The Good News: I witnessed one of the most gorgeous sun rises on my way to work this morning…I let out an audible “wow!”

I also broke my recent exercise slump by getting out for two walks today and running three miles after work!

The Bad News: The run sucked. That’s right – I used the “S” word. It sucked hard. Remember when I said if you don’t use it, you lose it? Well, I have not been “using” it enough the past two weeks, and I definitely felt the effects. I never wanted to quit, but that three miles was way harder than it should have been. In the spirit of 101 Greatest Running Tip #62 though, I stewed about it while I finished up my last quarter mile, while I slammed some ice water that Ben had waiting for me at the door (aww) and while I showered. Then, I moved on and committed myself to being more consistent in my running, in the future.

Theeeeen, I made dinner! Turkey Sausage Breakfast Frittata!

I followed my basic frittata recipe, but made the following adjustments:

1. I cooked two of my lean, Sweet Turkey Sausages out of their casings and crumbled.
2. I used 2 handfuls of frozen hashbrowns instead of pasta, which I cooked up for a few minutes with some ice cubes until they were soft. Then I threw in a couple handfuls of fresh, baby spinach and let them wilt for ~1 minute.

Other than that, the recipe was the exact same. Topped with some sliced cheddar cheese – FAAAAB!

I am just in love with this turkey sausage – there was literally not a drop of excess grease or oil when I cooked it up.

The hashbrowns and parmesan cheese in the eggs made this creamy and filling.

Love, love, LOVED this dish!! I had two slices, which was a quarter of the recipe…but I think I’ll be going back for more in a squinch

Since the Miami Hurricanes are playing tonight, Ben made a “game day” dinner of frozen pizza. I had a couple pieces because, fun fact: I love frozen pizza. I would rather eat frozen pizza than delivery…is that weird?

My agenda tonight includes paying some bills, bills, bills and watching the…
