I'm glad.....

That today is over! Man, I was amazingly crabby. I could hardly even recognize myself. Just very crank, and very down. I know that part of it is that work has just become a place I dread. I also am working on about day 4 (I guess) of not sleeping. And that just breaks me after a few days. But I don't want to take a sleeping pill because they make me brain dead and I have some much homework. Also, I think I was just plain hungry! So, glad to be home. Glad to be going to bed soon.

Now, on to the good stuff!

I had such a great run today. The other day I decided that my new goal was to run 10 minute miles over four miles. Usually I slow down when I tack on that fourth mile. Anyway, I did four this morning and my time was 40:26! I was darn amazed! So I'll keep it up but maybe soon I'll need another new goal!

I didn't run hills today. Just didn't have it in me.

I intend to take tomorrow "off" and jump rope. Still have not decided what to do about my pushups. But we will all know tomorrow!

I'm in a slump here, too, and think it's because vacation is coming to an end and I'm not ready to go back to work next Tuesday. Also, this leg has me bummed out but it is getting better. I walked 2 miles this morning and wanted to run but forced myself to just walk today. Will see what tomorrow brings. And the 3rd "downer" is that I gained 3 lbs in Montana!!! Too much snacking. So I just have to get back in gear here and into my home routine.

Your time is great! I will be happy to just get back to my 2 mile run every day.

Have a good one.

All these things add up, don't they? I know what you mean. I don't have one specific thing bringing me down. It is the combination of weight. I can tell you I'm glad I don't drink anymore - I'd be 100% worse off!

OK, the weight is a bummer. I'm pretty attached to my number on that scale right now. So I know how that feels. I'm glad they had more then wheat stocks out there for you to snack on though!
