Last chance!

Today was my last run before I start the big group training Saturday. I ran 2.5 miles. I was going to do a full 3 and time myself because that is what we are doing Saturday to get set in pace groups. However, I was sort of angry while I was running so I ended up running much harder than normal. I didn't realize it until I was almost done and had to stop because I thought I'd puke. Despite that, I had a great time.

Saturday starts the getting up at 5:15 a.m. business, and hoping on a bus at 5:54 a.m. Holy Shit. As someone who rarely can get out of her bed before 8, even on work days, this will be brutal.

I also had to buy some more gear today. This running business is pricey! I needed warmer running gear for this first run because it is going to be in the 40s and raining. I also got a new running watch so I could check my intervals much easier than carrying my half broke pedometer with me and constantly looking down to see what time it is.

Finally, I'm starving. At all times. I can't eat enough, but I also don't really want to eat. My stomach says "wah feed me" but the rest of me says "man that takes so much time and effort, forget it." No wonder I'm shedding inches so fast. I'll have to fix it soon enough though, because not eating and running 10-15 miles in one stretch is no good.
