Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter!! Nothing like a day to celebrate by eating a lot of delicious food and boat load of candy lol! I know.. I know.. It's a lot more than just food and candy. This day is to celebrate that Jesus rose from the dead (Yes I did just get religious on you). Regardless of whether you believe or not, it's a day of hope, happiness, and love. So what better way than to celebrate the day with family!

So, yesterday I was supposed to run with a local running group, but I decided to sleep in instead. It was probably the best idea ever. My body definitely needed it. So I snuggled in bed with my wonderful husband and slept for an extra hour. Once I woke up, I warmed up by taking the dogs on a jog around the block. After their jog, I left the house for my 6 mile run Garmin-free. It was awesome. I always say that we get too caught up on time and distance, and we forget about just running. I definitely want to have more workouts that are Garmin-free so I can enjoy running again.

After my run, I got some work in and just relaxed. I finished my day with a fabulous dinner: Portabello Mushroom burger. I've been having the weirdest craving for it (which is so beyond weird because I've never had it - and no, I'm not pregnant). Since it was our first time making it, we followed the directions to the T. It was absolutely FANTASTIC!!! For the recipe I tried, go here: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/portobello-mushroom-burgers/.

Today, I did partake in eating a lot of food and candy, but I tried to restrain myself from overindulging. My day started out by seeing my wonderful mother and stepdad for a little while before they headed up to Orlando. After church, my husband I met up with his family and had brunch together. I'm still not hungry from brunch lol. After another nap, I got a workout in with my bike! It's definitely been a while.  My workout consisted of 5 minute warm-up with 5 minute "hill intervals" with 2 minutes of rest in between. My workout was about 45 minutes long which was perfect! Gotta to get ready for triathlon training :)

Tomorrow is the start of another work week. Here is to smooth sailing!!
