Today was a mid-length run of about 8 miles. It should have been 7, but I added an extra for the Pile/Miles Challenge. Tomorrow is a rest day though, so it evens out. It was an okay run, I felt good even though I ate way too much last night. I am letting go of yesterday. Today is a new…

F it
Yesterday was a super shitty bad day and I just feel like saying , F@#% it all! I just could not stop eating all day, which means I felt like crap all day. I wasn’t going to post my daily, but I am trying to hold myself accountable and also be “real” about my journey so I thought I should post…

Run 11/12/2008

Glad I wasn't training for L.A.
The Los Angeles Marathon was changed from early March to Memorial Day weekend in May. It has been around the same time every year for the last 23 years and many people train accordingly. It is hard to be ready for a great marathon in March and keep that peak of fitness until May. It sounds like it’s really caused…

Eat part II 11/10/2008
My afternoon snack was a True Delights Toasted Coconut Banana Macadamia Nut granol-y bar. It was good 🙂 I was expecting a fake/too sweet taste and that is not the case at all. I came home to find my free sample of Bear Naked granola I signed up for a while back. I love free stuff. I love granola. I…
