run 15/28.

it's interesting that i thought i would get 28 runs in before the race

it's now 3 days before and i'm out by 13

i guess if i had trained harder i would have reached my goal

oh well.

today i hit 5 km!

i was getting a little worried all things considered

3 days to go!

run 14/28.

monday's run after some time off.

i ran after eating - don't do this.

at this point i was getting worried because we were a week away from the run and i was struggling with 3km

*le sigh*

to read.

to read is so important

you just learn so much.

france - it's on our list.

i'm in the midst f some post-graduation-europe-2014-travel-plans

originally, i wanted to wander europe for 3 weeks, but now i'm thinking that just won't be enough time.

so now i'm thinking six weeks.

six weeks of pure bliss, travelling the european countryside and enjoying life.

i've been to france once before but only spent a limited amount of time there. 

i was on a school trip so i definitely didn't get to see everything i wanted 

and i probably didn't enjoy it as much as i should have.

*paris

i'd love to spend the better part of a week exploring all of the local gems in paris

i really do think this city has so much to offer - a week doesn't seem long enough

*champagne

the gorgeous countryside of france filled with stunning vinyards

count me in!

two nights at a b&b, definitely on the list.

*nice

oh nice, you look so nice - haha

i've heard nothing but good things about how beautiful nice is. 

we will definitely be spending a few days here 

anywhere i'm missing in france?

undecided salad.

this has to be one of my favourite recipes.

the greenhouse in edmonton does a similar salad 

and i bought my olive oil and vinegar from evolution.

the base.

spinach

dried cranberries

almonds

grilled chicken

quinoa

blueberries/raspberries

the dressing.

2 parts lime olive oil

1 part coconut white vinegar

*mix and pour over salad*

so simple, so delicious.

enjoy! 

run 13/28.

i've decided to mix it up while running. so i did 2km straight today

it actually felt pretty good and my knee didn't give me as much grief as it normally does.

hopefully wednesday i'll do a long run.

i'm just trying to figure out this whole running schedule.

any tips?

run 12/28.

this is a better time than my last 4km but or some reason i felt dreadful after this run.

this is the first time in a while i've run with other people, and i'm not sure i love it.

it's a good push though to run with others.

on this run i also managed to run my fastest 1km at 5 minutes 10 seconds,

so i guess it really wasn't that bad... it just felt like it.
