Sick + Sore = Rest day

I feel, shall we say, under the weather. Have woken up with a sore throat the last couple days and have had a stuffy nose and been coughing so much at night that I keep waking up Stuart. I am going to treat today as a true "rest" day and let myself lounge a bit.

I think I overdid it last night doing the yoga routine before bed. My legs (especially calves) are aching. Bad news since I have to run again tomorrow. Must remember to not overdo it. I can see how pushing myself further today would almost definitely result in an injury.

I did do some super easy beginner's yoga this morning, just did it because Stuart wanted to do it this morning and wanted to help him along with it. His flexibility is so nonexistent, it's even a strain for him to simply sit up straight. I think yoga will really help him.

Food:
9am - 1 piece whole wheat seeded toast w/ peanut butter and banana, 1 and 1/2 cups coffee, 1/2 piece toast w/ butter
12.15pm - Chicken caesar salad and a super sugary lemonade (they love their sugar here in the Caribbean)
6pm - a ham, cheddar, romaine sandwich with mayo on whole wheat seeded bread and a bowl of curried lentil soup with carrots, onions, pureed chickpeas and garlic (recipe here - I didn't add the butter)**
7pm - 2 cups coffee
10.30pm - 2 pieces multigrain toast w/ butter

**That soup is baller. It was so easy- it literally took me about 30 minutes to make it, the veg still had a nice bite to it, mmm. Totally healthy too, I didn't add the butter it called for and it still tasted great.

Exercise:
15 mins of *really* light beginner's yoga with Stuart

I was starving tonight so I had to have a couple pieces of toast. I still feel sick, stuffy nose and coughing, and my soreness in my legs and butt seems to be getting worse. [sarcasm]SO excited for my run tomorrow![/sarcasm]

I think I'll take it really easy on my short 2 miler tomorrow. Warm up with a lot of stretching, then light jogging.

We went to Harrison Caves while my aunt was here. It is actually super cool and way less boring than I had anticipated.


I'm like that girl from that one Seinfeld episode who always wears the same dress.

Aunty Kelley and me.
