So I didn't even bother putting on actual workout clothes today. I might do a walk this afternoon, but keeping the intensity low to allow for recovery after yesterday's hard run.

But I still got my workout in. For the folks that workout outside of your house, what do you keep in your gym bag?

One of my goals for this year is to lower my LDL cholesterol and one of the small habits that supports that is oats most mornings, so I'm having banana baked oatmeal with cherries and leftover jalapeno bratwurst. I also picked up the single serve microwave packets (unflavored) for this week in case I want to switch things up. I still need to make my egg white bites before I head to Raleigh this afternoon, but I'm feeling prepared and ready to tackle the second half of January!

I took this morning slower since there was no team practice today. Hopped on the treadmill a little later and gassed myself out at the end to "Wait For It" from the Hamilton soundtrack! Still hit my mileage goal though and I'm feeling good heading into this week.

I thought I posted here earlier today but it never posted! I took my rest day today and I tried to sleep in but my body and Wesley (sick) had other plans. He’s been coughing for a few days, and now has a fever. So as badly as I need a good night of sleep tonight I don’t foresee it happening with a sick kiddo with a cough and fever. Not here to complain because that’s not helpful, but to just say that when it comes down to it, there are so many times when we need a break but for some reason life won’t give us the rest. Eventually I will get it again, but wow… I am TIRED!
