I left the day after Christmas to visit the BF and his family in Florida. I flew out of the Orange County airport with a layover in Houston before ending up in Tampa. Okay, this is a long story I am going to try and make short- The flight out of Orange County was about 20 minutes delayed and then ... Read More about It was a long day…

It was sprinkling this morning, but just barely so I decided to go for it and run. Well, of course it started to rain harder while I was out, but I was already wet so I did 5 miles and went home. I am not used to this much rain. What is the deal? According to weather.com it's going to run Christmas ... Read More about Run 12/22/2008

Before my run this morning I wasn't really hungry, but thought I should at least eat some toast with PB. I usually don't eat before a short run so my body isn't that used to it. My run today was supposed to be 19 miles. It was super cold which is good running weather, especially for a long run! I ... Read More about Run 12/20/2008

Surprisingly, after running for over 3 hours I was not hungry at all. My stomach even felt a little upset, but I didn't eat anything during my run and only had a piece of toast before so I knew I had to eat something. I don't have any fruit at home so I stopped at TJ's for some blackberries, ... Read More about Eat Part I 12/20/2008
