunch!! With winter approaching – I suspect soup will make a regular appearance in our house!

Sometimes you just gotta eat canned soup! Looks like you had fabulous outdoor exercising weather! I have a Nike+ too but Im embarassed to say Ive never used it!

@Kate – you HAVE to try the Nike+! I love it! I had a few other fitness APPs on my phone and they were all crap. I like that Nike+ keeps the history, shows my pace, and I can sync it with the website.
