I’m sitting at my desk SOAKING wet because there was a torrential rain storm that hit as I was walking back to my car, which was parked light years away! And now it’s sunny….
Anywho, I woke up and had 1/2 of a Kashi Honey Almond Flax Bar before hitting the gym. It’s so great to be back at a normal-sized gym again.
I got the schedules for the Group Fitness Classes and Spinning Classes. Can’t wait for Body Tone, Ashtanga Yoga and Spin!
Workout:
This morning I ran 1 mile. I’m trying to take it SUPER DUPER slow so I don’t mess up my shins for the umpteenth time. Then I walked 1 mile on a 6.0 incline and ellipticalled for 20 [boring] minutes.
I am trying to start back up running. I’ve given my shins enough rest (hopefully) and I miss running so much! Two years ago, I got up to 40 miles a week and now it is 2 miles at best. I’ve been shopping around for races to sign up for to use as motivation but haven’t seen anything I like yet.

Afterwards I stopped at Quenchers a fresh fruit/veggie bar that also has water, sports drinks, bars, and smoothies. This place is conveniently located in our gym. I looked VERY sketchy taking photos today so this was all I could get!
I then headed to The Refectory Cafe: A ‘Green Cafe’ on my school campus that uses local products, organic ingredients, recycled materials, and sustainable practices. It’s so cute and green.
I got half of a veggie+hummus wrap, a slice of Zucchini Bread paired w/ some strawberries, pineapple and grapes from Quenchers.
I saved the strawberries for later. I wasn’t planning on getting anything sweet but Tina was calling for Friday Treat submissions so I figured why not.
I’ve got some healthy snacks that I got today on campus to show ya later!

haha i like that you find the elliptical to be boring too. the only good part about it is that i feel it in my arms after
i love zucchini bread, yum! sweet yet also veggie-ful!
Duke has some awesome fitness classes and healthy food choices! The hummus wrap and zucchini bread sounds yummy
Loving the food choices you have there! Lol, I always feel like such a weirdo taking photos… I’m scared they will arrest me or something!
I totally miss spin classes – my new gym doesn’t offer them.
That zucchini bread looks amazing!!
Wow. What great group fitness activities Duke has available. SF has a great bootcamp workout, but that’s the only group fitness class we have.
I am jealous of Duke and their awesome cafes and fitness class. The fitness classes at my school are less than stellar, but I still want to try to take one this semester! I am getting one credit for taking yoga though, excited to try that out!
crap, your post reminded me i forgot to puck up a class schedule at the gym! thanks for the reminder. that is awesome you have access to such a nice cafe on campus!
I’m drooling over that Zucchini Bread girl. And 40mi/week?! That’s AWESOME!
Good for you for taking care of your shins!
What a cute liitle cafe at your school! And fresh fruit/veg at the gym? Brilliant!
Good luck on easing back into running….
I got caught in a torrential downpour today too! And then 5 min later, Mr. Sunshine came out and dried up all the rain.
Don’t you just love August?
Great job on the run today love. And kudos to you for taking it easy and building it up in a healthy mehtod. You will get your groove back in no time!
Wow! College food has really improved since my time there.
All my campus favorites! I’m surprised we didn’t meet before…
What GORGEOUS pictures! I’m so jealous. When I was in college (er, um about 10 years ago) the choices were NOT so healthy.
