Great morning. I'm so glad I have a friend who picks me up. There are mornings when I'm so tempted to stay tucked in my warm bed. There are also mornings when a run is just what I needed and I feel so good when I'm done.

This morning I messed around with some Fartlek training. I was reading my Jeff Galloway book last night and read about it. My neighbor also does this. It changed things up this morning and was great to do. Mine was a little more relaxed, no time involved. I ran a mile to warm up and then I would run a faster lap, then a slower lap. My last mile I would actually run 2 faster laps and then run a slower one. It's probably not done how someone else intended but it felt good this morning - I'll read more and get some more resources - then try it again.

Did I mention I did Bob's workout yesterday? My arms and shoulders are feeling it today. Feels good!

Food. Food. Food. I am not sure what's gotten into me but I am starving this week. My mind isn't in the game at all. My no thoughts are not shutting down the mouth. I'm eating stuff like hot fudge topping, caramel topping - out of the jar. Am I eating the entire jar? No - THANK GOODNESS! I'm having a couple of teaspoons. Bizarre. Why am I doing this? I think setting a goal of no sugar puts some suggestion into my mind and my alter ego sugar demon surfaces. I did eat my veggies yesterday, love my black beans for lunch and my breakfast and dinner were great.

Weird little cravings when I'm starving...... light bulb..... When I'm starving? How did I get to the starving stage - I've got to be more aware of my hunger levels. Get something into my stomach sooner so I am not starving. I love blogging. I love getting my thoughts out of my head - reading them and getting the light bulb moments - my learning moments.

Have a great day! I hope to accomplish somethings on my to do list -
