I’ve NEVER Seen This Before On The Running Path!

Hello! How are you? Over here it’s pretty good. I created an easy workout and healthy dinner last night that I wanted to share. But first – I saw something on the running path that I’ve never seen before. It’s mostly weird because I’ve lived here for about 6 years now and run this path about 4 to 5 days a week that entire time – anything new is kinda weird, right?

Well, I was just running along listening to my podcast of the day when I saw a very tattooed lady riding a pretty white and brown horse coming toward me on the running path. I love it!

I gave a little wave and said ‘good morning’ but I don’t think she heard me because she didn’t respond. So, I didn’t want to stop and take a picture right in her face because I wasn’t sure what scares a horse (I think I’ve watched too many movies?), but I snapped one when they passed. On the way back I saw a BIG pile of poo that was obviously from the horse and I spared you a picture of that. You’re welcome.

Speaking of random things – I know getting mystery bruises is common but I think I’m going for a record here. I got the big one on the left a few days ago and even showed it to my mom. This morning a few other ones are popping up. I must be smacking my arm into something and don’t realize!

Maybe I’m being clumsy because my brain is disoriented from heat stroke? I didn’t turn on the AC the day I went to the US Open of Surfing since I was going to be gone all day.

When I got home at 7pm I saw that the inside and outside were exactly the same temperature – almost 90 degrees. So much for insulation!

The good thing about summer is all my favorite fruits are in season – watermelon, mango, margaritas… and I’ve been filling up on them.

Ben said he was antsy the other day and wanted to workout. I run or do a  21 day fix workout or something early in the day so I didn’t really want to do anything – plus I was throwing together dinner. So, I used one of the oldest tricks in the book – a deck of cards workout.

I assigned each shape an exercise and told him to do the number of reps the card had with face cards being worth 10. It is fun because you don’t know what’s the next move and it’s easy because all the moves are familiar – just make sure you have good form.

What’s not easy (for me at least) is drawing the shapes. Ha! How tragic is my artwork?!

I just had him keep picking cards until I was done making dinner.

And dinner was super easy too! I like easy stuff. I’m lazy.

I baked a few boneless skinless chicken breasts with seasoning, sesame ginger dressing and hot sauce. I threw some frozen veggies in the microwave. And when the chicken was almost done added a baking sheet of potatoes to the oven to cook.

Protein. Carbs. Veggies. Check check and check.

Then, I made a banana mug cake for dessert and everything was right in the world.

Question: Do you ever see horses or other fun animals where you run?
