So it's back to the work week, and I have to say that my evenings are rather repetitive in terms of what I do most nights.
A typical evening at casa de Holding Pattern:
5-5:30pm get home and immediately take Clyde out to do his biznaz.
While outside, check mail.
5:45pm change into workout clothes or loungewear if I'm taking the night off.
6-6:15pm try to get my butt out the door to run, take Clyde for a walk, or do some Jillian Michaels (something active!).
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 7-8pm eat dinner, which is usually made in less than 20 minutes because I have no patience to make anything that takes longer and I'm usually famished.
Blog/read blogs/Twitter while eating dinner and watch Clyde beg for food.
Post dinner, do dishes, shower, clean up kitchen.
Sometime around 8-9pm turn on TV and try to watch something on Tivo, which is inevitably clogged with stuff I haven't had time to watch. I'm like a week behind in most shows at all times.
At some point I receive a call from Greg and we'll talk for an average of 10 minutes give or take depending on what exciting news or lack there of we have to discuss.
I may be using the internet more at this point too, depends on the night.
10:15pm go up to bed and try to settle Clyde down. He chews on a raw hide, takes a sip of water, then finally passes out around the time I do, which is probably around 10:45pm.
Exciting stuff, I know.
What's your evening routine?

It goes by SO FAST too. I have no idea where the night even goes!
Anyway, last night I did a four mile run in 38:43. I again tried to encorporate sprints and increase my speed. This is usually my routine on my first run of the week now.
Mile 1- 9:49
Mile 2- 9:28
Mile 3- 9:53
Mile 4- 9:30
Faster than my usual 10+ minute mile... I guess I'll take it!
For dinner last night I baked more of that awesome butternut squash I made on Sunday. I did it the same way as last time, cubed it, sprinkled with EVOO, salt, and cinnamon and baked on 400 for about 25 minutes. I had that with a mushroom burger topped with marinara sauce, spinach, and mozzarella.
I also enjoyed a leftover cupcake from Sunday's birthday party.
Oink oink!!
I've had a Netflix movie sitting on my TV stand for a couple weeks now. I never have time to watch them! I finally watched The Painted Veil. It was actually a good movie- two thumbs up from me! I crammed it in while cooking and eating dinner.
This morning I did have a stroke of genius and made apple oatmeal ala mode:

This morning I did have a stroke of genius and made apple oatmeal ala mode:
I microwaved sliced apples with cinnamon for two minutes.
Added:
1/3 cup oats
1/2 cup vanilla soy milk
1 teaspoon of Agave syrup
1 teaspoon of cinnamon vanilla sunflower butter
Microwaved it all together for about a minute and 40 seconds.
Meanwhile I made banana soft serve with coconut butter, and then put it on top.
Kinda like apple pie ala mode!
Tonight I took Clyde for a walk, came back and did some Jillian Michaels and some yoga for runners inspired by Jen! I haven't gotten my butt to the studio in a couple weeks, but wanted to get in some stretches for my running.
For dinner, I just had nachos made with Food Should Taste Good chips, black beans, tomato, spinach, salsa, and shredded cheddar.
