is VERY different from running in the winter in the south. i ran about 1.5 (technically 1.48) miles to my friend’s house who just had HER wisdom teeth out (twins!) to visit her. i also don’t have a car. but exercise and transportation, that’s two birds with one stone!

the cold was really rough on my lungs though. i was all kinds of coughing and wheezing. but there’s only one way to get back in shape and that is to jump right back in!

i had some tasty oatmeal, a diced peach cup, and an avocado for breakfast, which ended up being more like lunch by the time i woke up, some asparagus and bean soup with my toothless friend, and some pepperoni pizza for dinner (i was way under calories).

so i’m ending my day at about 1500 calories which is not bad for the first day back on the horse! luckily my jaw is feeling better (although the muscles are still pretty tight—apparently i clench my jaw when i sleep which is not uncommon but after my wisdom teeth, i clenched even harder because of the pain, etc. etc.) so chewing healthy foods is easier :)
