Food and Workout Log

Thanks for all of the feedback!! McDonalds breakfast and Halloween candy is the best. Robtherunner, your food habits are not rubbing off on me. I already had a sweet tooth, hence my blood sugar problem. Reguarding being "fast" I really don't think I am "fast" per say, but I am getting there. I am getting faster, but not fast. Heehee!! Thank you though. My bed is still making that sucking sound when I get out of it. It must be the time change. My only motivation to resist the gravitational pull toward the bed was the fact that I thought my new friend E was going to be running with the group this morning and I did not want to stand the group or my friend up. So I went only to find that she didn't come. Argh!! I could have used the sleep, I went to bed too late!! Volleyball has started and tryouts are in full swing. Hanging out with the other coaches will get me into trouble, seeing as how I get up so stinking early!! I ran anyway. It was good and challenging. I went to run the 4.89 mile loop in Plano. I hung with the group for like the first 20 minutes or so (my guess, almost the first 2.5 miles) and then I just couldn't hang. I dropped back and contemplated turning around. I kept going though. I was greeted with a gorgeous sunrise over the golf course this morning. It is still hot here. I guess I am just going to have to deal with it!! I live in Texas, should I be used to this by now??? No snow, No blustery wind, not even a slight frost on the grass?? Bleh!! Yuck!! Oh well, I am going to have to get over it!! I finished the 4.89miles in 52 minutes. I shaved 2 minutes or so off the last time I ran it on Monday!! Yipee!! (That was 10:30's for 5 miles straight!!). As usual, I had a great time and intend on comitting to the group and pay the yearly fee. It is a bit far to drive, but I think it is totally worth it. I upped my mileage this week. I have completed my first 30 mile week in almost a year!! Now that I think about it, finishing the Chi Marathon in 5:44 only running 2 days a week is actually quite amazing!! Moving on.
On a sad note, RunnerSusan's daughter has injured here eye ball with a jacket zipper. Apperently Kenza was goofing around and hit her eye with a zipper on her jacket. I am still waiting to hear something back! Susan will not be running the half this weekend!! I am afraid she is really discouraged about her post marathon performance. She has a lot going on right now anyway. She could really use the *rest* break. She will do well in Austin!!
I am off to eat lunch and take a nap!! I find myself *aggressively napping* a lot these days. *Aggressively napping* for me is setting a specific time of day to take a nap and staying there until I feel rested. Hahahaha!! It is a great habit but sometimes I feel like I am wasting the day!! I know rest is very important, especially when I don't get to sleep on time in the evening!! Reading back over this is making me nauseous!! I am so incredibly spoiled to get to have this kind of schedule. I love it!! I know a ton of people who would love to trade places with me!!
Blog on Friends!!

Breakfast: Cereal with Soy milk, and an apple (8:30)

Dinner:Who knows these days, I avoid the grocery store like the plague, for some reason. I want to cook even less than I want to go to the grocery store!! Sad!! I usually like to cook! Oh well.
