This week I finally got my ass in gear and got serious again about running and dieting. The injury from the 1/2 marathon w/ my glut was a big downer and I just went downhill from there. I gained weight and then sporadically ran. Not the way I wanted to start my summer BUT things are changing.

My kids went to my parents for two weeks so I went to the store and bought only good stuff for our diet. It's all yummy stuff, it's just dieting and eating healthy with kids can be tough and expensive. With three less stomachs to fill I overloaded on fish and turkey knowing we will only need 2 servings out of each. It's nice to know a flat of blueberries will last a week and a bag of tilapia will last 4 days!! No breads or pastas at all!!

Last night I jogged 3 miles and I convinced my running partner to start going in the morning. Today we got up at 6 am and went for another 3 mile run. This morning's run was not my best. I felt sluggish but I had not eaten anything before going and was overdressed. Ahhhh well, at least I went. My goal is to run 4 times a week for at least 3 miles and keep on my diet.

And....I'm stretching and stretching some more before and after runs. No more injuries for this running chick!!

I have been taking some short runs lately. My hip is still just a little skewed but yesterday my son, Devin, went with me and we did 2miles at 10:30. It was slow but I wanted to puke at the end. It's crazy how a strain could have affected me that badly for so long. Next time I feel a sprain going on I won't push myself as hard, so it heals quicker!
