How ya doin' Jeff?

How did the fast go? Are you running? Eating well???

My eating has improved 100%, so I am listing the fast as successful in getting my mind back in the proper groove.

My running schedule is not looking so good.

dw's ultrasound/Dr. visit took forever (don't they always!) and we are having dinner at my mother's today. I didn't realize about the dinner at my mother's house due to a lack of communication with dw, and I just don't have enough time to do it before dinner tonight.

So (sigh) I don't see me doing it tonight. I need to rest before FedEx. On a good note, there is no reason I can't hit it tomorrow morning and that is what I plan to do. I'll probably be looking at a schedule like this now:

Wed: 7 miles run
Thursday: 2 mile walk
Friday: 7 mile run
Saturday: Off... watching kids for dw's birthday.
Sunday: 10 mile run.

I made it through the fast yesterday and have eaten healthy food today. It may be a bit tough tonight. We are going to the Keystone Grill for a freebie dinner. I think I will just have them box a dessert to bring home to the kids and pass on that.

I have had a rough time running so I have started doing short runs. Friday I will do 10 or more if my partner is up to it. We are going to do 14 next saturday and that will probably be the last long run I do until the mini.

Sounds like you are getting some mileage in. How's the body feeling?

The body feels ok, but despite my lofty goals... I've not run more then twice a week for awhile. When I ran the Mini my best year I was running 3 times a week and walking two times a week. I think the walking helps more then it seems. It helps develop some different muscles and keeps your body in motion for a total of five days per week when mixed with a good running schedule.

Oh well... I WILL run 7 miles tomorrow. You can bet on that.
