I did it!
Unfortunately, I shared the track with three other people this morning. Four, if you count the dog. One of them was Creepy Binocular Man. Obviously, I'm going to have to get up earlier if I want to run by myself.
I wasn't feeling it this morning. I got up a little before 9:00, fed and medicated everyone. I wasn't hungry but I felt I needed something in my belly, so I ate a handful of almonds and raisins. Chased that with a cup of water, then drove down to the track. I was disappointed to see other people there and had that first impulse to turn around and go home. But I've come too far to let some track walkers deter me.
As it was, we all stayed pretty well spaced from each other. Creepy Binocular Man passed me twice (once during a run, once during the cool down) and the guy with the dog disappeared sometime after my third run.
Again, the running is getting easier; it's the walks in between that are killing me. Suggestions? Remedies? Anyone? Also, I realized I'm no longer sore the day after a run. Improvement!
So now I'm home (obviously). I just ate a banana and in 15 minutes I'm going to do my regular 20 minutes of cardio, plus my ab workout.
I really need to get new ear buds. I've got the ones that came with my iPod, but they slip out of my ears too easily.
I know they say fresh is better, but I'm thinking I might buy a bunch of frozen fruit for breakfast smoothies. I just bought a (cheap) new blender, and I really want a damn smoothie. I've got a couple of gigantic tubs of plain Wildwood Organics soy yogurt leftover from the Gathering earlier this month (gad, has it been that long already??), so why don't I use them?
I'm so bored with food. I really want to make this, but the extent of my cooking abilities extends only to how long I should nuke a boca burger in the microwave.
This is why I’m fat. I don’t eat enough varied foods. It’s hard, living with my mom, because she spends most of her time in the kitchen, preparing meals for her guinea pig. No, really. And the fridge/freezer is full of crap I don’t eat, and it’s too much of a bother to fight my way in and find something.
Lame excuse, I know. Once she’s back in Florida for the winter, I think I’ll be experimenting a lot in the kitchen. That is, if the guinea pig will let me.

I try to keep frozen berries on hand for smoothies. They're convenient and I don't need to add ice.
I try to stay away from packaged stuff. I've learned to make some things from scratch. I never cared for cooking before, but I realize now that it's a necessity. And it actually helps to clear my head, kinda like running.
Don't eat what you can't spell, right? Packaged stuff is so horribly convenient, but I really need to stop eating it. I do love a home cooked meal, but it's hard to find time. I'm working on it, though!
