No running or workout yesterday. I am getting another cold, yesterday it just settled in my chest and I slept through my alarm. My body knows when it should sleep and rest.

I did get up and run this morning. It was a fun morning. I ran and talked with three people at various points in the 5 miles. I love that. The time passes so quickly when you're not focused on running in a circle over and over.

I'm settling into my body. I know that sounds funny but that's what's happening. I'm happy with where I am and what I'm doing. Lifetime was a huge mental road block. I just wanted to be done. Done - no more running, no more tracking. What the heck? This is me now. This is what life is. I am active. I'm going to track. This is life.

I'm still trying to avoid sugar. The weekend wasn't kind but I think in life you have to have some moderation and not total elimination. Yesterday, I let myself get too hungry - never let yourself get HUNGRY. I wanted something NOW and the closest thing was sugary. I had a bite, mentally checked back in and recovered. Are you ever amazed at the old habits that slip back in so quickly?

Tomorrow is my long run - 10 miles. I'm trying to prepare mentally for it. I know I can do it - I just get bored. Have a great day!
