Even though I was full from dinner the ice cream in the freezer has been calling my name. So, I had some topped with a granola bar and some chocolate syrup. A little over the top, but that’s how I do it. Hey, I have a 15 miler planned for tomorrow – Ice Cream is Carbs, Right???
Dinner was just leftovers from yesterday – pasta, beans, feta cheese and broccoli. And I stole some of Ben’s bread, because I love bread and all.
Tomorrow morning I have a 15 miler planned. Running that far alone is rough π Even if I do have the energy to keep running,Β I get bored of my head movies. That’s when the “You should just stop” thoughts creep in. I may start running with the local running group. And I may have Ben bike ride beside me as the miles get higher – it’s great to have someone to hold your fuel!

haha – funny how that works hey? I can be completely full and satisfied from a meal with no cravings for ice cream at all….but just knowing that it’s there in my freezer haunts my brain until I go out for just ‘one bite’. That one bite takes a hold over me and quickly becomes several out of the tub…followed by a nice big cereal bowl-ful…(or two – oops) π
I’m glad you made it back safely, it probably feels great to be back home!
Good luck and have fun on your fun.
Good luck today, I hope the run goes smoothly!
I thought up a new mantra for myself when they “you should just stop” thoughts creep in. I think to myself “can’t stop, won’t stop”. It sounds silly, but you are more than welcome to borrow it. Just don’t forget to give it back.
I have been reading your blog for inspiration recently. I ran my first 5k today. 30 minutes 35 seconds π Part of the way I thought about you and some of the other runners whose blogs I have been reading lately and it really pushed me to keep going, so thank you! Unfortunately I was in the 15-19 age group (I’m 19) which meant all of the cross country kids from town were in my age group. Still made 8th though for women’s 15-19! Would have made 3rd if I was 20!
I just wanted to thank you for all of the inspiration you have been giving me!

That meal (and dessert!) look way yummy! Hey, any way you can fuel your bod right π Good luck on your run tomorrow. Just picture all your blog peeps cheering you on–cuz we will be! xoxo
Look into the local running club! The one here saved me! In fact- I’m getting ready to go now for our 10 miler (we are training for Miami ING).
Good luck today! π
Good luck on the 15 miler! A running group is a great idea. I’m sorry you don’t feel at home where you are. I moved to Ohio three years ago and I just recently began to feel at home here.
ice cream is 100 percent carb π Espesh with that granola bar on top! 15 miles is rough, but just get past the 6 mile mark and 10 mile mark and just push yourself. I will be running with you tomorrow in spirit!
xoxo as always,
Lo
Long runs alone are not fun at all… during my marathon training I’ve done a few alone, including my first ever 14 miler. Luckily it was a good run, but I couldn’t imagine doing anything longer alone… or even doing that alone again. I’d suggest joining a running group if you find one. π
Good luck tomorrow!
