Today I went out for a run after work. It's everything I can do to get myself to exercise after work, especially when it's cold out. I just want to come home, put on my jammies, and curl up on the couch. And that's what I did Tuesday, instead of running. I was cranky yesterday.
However, maybe it was good that I took the extra day because I had a great run on well rested legs. While I ran, I was listening to Blackie and the Rodeo Kings on my ipod and totally lost track of the time. I was planning to run 4/1 but I ran for 10 minutes before I realized I hadn't taken a walk break, so I only took 3 one-minute walk breaks for my entire run and felt fine! Plus, I ran a full 5 k instead of 30 minutes. What a slow 5 k it was though. 40 minutes. Ah well. My endurance is improving and that's what counts.
I'm still taking my vitamins daily but I'm don't

I hate that's he's off vacationing on a sandy beach and I'm stuck here in the cold, going to work, doing all the housework, looking after the pets etc. It sucks and it makes me cranky. However, I don't actually want to be down on the beach in Costa Rica right now - it's supposed to be Fall and I love the end of Fall/beginning of Winter. I just want him home with me so we can do all of our usual stuff together. If I were to head off somewhere warm, it would be in February when I'm sick of winter and snow.
OK enough bitching. Time to go feed my starter....

Ha! I'm dying here reading this post. I'm glad I'm not the only one who plays the food substitute game. I didn't drink any wine, so I can justify eating crap for dinner do dah do dah! It's an everyday struggle. Trying to be perfect is an impossibility. You're making yourself exercise even when you don't feel like it and that's a great big check mark on the good side.
