Wanted to run 6 but I was running out of time and was bonking. It was 15 degrees hotter than my Sat am run, plus the heat index was in the stratosphere. Low carbs was another issue of the day which I fully realized when I peeled off my wet clothes to smell the lovely smell of ammonia (= serious ketosis). Not what I intended. I am trying to get my weight under control; I should add that I don't weigh myself. I just need my clothes to fit better. I've added in a few more carbs today to so tomorrow's run will be successful.

Tomorrow, I run very early as Bubbles, Honey, and Jeff and I are going to go pick organic blueberries. We are excited!

Seven miles. Whoohoo! Felt good. Did this run without SI belt. Didn't bonk and finished strong. Ran early because we went and picked organic blueberries. We had a really great time. I am grateful for such a sweet, well-behaved little girl in Bubbles. Other people with kids there were not having such a great time. One Mom complained to me, but I told her we were having a great time. Bubbles picked a lot and then only at the end did she start eating them. We joked with the people who own the place that we should have weighed her before and then after. They are used to it and they encourage kids. I think it is really important for kids to know where there food comes from. Grocery store? NOT!

We are joining an organic farm cooperative and I am excited. We buy shares in the farm and get at least 10 lbs of produce every week. I am excited to support this family farm and turn my family into locavores. Also, we have a friend who is going to raise a grass-fed cow with us. We will split the meat with them. We buy grass-fed beef, but sometimes it is hard to get. Bubbles will go visit the farm we have shares in soon.

 SI pain much better now. I sleep with the SI belt on for most of the night. Very romantic! It is helping and I am finally getting sleep! And, I am running. I couldn't be happier about that.

SBD-1 Day 8.
