I used some of the leftover meat sauce to make my own version of a Sloppy Joe.
I had an eye doctor appointment and got hooked up with a fresh pair of contacts. Finally! It’s been wayyyy too long. I also bought a small box full so I can keep changing my contacts every few weeks. Gotta keep my eyes healthy. I decided to wait and think about what type of new glasses to get.
I didn’t wait to get new sneakers. I stopped at City Sports and got a pair of Asics meant for runners with a neutral gate. I’m normally a Nike girl, but hopefully these work out well for the treadmill portion of my Half Marathon training.
I probably should’ve eaten more for lunch. I was starving so I grabbed a low calorie Vitamin Water and a Special K bar to snack on while I drove to the gym. I also rocked out to Lady Gaga!
I met my coworker Molly for the 5:30 spin class. I walked on the treadmill for 10 minutes before class to get my blood flowing. Just like the other 3 spin classes I’ve attended in my lifetime, this was an awesome workout. I was a sweaty, sweaty mess and it felt great. The instructor played Motown music and encouraged us to do more if we wanted to add intensity. Sometimes I felt like I was working my hardest, but a few times, I was able to push through and really go all out. I sat in the sauna for 5 minutes and showered before heading home.
My snack was definitely a distant memory when I got home. I was starving!
Jared and I went to Francesca’s Cafe to get sandwiches. I ordered pork, cheese, pickles, and honey mustard on ciabatta bread.
YUM! So filling and so good. I can’t even think of adjectives right now. I’m too tired from spin. But trust me, this was an excellent sandwich.

Spinning is always such a sweaty workout. It’s important that the music is good to help me stay motivated.
Sadly, I can’t do Thursday at noon because I have to work starting at 1:00 (and my students may appreciate it if I shower…) We’ll find a time soon though I’m sure.

I only wear Asics. I was fitted for a pair a few years ago and switched to New Balance once and went back to Asics within a month. I really think they’re the best running sneaker. Of course, I’m not a pro or anything, that’s just my opinion, but I think you’ll love your new kicks! Good luck with the training and your class sounds like it was awesome. Good for you mixing it up like that!
