Thoughts on the weekend

Well, I'm heading out for 8 miles this morning. So many miles! Just 2 days ago I completed a 10 mile fartlek run and Saturday I have a 10 mile race (with 4 more miles added to that.) You'd think with all these miles, I'd be rail thin. Unfortunately, I've been given my license to eat...and the pounds have been adding up. On Tuesday, I made a decision to count calories. So, after much research, I figured out I would eat 1300 calories a day plus whatever I burned with exercise. And...TA DA...I'm down 2 pounds since Tuesday. We'll see how long this lasts!

I'm trying to decide if I really have a bad case of allergies of if my immunities are down from the mega miles. I don't feel bad - just have this irritating runny nose!! Errr!! Saturday, is the official Bell Buckle Moon Pie 10 Miler in Bell Buckle, TN. This will be my 6th race. Last year I set a new PR of 1:26. This year, ??? who knows...lately I'm all over the board. Dee Anna is tanning her behind in Florida right now...so I have to find someone new to challenge me. Should be a fun time though!

Got a new do yesterday! I went to a new "salon" instead of my usual $5.00 haircut. It's nothing huge, but a nice even cut with a few more blonde highlights. But, no more ponytail...that got the chop! I have what I call "cat hair." Fine, thin and willing to clump at any time.

Well, I have a lot to say today...but the coffee and the road is calling me.!!!
