10 miles, new babies and old babies
There is a 10 mile run/walk in Sept. Its on paved neighborhood roads. I just decided to do it. Although, I think this one, I will do without Junior. He was good for 5 miles, and I might even take him on a 10K (6.2 miles), but I think 10 miles would be a lot. I can’t be afraid; I just have to do it. I can walk if necessary, but I will be preparing for that the next few weeks, and bumping up my distance. I have already tracked routs in the neighborhood to see here to run.
I feel okay today. My lower legs are still a tiny bit tight, but not too noticeable. My knee was in bad shape yesterday, but I rested, and did some massaging last night, so it feels a lot better today.
I have work on my desk, and my office is a disaster, but I don’t want to do anything. I am absorbed in running and weight loss websites. I have some serious obsessive tendencies. Once I get stuck on an idea, though, anything, I have a tendency to allow it to consume my time. E.g. running.
I started a food journal last week. Its going good. I have been able to come close to my calorie goals daily. Sometime a little under, sometimes a little over. So far I haven’t had any problems. It makes you much more aware of what you put in your mouth, because you have to write it down. Oh, I am also logging all my water, weight, vitamin, exercise, and occasionally what work close I am wearing and how I feel in them. This is the depressing part.
I will lose weight eventually. I guess the fact that I start my period next week doesn’t help. Thankfully it never lasts long, or bad.
The One and I are trying to decide when to start the baby thing. Personally, right now I would like to put it off a year. Just until next summer. But if we do it this fall, I will be out boarding again by next winter. UGH… its just so much to think about right now. A baby… they cost so much time and money. Junior is just now getting self sufficient, and we are doing things together, like running, snowboarding, wakeboarding, etc. I can’t help but think its not fair to him.
