Enjoying myself, knowing a vacation is coming up, but know that change is needed

Dear James, Daniel and Emily


Enjoyed today's nice, easy run. Breathing the rain swept air, the nice clean side walks and trail, the full creek. And that's what my focus is now: enjoy myself. Enjoy the running, not stress about any races or race prep. 

In a little over a week we will be on vacation, enjoying a week in California. And I should get the chance at least once, if not twice to take a run on the beach. Which is something I heartily look forward to. 

But after that vacation I know that something has to give, I have to get my appetite back under control. My body has adjusted to my current level of activity and calorie burn. And I am unlikely to increase that. So the only option is to return to more vigorous portion control and calorie counting. I know I can do it, and while I know it's an empty excuse, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to try and buckle down on vacation. 

So I will enjoy this time, enjoy my running, not sweat too much on the diet (within reason of course). And know that when I return will be time to buckle down.
