monday!?

i do not feel ready to start a new week until:
• the laundry is done
• the recycling has been taken out
• dinners for the week have been planned out
• some grocery shopping has been performed
• upcoming running/workout schedule has been decided on
• bills are paid/in-box folders sorted

although it’s monday, i’m not quite there yet. but i’m close, and with josh on call tonight i will have extra time to catch up on these necessities of life.

schizophrenic running
i think i am going to switch training plans AGAIN. i have 10 weeks to go until my half marathon, and this plan from runner’s world just seems like more fun and more variety than the FIRST plan i was using before. the first week looks like this (click to enlarge):i am also going to really work on getting in 2 short strength-training sessions/week, during the ‘XT’ days.

a new classic: lasagna roll-ups
using this recipe from giada on the food network, my extremely nice sister made and brought over this italian delicacy for dinner. it had a really pretty presentation as the roll-ups created a lovely spiral pattern, and it was delicious. served with tuscan red wine and a simple salad dressed in balsamic vinaigrette:
