Run Sarah Run: Striving for Progress

"Strive for Progress, not perfection"

Thank you 12wbt for tweeting this in the last couple of days. I could really relate to it and hence have decided to make it my motto!

After my efforts on Saturday, I've taken the first step and made a couple of inquiries about hiring a running coach. I really believe it will help me overcome my mental barriers and improve my speed and technique. Also, it's another motivation and someone to meet for a workout. I seem to train so much better with other people and enjoy it so much more.

My Run Tonight

The good news is I kicked butt again with my running group tonight. 8km in 54 mins... Still need to work on pace, but like I said, Progress is my new best friend, not perfection.. I will get there.

The girls I run with suggested trying the radio to help with distraction instead of music. Will definitely have to give this a go on Saturday when I next tackle the lap on my own. Great idea!

Oh yeah and on the food front I was little bit excited when i re-created a yummy breakfast dad and I ordered at one of my favourite cafe's not to long ago. It was a Tuscan style scrambled eggs with scrambled eggs. I simply just scrambled eggs as normal, tossed through some diced sundried tomato then added some Tuscan seasoning mix and wallah! So yummy and still under 300 calories per serve.

My Awesome Tuscan Scrambled Eggs

I'm so looking forward to Round 4 starting next week and getting a whole new bunch of recipes, but In true Sarah style, here's a few foodie pics of some of my fav's I've been re-visiting over the week!
