After my shower this morning, I just sort of zoned out in front of the mirror. This happens quite often when monotonous activity like combing wet hair or applying lotion can turn into a very relaxing few minutes every morning. I noticed that I am starting to get smile lines on my left side around my eyes. I love this! It just means that you have eyes that smile and its a look I have been coveting since I was a little girl. My face turns red when I get nervous and when I blush. Few people know that my nose gets red quicker than my cheeks under any circumstance. I think these imperfections make us who we are.

I know someone who touches their chin everytime they get nervous, this same person also has a very endearing lisp that comes out when engaged in a serious conversation. I love that I know this about them. Its a part of him and makes him very special.


I swallowed a bug this morning. It sort of just flew in - serves it right! I had to stop and hack it out, but no such luck. Oh well...its protein!

16 miles this am! It is so very hot - but running in this heat is doing wonders for my conditioning!

Blahs

I think I'm coming down with a stomach bug. My stomach has been irritated - I'm not even going to go into why, suffice to say it involves diary and I am lactose intolerant!! Lack of sleep has made flu-ish symptoms surface. I never get sick and now it has to happen 9 days before the marathon. So annoying!!

3.7 very sluggish and hot miles this pm. I should not have gone out in this heat - made me feel worse :-(!! I had a few sips of sports drink and my stomach revolted again. This isnt looking good.

900 stair sprints this am - 95 minutes
Weight: 115lbs

Dont change for another 10days!!

Back on track Tuesdaily!

This morning I woke up after a good night's sleep, this is always pleasing. The day so far however, has been dominated by my thoughts of pending decisions, perhaps life changing, perhaps not. At the moment, I do not feel like making life changing decisions, I feel like floating along and seeing where the current takes me. I just wish the anxieties of these decisions would go away and let me enjoy the current. But I guess it is this anxiety that keeps us on the right track. Damn the right track!

My muscles were bursting with glycogen this morning - I havent run in 5days and have had no physical activity for 3. This rarely happens - unless I'm stuck in India!

18 very happy miles this am in 140 minutes! Loving the speed!
50 easy laps in the pool - 2miles

I feel like myself again!

An Engagement.

I am now bethroed and wont be running till tomorrow and properly till Tuesday.
It has been the reason why I have been so unfocussed lately.
I did however do a fast 4 miler, followed by an hour in the pool one day
plus 45 minutes in the pool. But no real miles.
I got engaged at 2am on Sunday morning. God Bless!
