Chart taken from Nike+ web site after sync. Click here to see how I did it.
Here’s my mini recap…
- It took a lot to get me out of the door this morning.
- I wanted to break out of the 2 mile rut I’ve been in. (haven’t run much past that in a few weeks)
- Set the Nike+ to 4 miles.
- Ran the first two and then walked for a minute while I decided if I should simply turn around and go back or take the long way and face the… dun dun dun… hills.
- I decide to take the hills. Mostly because I don’t feel like turning around.
- Hills were killer! Had to stop and walk one of them.
- Post hills I slowed down again. Maybe this was the wrong decision?!?
- Naaaa I’m almost there. Let’s kick up it a notch.
- Arrived back home, out of breath and feeling like a MILLION BUCKS!
- I learn yet again… You never regret a run. Ever.

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...] -
Yup. You read that correctly. BEET as in those red vegetables that stain your fingers pink. Honestly, I have no idea what possessed me to make this. I don't particularly like beets. I mean I like them, but I don't looove them. Two summers ago I made them for [...] -
Yesterday I decided to rediscover simple foods. Part of my cooking slump has to do with over thinking. So I did what I used to do, simply react to what I have on hand. This is what I came up with... Starting from top left around.., [...]

that is so true! You may not always be happy with your performance, but you’ll still always be glad you laced up.
Love it! Good for you Roni! I’ve been running for years now and have never regretted a run :)
“You never regret a run. Ever.”
MAN ain’t those the truest words ever spoken… now if only I can remember those words in the wee hours of the morning…
Nice job pushing through…it’s really hard to break out of one of those ruts. I can’t say I’ve never regretted a run (I’m sure there has been at least one), but I totally love that feeling when you get done with one after nearly cutting it short. Super BADASS! :)
I was NEVER a runner but your posts inspired me. Last night I did day 1 of C25K. I felt like a million bucks after that little bit. Can’t wait til this evening when I can do day 2. I REALLY enjoyed it!
Jill – That is AWESOME! So glad you are giving it a try. I never thought I’d be a runner and 2 years later I’m STILL loving it!
I’ve negotiated myself through many runs over the years and you’re right – never ever have I regretted one I’ve finished!
That’s so true. I’ve never regret a run that I’ve done, either. But why is it SO FREAKING HARD to work up the motivation to just do it?!
awesome run!
So true, Roni! The runs that you struggle to get done, sometimes have the greatest sense of accomplishment at the end!
You’ve inspired me, too. I’m on day 3 of C25K. I did NOT feel like a million bucks after the first day, but I am REALLY out of shape. It was not as hard the second day, so I was motivated to continue because that felt like progress. Today I feel like a quarter of a mil, so I’m getting there. I’ve already looked up 5Ks in the area for September and October and am looking for a partner to help keep me motivated until then.
Good post and so true. I ran a half marathon a little over a month ago and have not done much since (2 2 mile runs). I need to get back out there! Thanks for the reminder :)
Way to go, Roni! :)
Loren, I felt compelled to tell you that in late 2008 I did the C25K and wrote about it, the good and the bad. I’ve have friends tell me that it’s helped them get through it. You should be able to get to it from clicking on my name, if you’d like to. (I don’t mean to take anyone off this page, though. I just thought maybe it’ll help. It’s like a journal for each running session.) –Shannan
So true – just so hard to remember when you first wake up. :)
Thanks Shannan! I just read through the whole thing, and I am sure I’ll come back to it many times over the next several weeks.
Roni’s page is already a habit. I don’t think she’ll mind that you sent me to your page, especially since your motives are good.
Of course I don’t mind! That’s why I blog! Love connecting people! :)
That’s great, Loren! I hope it helps in some way. Thanks, Roni. :)
I’ve never thought about it that way, but I’ve never ever regretted a run. Awesome mantra! I’m going to use that to get my workout mojo back.
YOU ROCK!!!!
Great post! You’re very inspiring! . I just found this 5 reasons to start running now and I think I’m convinced! Keep up the great running work!
That’s is so true. I am love with running and it’s only W1D3 of the c25k program!
So very true! I did my first 2mi after a loooooooooooong hiatus and it was AMAZING! Hard, I questioned myself, fought the urge to vomit(late, heavy dinner), but I DID it and it was SO worth it!
Way to go!
question… do you ever get shin splints!?!
I absolutely love running and i would do it ALL the time, but i keep getting shin splints. BAD. i was told i needed to get better shoes. Did that. let them heal. started running again and they were fine but they have slowly but surely crept back in.
Rebekah – Did you actually get measured? I think that’s as important then “a good shoe” Once I was analyzed for correct shoe support it hasn’t been a problem. Plus as your muscles start to strengthen they will happen less and less. I haven’t had them in well over a year but I did get them a lot the first few months.
