I Can't Believe I Am About to Say This...

...but before I do, let's look at some food. The suspense!

Dinner last night was Chicken Fajitas. The star of this show was the chicken that had been marinating all day in Goya Zesty Mojo Criollo marinade. It was extremely tender with a ton of flavor.

Served on grilled, white corn tortillas w/ homemade guacamole, grilled red peppers & onions, and cheddar cheese

Kevin made his plate look prettier than mine...for the blog. :)

He is great and brought me these pretty things with a card.

The reason?...I got a new job and start in 2 weeks. With the economy the way it is I feel very fortunate to have a great opportunity in a new place. Once I start, my blogging may be less frequent, but I love this hobby of mine and plan to keep up with it as much as possible.

Dessert was 2 of these little Mochi ice cream thingees - Mango flavor - that I picked up at Trader Joes.

I think that the trick is to let them thaw for about 10 mins, so they are all ooey and gooey when you bite into them.

Tuesday Workout

Last night, while Kevin was slaving over the oven preparing dinner, I took an hour spin class at the gym. The instructor was really annoying and would sing along to every song and then be like "Whohoo!" - she probably said it 50 times. I think I have been to this Tuesday class and even wrote about how annoying it was on here. Oh well - got a good workout in at least.

Hamstring

Sooo, I haven't been writing as much about running and workouts out because I didn't want to face the fact that my hamstring has been bothering me since the mountain bike race a few weeks back. When Kevin and I ran our 60 min trail run on Sunday - I felt it - twinges anytime I would take longer strides or jump up over logs. I ended up having to go much slower than normal to ensure I didn't feel it as much.

Last night in spin - it actually hurt a few times and was throbbing afterwards as I sat on the couch watching The Biggest Loser. I was thinking how glad I am that I didn't sign up for many longer distance running races this year.

Plans Change

That is why I can't believe I am about to say this, but, I am considering signing up to run the Baltimore Marathon this fall. Why? Well, my boyfriend ran his first marathon last year - Recap Here - and wasn't happy with his time. He wants to improve and said that he wants to try Baltimore again this year - and wants me to do it with him. He is ready to sign up today, but I said I need some time to consider it. Am I ready to commit to this training again? Is my hamstring ready to commit? It would be my 6th...oh geez...I kind of want to do it. What is wrong with me?

So yeah - lots of thinking to do and I want to look at the calendar to see how a training schedule would look - consult my marathon trainer - a.k.a: dad. Will keep you posted!
