Do you ever feel like you never even had a weekend when you head back to work on Monday? I had a great weekend but as the alarm went off bright and early yesterday morning I felt like I never had a break. I convinced myself I would avoid the Monday blues if I started the day off with a nice run. 

It’s been a bit of a struggle to reach the miles I want to achieve since getting back into running after 6 weeks off, but I have managed to keep up the miles this week and it’s starting feel more natural and less of a strain. Every time I run on the treadmill I run the last 1/4 mile faster than the rest to release any remaining energy and finish strong. I feel like I have to race to the finish line.

Dinner involved leftovers from the Sunday football game. If you always find yourself with half empty jars of salsa this recipe is perfect for you.

While the beginning of the day started with a run to get energized I ended the day with some mint tea to ease into the evening. How do you like to end your day?
