To start, I learned some startling news when I walked into Panera this
morning… they have pumpkin pie bagels. Noooooo.
I resisted the urge for today, but I'm not
sure how much longer I can keep it up for. The large sign hanging up advertising
them makes them look flat out amazing.
I learned that it is in fact possible to burn something in a
crockpot. Last night I threw the ingredients for Pumpkin Oatmeal following a recipe that I found on Pinterest. This is how it was suppose to turn out:

This is how mine turned out:
LOLOLOLOL
Nevertheless, I sucked it up, threw an egg on top of a bowl of it this morning,
and called it a win... even if it wasn’t. I’m not too sad, steel cut oats
just aren’t my thing, I’m a little bit over them to be honest. I felt like I
was eating rice.
I learned that Tall Boy Natty Bohs on a school work night aren’t
the best idea, and really set me up for failure that next morning...
Enough said.
That same day, I also learned that running on my lunch break can
literally turn my day around. Now some may call it gross that I do this but as
a pretty minimal sweater, I have no issue pulling my hair back, slapping on
some deodorant, and continuing my day in the office. Even the shortest of runs helps to break up sitting on my
ass all day and makes me feel like less of a slob.

I learned that Spotify has a pretty awesome workout playlist. If
you’re a Spotifier, just type in ‘workout’ in the search box and select the
playlist entitled ‘Workout’ by Spotify. Rocket science, I know. It has a good
selection of jams and I thoroughly enjoyed it will remixing the below workout
at 5:30 this morning….
20 min sweat swesh (derived from a bunch
of WODS smooshed together)
100 sit ups
10 mins, AMRAP: 5 burpees, 10 pushups, 15 air
squats, 20 skaters
10 mins, AMRAP: 40 mountain climbers, 10
single squats (per leg), 20 (weighted)crunches
100 sit ups
I sweat, it woke me up, did the job.
Lastly, I learned that this girl is awesome, her blog is awesome, and this article is something that everyone should read.
"I don’t have what people expect I should have, but I am
abundantly blessed with absurd, exhilarating, and fantastic things I would have
never dreamed up on my own."

Early bedtime for me tonight, as an early alarm is set to pound
out 19 miles before 10 AM tomorrow. Encouragement welcome.
Cheers!
