Today's Run
I have found myself under a lot of stress recently. Some 'real', some created. But it is all stress. Money issues, dog issues, family issues, recreational issues, they are all combining to make me a little grumpy and frustrated.
Unfortunately, I have been letting that stress get to me in the form of letting my bad eating habits return. Fortunately I have generally not let it affect my exercise. I have kept up my running and other exercise for the most part. In fact those morning runs have really become my saving grace, some time alone to gather my thoughts and purge things at the beginning of the day.
I just need to push through some of the stuff, let it slide off me. And recognize when I am doing something I shouldn't, like getting that extra snack at night, or the second breakfast on the way to work, that I don't need that, it is the stress, and stop myself.
On the plus side, we had a great time at the race Saturday. Jimmy did very well. He has to learn to pace himself, he got ahead of me and was cruising for the first 2 miles, but then the pace wore him down and I had to help him finish the race, pausing to walk, jog real slow, keep talking to him and encouraging him. But he finished, both us around the 32-33 minute mark. I was real proud of him.
