so good.

training is going okay. it'd be better if i had a training partner. anyhow, this weekend i will do the first of three 20 milers the schedule requires me to run. it'll be the longest distance i have to run before the actual marathon. they figure adrenaline will pump you up for the remaining 6.2 miles. i'm getting excited and nervous. there are days i have to force myself to go out for the run, partly because my current schedule doesn't allow for me to run in the mornings anymore. by the time i get home from work, i'm mentally and physically tired. i try to nap, sometimes, this works, sometimes it just makes it worse getting out. it's getting darker earlier too, so i have to stick to running along busy roads, better to deal with car fumes than being assaulted along less frequented roads. the stoplights kill me. there's nothing worse than chugging along in a good groove and then having to stop. bad for warming up muscles, bad mentally too.

work is work. neither here nor there. i work for the paycheck and not much else.

runner's world has an article on the benefits of eating the foods you love, particularly Ice Cream. yes. i have said to myself, "franny, when you're done with this long run, there'll be a pint of Ben & Jerry's in it for ya" have to say, it works.
i run so that i can eat:
-ice cream
-pizza
-PA dutch cookies and bread
-Mike & Ike's and Milk Duds

the doc appt went okay. deeper and deeper digging is promised for the coming appts. hooray. i'll have to wear sweats and an old t because i left yesterday with seriously disgusting sweat spots all over me. a manifestation of anxiety. a few buttons were pressed, pressed gently, but pressed nonetheless and this time i think i'm ready to let it all pour out. i'm not ashamed to write about this. at least i can acknowledge i need a little help.
~~~
i've cut down on my consumption of coffee, and have opted for green tea for the last few days, candy too... but yesterday, i had some mike&ike's and i got a headache. this morning, i am having 1 small cup of coffee because all i've been doing is yawning...(yawning now!)
~~~
to do:
-more food shopping...i'm going through fruit like crazy
-may have to get a second pair of sneaks...
-need better running shorts
-can't think of anything else...
