Today’s Workout: Another late night workout. I was in the mood for the treadmill but not just running. I came upon this workout from Jillian at Sprinkle Massacre just before I went downstairs and decided to use it as my starting point. Basically I did the first half and then decided I didn’t like the slower speed/higher incline combo so I reversed the workout and went back down the pyramid and then added a few min at the end.
Mine looked like this:
I finished 3 miles in 32:50.
To be honest, this was easy for me. It works out to about an 11 min/mile pace, which explains why…but my legs were feeling good. I felt like I could have run forever at this pace. If I wanted to challenge myself I would need to up the speeds, but this was a great workout for tonight. Exactly what I needed- just to get moving, sweat some but not totally kill myself. WIN!
I baked my hubby breakfast treats to enjoy while I’m out of town and I pin a lot of bloggers great ideas to spread their love even further!!!
Would love some granola! I’ve actually never tried theirs!

I spread the loved today by searching for job postings for my sister online today…
My really good friend headed out on a cross-country road trip (by himself!) because he has to relocate for a job. I knew he’d get lonely so I sent him a really long email for him to read when he stops for food or gas. The note tells him why I think he’s such a great friend and why I’ll miss him!
I spread the love by giving back to organizations and ministries that have had an impact on my life. I want to pass on that impact to others.

Keep on spreading!

I haven’t tried this brand yet but it looks delicious! I spread love today by inviting my friend to work out with me this morning:) we enjoyed a hard but good kickboxing workout that beat doing it alone!
MMMM absolutely love Love Grown. Just had some actually. Today i remembered to not think of just myself and my crummy day, but rather remember to ask about how something was going in a friend’s life. She was thankful that someone asked and remembered. Sounds simple, but sometimes you really have to stop and ask how someone is and truly mean it.

this morning one of my roommates was going to be late for her class because she missed the shuttle and was going to have to wait for the next one, so i saved the day and brought her all the way to school even though it was out of my way and a bit time-consuming. if i was in the same situation, i hope she (or anyone) would do the same for me!
i spread the love today by baking some goodies for a family member’s coworkers. they all loved them – i made almond toffee shortbread

You are a love spreading machine! Love it!
Today I spread the love by holding the subway door open when I saw someone sprinting down the stairs. I know it is a small act of kindness and all the other subway riders probably hated me, but I wish someone would do that for me from time to time so I am not watching my transportation flee the scene while I stand there with a long face. Every little thing counts right?!

Today I worked 12+ hours just so I could stay at school ( I am a teacher) and read stories to my little munchkins for “Bedtime Story night” It brings so much enjoyment to see how excited the kids get when their teachers show up in PJ’s to read them stories at night.
