I am finally back from doing the 'Navy-thing'. I can't wait until this weekend when I can actually relax. Although I did get to watch some cable t.v. - a perk.
Anyway, I want to talk about this morning. Usually, I am in need of a pick-me-up in the morning because of the heat, but today...it was beeeauuuutiiiiifulllllll! It was sooo nice!!!!!!
Cool, calm and refreshing. I loved it. I got in my car, measured out a quarter mile distance and proceeded to run my lap intervals. ( Gotta be ready in case the Amazing Race people call. I'm gonna need to learn how to swim too. Don't worry Matt, I am positive that I can float - so I'm halfway there.) It was just like the spring time had come back to rejuvenate me. I hope it is cool tomorrow for our group run. If not, I'll have to turn the radio up loud on the way out there.

Went to Fleet Feet today and bought another pair of shoes for training. I've worn out the cushion in my old ones. I just have to keep telling myself, "It's an investment." Is it me or lately does it seem like you're spending more money than before?

Got my pictures back from Goat Milk. Like an idiot, I didn't use the flash so as not to ruin people's night vision and the pics came out dark. Oh well. Did get some of the runners and my battle scar. Carol took a pic of me while I ran backwards. This brings me to a question. You know how they say 'the camera puts on ten pounds'? I want to know how it knows exactly where to place those ten pounds! Are all the instamatic cameras installed with a 'fun-house' type lens? In proportion to my head my hips are still rather large. When will this maddness end?!

I've been reading and researching, as usual, and I think I am going to lean towards a vegetarian diet. I eat all those healthy foods already, but those healthy foods can eat up your wallet too. Still researching. Have decreased my portions, which I must admit, I am loving. Yes, you're hungry every two to three hours, but that means I get to eat. Maybe it's not the comfort of the food, but the habit of the chewing that I am addicted to. I know what you're thinking, 'try gum'. It's not the same. The stomach still cries out in desperation. I choose to eat. There is, however, a company luncheon on Friday. Pray for me girls. Pray that I don't give the camera lens' the satisfaction.

To my ladies of our early morning group, I'll see you tomorrow. Right now I got some rice pilaf and lentils calling my name. EAT ON!!!
