TIRED!!
20 miles done..look how swollen my middle finger is, what’s up with that????
Ok so I am having a bit of a problem with my foot. I am not totally worried, it might be just swollen. Any thoughts…Here’s a little video to show you what I mean.
Once my appetite kicked in I hit up Panera Bread. I ordered the Tuna Sandwich on Honey Wheat, couldn’t have tasted better!!
To replenish my salt I went with some Baked Lays.
Because I was FREEZING (sweat does that to me) I ordered a large Hot Mango Tea.
DINNER
I have been quite the bum since I got home, but I did manage to hit up the grocery store and make a delicious dinner.
Oh how I LOVE LOVE LOVE Sweet Potato French Fries.
The Spices + EVOO
They came out perfect!!
I made a summer salad with poppy seeds 🙂
A Salmon Burger + Avocado
Love all the color
Perfectly filling and REAL dinner!
Time to get the final pieces put together for the NHS BAKE SALE TOMORROW!! It’s going to be great. It will start tomorrow morning and go on into the evening. It will close at 10pm tomorrow night so get your fingers ready 🙂
