Refreshing weekend of accomplishments, plus an admission

Dear James, Daniel and Emily, First, I had a good weekend fitness wise. I didn't run Friday, chose to rest & sleep in with a full day with the kids on tap. But that was okay. Saturday I was able to get out and comfortably run 3 miles, with no soreness. Sunday I dragged myself out of bed and embarked on the first back to back run I had done since the half marathon. It wasn't easy, I was slower than I would have liked, but I hit 40 minutes and 3+ miles. So overall it was a success in my book. I did choose not to wal today, needing a day of rest, but back into it tomorrow. The Saturday run had the effect of giving me energy and helping me feel really good about some things. Including making the decision to end our Y membership as it has been sitting unused for sometime now. If I had more time to devote to other exercise routines it might be different, but all I am doing is running these days, and I don't need a gym for that! So I will be ending that soon. I also decided to accept that I am a soda drinker, I can reduce the intake, and try to drink more water and tea, but the bottom lines I really like soda. And when I accept that I have to realize that while it might not be healthy for me to drink so much aspartame, it is unhealthy for me to consumeso much sugar & empty calories. Given that I will revert to drinking the diet soda when I do drink soda. I can try to drink less, but I have to be realistic. Blog written listening to Muse on my iPhone
