Eeeek! It's almost here!

The race is almost here! I'm completely pumped! So pumped that I haven't been sleeping well at night.  I'm getting enough sleep, but I keep having dreams about the race.  Some good and some not so good.  

I'm afraid I won't finish.  I'm afraid I'll cramp up.  I'm afraid I'll get hurt.  I know all of these are pretty unrealistic, considering that I've been training.  I can do it! I know I can! 

In preparation for the race, I've been trying extremely hard to eat well, eat fresh, and avoid junk food.  That's the hardest part, the avoiding junk food, or easy to prep food.  It's way easier to go to the gro gro (as I so fondly refer to the grocery store) and grab a frozen burrito, than make it myself.  So! I've been trying extra hard.  Nutrition is so important.   I need my body to have the right things!

Therefore I've been eating oh so yummy things that are easy to prep and easy to drag to school and work with me in my lunchbag.  Here are some of the things I've been eating: 

I went out to see a friend last night and ordered a shrimp remoulade salad.  Pretty awesome.  It wasn't even slathered in dressing!  

The ever delicious and no preparation required strawberries and carrots. 

My new favorite milk substitute.  Makes rice krispies and protein slurries delicious! 

Wrap: om nom nom.  Mustard, cheese, sprouts, cucumber, tomato,  bell pepper, lettuce.

All of these things have been making the week easier.  I went for a 3 mile run yesterday and finished in 28 minutes.  If I can maintain a 9:30 minute mile on Saturday, I'll be totally jazzed.  I'm really looking forward to it.  

Anyway.  Hope you're able to get out and move your body! Even if it's just dancing while doing the dishes or something.  And I hope you're able to enjoy some delicious food.  Just throw all the delicious things together! Bam! Awesome!

 Sending you warm, happy thoughts!
