Not Inclined to Incline

Today after work, I had planned to go take a class at my gym.  Instead, I decided to stay home and go for a run on my treadmill.  Even though it was sunny outside, I whimped out and went for a run on the old hamster wheel.  After a long winter of many outdoor runs, I just can't handle any more.  Where is the warm spring weather?  I'm getting impatient!

I ran 3 miles, 5 min warm-up, usual pace(9:30-9:03), and 1.0 incline.

I haven't been running much lately so this was tougher than I expected, especially since you know I never do an incline.  I got to get back into the swing of things!

This is my scenery while running.  What, you didn't think people my age read Woman's Day?  It has good recipes, and I like to read about Valerie Bertinelli's attempts to stay relevant, and how she named her son Wolfie.  Poor Kid.

After my run, I cooled down, stretched, did a few planks, and headed upstairs for dinner.

On the menu:  Chicken Caesar Salads:

In Other News....
A friend of mine is designing a logo for Mac&Cheese&Peas, so you can expect to see that soon! I'm really excited about it.

As promised, here are some photos of the completed table.  I love how it came out.  I picked up the hardware from Anthropologie for $6, making the total cost of this project only $6.  I used leftover paint and brushes.  How's that for design on a dime??



 Are you working on any DIY projects at home? I'd love to hear!
