Sneak peek and weird food

This morning I went out and ran three 2 mile intervals with a 1 minute rest break in between at my goal half marathon pace, which is about 8 min/miles.  Though I may run it a bit slower in two weeks depending on the heat.  I did a 1 mile warm up then just as I was getting ready to head into my first interval who shows up in the sky but a crop duster.  Oh great, just what I need.  So I had to readjust the route I was taking,  which was AWAY from him instead of towards.  

The  first 2 miles felt great, the second two miles I started to get a little hot and on the third I was struggling a little but I held it close to goal pace, okay I stopped for about 15 seconds to try and get the two bugs that flew into the back of my throat out.  Yuck

 I tried one my new Roctanes before hand and YUCK.  I pretty much had to gag that baby down with my peach tea flavored GU Brew (yum) but I felt like it did give me a little boost.  Anyone else use Roctane and like it?  Also tomorrow is the last day you can enter to win this tank!  I will be picking a random winner at noon my time.  I love this tank.  It feels so light and is so soft.  Thanks Running Chicks!

 But don't feel too bad if you don't win it because I just found out that my very favorite bra EVER is going to let me give one away to one of my lucky readers!  So if you really want one and don't win one over at Runninghood you could still win one here soon! Check me out in my pink one! 

 Did I mention I LOVE this bra? Ignore the weird stretch marks, courtesy of my Little Cowboy who I carried out in front of me like a basketball when I was pregnant.

 Check out the cute straps in the back.  These pictures were inspired by THIS post over at Discovering the Meaning of Stonehenge today.  Thanks to her I decided to do one of my intervals with no shirt on.  Okay, I was pretty positive no one was going to see me anyway so I felt pretty safe :)  It felt really good to run with no shirt, but I don't think I will make a habit of it. 

 Oops and I guess you know now that I have a little tatoo on my lower back.  I got it when I was 19 in college. Can anyone tell what it is?

My lil sis sent some Slovenian goodies with the Superhero capes including eucaluyptis gummies, not good, especially before a run.  Thought I was going to barf halfway thru my run.  Peanut butter flavored puffs- not bad.

 Twinki like things shaped like a bear and stuffed with gooey chocolate, these were a big hit with the kids.

 Chocolate bars full of pop rocks.  Personally I loved these. Yumm and I loved all the popping in my mouth.

 But my very favorite ketchup flavored chip type things.  SO good, the kids didn't get to eat very many of these.  Jessica if you are reading this I liked these a lot.. send more! :)

 These are full of chocolate that is great for dipping pretzels in. The indian on the front really cracked my up. The hazelnut ones are really good.

 What did you do great today?
 My run.  Yay!  Survived 5 kids that were 5 and under for 5 hours and now am going to make supper!
