The Last Straw

It is Saturday, therefore I heart running.

Posted by: getupnow In: General

My group run was today. It was awesome. I am already starting to dread the end of this group running thing. I can’t believe I ever questioned whether I would want to do it or not. Today is my son’s bday and my mom is here and my sister was getting here this morning, but I still went. I would hate to miss it. The coach is getting as familiar with my running as I am. He knows when my spurt is about to hit and now comments on it. Very encouraging, of course as encouraging is looking at his massive calf muscles. He is a thin runner type, but the calves are rockin’! OMG. 8-O 

Breakfast was the norm, lunch will be too. Dinner is yet to be determined. Hubby got us tickets to Michael. W. Smith and Steven Curtis Chapman concert. Since we will have a babysitter anyway, maybe we will go out to eat. Nope. Hubby passed on that idea. Oh well. Dinner will be lasagna, bread and salad.

Happy weekend, peeps!

 

***Just got back from the concert. Feeling a little gripey because of all of the food temptations today. I wish I could have had hot dogs and icecream cake and ranch dip and chips and nacho cheese at home. And I wish I could have had extra lasagna at dinner. And I wish I could have had nachos at the concert or a big thing of salty buttery popcorn. My appetite is just huge. HUGE. And it is one of those days when I get TICKED OFF seeing other people eating like there are no consequences, while I deny myself all of this. Then I have to remind myself that for many years, I did not deny myself any food that I wanted. So now I pay. Calories today on this VERY tempting day are 1,225. Take that, belly fat! Who’s in control now?!

I want a running group! I looked around here and also at the store that organized yours and nothin! Oh well, guess I will have to run vicariously through you ;-) Happy birthday to your little man, and may the force be with you while the celebration food is around!

I am jealous of your running group experience. I am now much more open to the idea of doing it myself since you had such a good experience. So, thanks, guinea pig!

WOW!! That sounds like an awesome concert to go too. I hope you were able to enjoy it instead of concentrating on what you couldn’t eat (I’ve done that before)

Your running group sounds awesome. They have one here I could get into but it’s at weird times. Maybe next season.
