Fresh start..

Today went well! A couple of cool things happened today:

1. Apparently there is a Subway right up the road from where I work. Now I'm normally not a big fan of Subway, but they are quickly becoming one of the only places I can eat out for lunch. (Although there's an Extreme Pita even closer.) Anyway, this Subway is so new that it doesn't even stink up the whole block yet, so it's not half bad. I had the new chicken salad sandwich today, it was pretty good.

2. Someone planted a seed in my head that I need to run a marathon. I have no idea how I'll ever find the time to train for a marathon or even a half-marathon, but I like this plan. I'm going to do the 9 week program for n00bs, after which I should [allegedly] be able to run a 5k. After that, I'm going to go up 10% a week and hopefully I'll be in good enough shape by September to attempt the half in DL. My knees have taken a beating in the past, not so much from running but from wearing high heels, so I am committed to starting out slow this time. My first run begins in t-4 minutes or as soon as Jett is sound asleep, whichever is later. I haven't heard much in the past ten minutes though..

3. I successfully passed up sugar, dairy, and flour today. I don't feel better yet.. in fact, if anything, my body is really not impressed by this new, and less fun, change. Hopefully tomorrow is a little better.

4. I remembered to take my vitamins. hahh. Alright, even I'm bored with this blog. Off to attempt my first run! Don't care how I do as long as I don't end up with rugburn on my forehead. Wish me luck.

  1. How did the run end up? Will your knees hold up for DL in September?
