282nd New Thing - Ran 15 Miles

Since I'm training for my 1st (and last) marathon, I'm getting up into higher mileage. I typically run 3 miles Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I rest Friday, run my long runs on Saturday morning, and rest Sunday. My Hal Higdon Marathon Training Program said to run 15 miles so I did. I did it is 2 hours and 30 minutes. I'm training for the Denver Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series on September 22, 2012. I began my run this morning at 7:30am in Glendale on the Cherry Creek Trail and went east for about 4 miles. Then I went west on the Highline Canal Trail for 3.5 miles until I got to James A Bible Park and turned around to run all the way back. It was a very difficult run with rolling hills. Running 15 miles in challenging. At least I had my iPod with music. My previous longest run was 13.1 miles when I ran my 2nd 1/2 marathon in October 2011.

The area around the wound started getting bigger instead of smaller and oozing. Therefore, I went back to my doctor to check it out. She said I was having an allergic reaction to something, probably the Neosporin . She gave me some new ointment, Vanos , and said I should take Zyrtec until the area starts to get better. Vanos (fluocinonide) Cream is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses in patients. Best results are seen if used twice per day. Zyrtec (cetirizine) is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. Zyrtec can be u...

364th New Thing - Ate a Mini Lemon Bites

My co-workers birthday was today so to celebrate they bought her a vanilla cake, a chocolate cake, and mini lemon bites from Costco . I had some chocolate cake and a mini lemon bite. These are made by Upper Crust Bakery . They supply Sam's Club, Starbucks, Costco, Kroger, Whole Foods, and BJ’s Wholesale Club. Both desserts that I ate tasted good. According to the Livestrong Calorie Tracker , 1 mini lemon bite is 130 calories, 19 g carbs, and 1 g protein. What did you do today?
