Repeat Miles, Ghana Yogurt, and Vitamin Water

I wanted to post last night, but I was kind of exhausted.  I made a half attempt to go see Bridesmaids, because it is supposed to be awesome, but it was sold out, so instead I stayed home watching The Voice and shoe window shopping online.

My Saturday started with a track workout.  My expectations were lower this time, but clearly they needed to be even lower!  I did three repeat miles with about 3 and a half minutes rest.  7:00, 7:01, 7:08.  

Oh Hai Bad Haircut!
Indulge me in a pity party for a minute here.  I know these times could look either fast or slow, depending on the beholder, and I am thankful just to be able to run (and that my super sore hamstring from those two races that I never talked about bc I didn't want to jinx it is finally getting better), but this is not where I want to be. 

 I read some stuff about marathon recovery online that made me feel a little better: active recovery - marathons

Here is a post workout picture that displays my apprehension of my fitness level, as well as my un-brushed, super need a haircut hair (sorry!)

I have a haircut appointment next week, but after taking this picture, I just resorted to cutting my hair in the bathroom!  I'm not sure is an improvement or not but it made me feel better =).

After the workout, I drowned my sorrows in some yogurtland!  I may not be the fan that Janae is, but their new Key Lime Pie flavor sure is pretty amazing!!!

Ghanaian Flag Anyone?  PS:  I am not an Africa Expert...I did some project from hell on Ghana a year back so thanks for indulging me in that nerd-scape.

$1.00 of Yogurtland
When I got to the checkout, I got this:

I can't get it to flip but YES that is a $1.00 off your next purchase.  I think it's just a California promotion (or possibly just my location), but bargain hunters, check it out!

Speaking of deals, Ralphs was running a $1.00 each promotion of Vitamin water. I've long been kind of skeptical of this stuff, but a couple weeks back, I finally tried it.  Conclusion...not bad...and not surprisingly...full of vitamins!  I've only have the Lemonade Zero thus far.  Apparently it's sweet because of Stevia Extract.

What is this stuff?  Anyone know?  Here's what wikipedia says:  Stevia

Bottom line, as long as it won't give me cancer, stomach problems, or some other unknown illness, I'm cool with it!

And on that note...I'm off for a bike ride and to watch my sister in law in a horse show!  She got four blue ribbons yesterday....talk about kicking some butt!

Have a great Sunday!

For the Q and A section:

What do you think of Vitamin Water?  
(jury is still out for me...I'm warming up to it!)

Do you ever make your Yogurtland look like other nation's flags?
(Think I'm alone in this one...)
