Okay, I'm back. Well, not back back because I didn't run today, but no longer MIA. I have been doing nothing but working and sleeping (okay, not sleeping). And pushups &c, the usual stuff. I'm focusing on my diet and habits a lot right now (whole foods, no substances, enough sleep) because in my mind these are the "building blocks" required for effective training and happy kids. As in, me. I'm the kid in this instance. In the holiday season, it is traditional to overeat, worry to death about overeating, take time off work, and inconveniently travel long distances in prohibitive weather. I don't see why we all do this to ourselves, and I intend to have a December as free from holiday hype as possible. I am taking no time off; I am going nowhere except the lake to work on my boat. I refuse to stop running outside and I hope to drink less, not more. Step one, this week, is to cut way back on sugar (seriously, it is in everything! I ate a bag of pretzels today only to notice it had dextrose in it, argh) and START SLEEPING.
