Some days I walk out the door and feel off through the entire run, sometimes I feel just average, lately I’ve been so tight and stressed about work and to be totally honest …I felt pretty crappy through my runs.  It’s pretty simple: when something is nagging my brain it nags my muscles and joints and sense of peace and gravity feels like its pulling me down into the ground with every step (which…i guess…. is actually the definition of gravity but somehow it feels harder to counteract)

I got a call last night that made me feel like things may be looking up and it  gave me just enough hope to set my mind free into an optimistic day dream of “what if…”

I ran 45 minutes in the Park and I stretched for about ten minutes when i got home.  I feel good.  It’s about 80 degrees out so it’s REALLY nice to sit in AC and type after a run…

On Monday I’m hitting the half way mark. WHOA!!!!

YES!!!

I keep eating peaches and nectarines.  I’m so particular about them – they have to be white and HARD AS A ROCK!  I’m craving “wet food” – tons of fruit and salad but I also keep going for these amazing 7 grain Kashi Waffles

and Puffins original cereal in Rice Milk.

I’m so weird because I water down my rice milk with ice cold water.  It has to be ICE cold and the ratio of Rice milk to water is about .25/.75

Is that the weirdest thing ever?  Yes it is. But it’s fucking great.

My body is craving hydration at all times.

I found an amazing new soda water flavor – GRANNY SMITH APPLE

I don’t even know why I like it – it’s such a weird flavor…. but I love it.

OH!! and I’ve been squeezing lemons on my salad.  WHY? Because they smell amazing.
