Running Mojo

I did a 5 miler yesterday and I have to say I think my running mojo is making it's way back! The reward goes to a new product I found and LOVE I really believe this had a lot to do with my energy. I forgot my headphones at home and I think it's a true miracle I ran without music blasting in my ears haha, let alone at the pace I ran! 

and the reward goes to these "crack in a gummy".......

I have never ran with anything like these before but I have heard of people taking gel packs and gummies like these and NOW I know why! These things were awesome I had so much energy with no music, I was never out of breath, and I busted out my old 9 minute miles again!!!! Do any of y'all use these when you run?

I think mile 4 was when I had to make a pit stop for the dog :)

It was a whole new world to me running without music. I could hear the birds chirping, the people I pass talking, and I could actually taste the fresh air I was breathing in! Usually if my headphones fell out on previous runs it was like the whole world would stop and I couldn't even run ha! But this was amazing actually! With that being said, I don't think I would like to run without music all the time, maybe on short runs but long runs I need my jams! It was an amazing run, but what run isn't an amazing run when it's done right?!

I came home just in time to make dinner for the family. My kids love crusted chicken. I usually use Shake n' Bake but they were out at the store so I tried the Progresso Crispy Italian and it was delicious!

With all the clean eating I've been doing and running back in my workouts MyFitness Pal was really nice to me yesterday!

So this is telling me if I run 5 miles everyday for the next 5 weeks I could weigh 127 pounds! Craziness! But I won't be running 5 miles everyday. However, this proves my "domain" Run Off Your Bum", because you can literally do just that hahaha!

 

Well I hope y'all have a wonderful Tuesday and have a great workout today!!! XOXOXO
