Slept in.  Felt great.  Body really wanted it.  Lower calves are kinda tight from race Sat. then long run so soon afterwards.  But feels like it will get walked off today. Alot on the plate today: work, cleaning house (RS mtg here tonight), and packing and getting ready to leave town AGAIN tomorrow.  Not really keen on leaving town again, but have some family from FL in SLC for the weekend so figured I'd better take advantage of seeing them and spending Easter w/ my parents. My kids are really excited to see their cousins.  I'm committed to getting in a run this afternoon while waiting for my daughter during her gymnastics. (PREBLOGGING 4 miles for this afternoon, I know its dumb, but it helps me get out the door later in the day on the days that I sleep in- so hold me to those 4 miles!)

Something my pump teacher said this week in class really inspired me- in the middle of killing us w/ weighted lunges she said- "you are working so hard right now for your body, I want you to take that same effort and apply it to your diet and nutrition".  That comment has stuck with me this week.  I'm pretty good about working out, but I eat really junkie! I decided I need to put more effort into my diet and making healthier choices. The last couple days I've been trying to consciously make wiser choices and I feel reallly good about it!

Shoot! Preblogging failed today.  No miles later in the day.  Got really busy, lots of excuses- you all know its bunk.  Just need to try harder!

I have been feeling that too. Glad to know someone else is working on the eating better too. Its not easy, especially when we are busy-the junkier stuff is always easier to grab.

Hey, super shuffling sista, Love that Pre-blogging - There will be an answer, let it be, let it be, oh, let it be, without the beatles. (I know, does not make total sense, watching accross the universe) Pre-blogging kind of works to get the mind ready, good mental practice. Like your attitude.

SLC for the weekend, if your close to Murray, me and Sylvie are running 10 saturday on the parkway, welcome to join us.

Stay Kool, Pre-bloggie, B of BS Rools out
