Ash's wish before he blew out his candles: "I wish to go RUNNING!!!"

I can't believe it was three years ago today that I ended 54 hours of labor with giving birth to such a gorgeous, beautiful child. (bday pics coming soon)

Kim - off the top of my head, I'm not sure I know either of your sisters. But I plan on digging through my old school pictures - I think I actually have an old yearbook from Mission Park - to see if I can find/place them...enjoy Tico's for me!

I am definitely going to look into electrolyte pills to help my electrolyte levels - I think that would help the cramping I've been getting; not to mention helping me run better. (Easier?) I ate a zbar (Clif bar for kids) on my run on Sunday at the half-way point, and while I didn't experience any upset stomach (like I did with adult, full-size Clif bars), I think it slowed me down - something my body had to digest. But it sure tasted good! Something other than gels, you know?

Quick note on Sunday's run: Since I did two loops incorporating the road up Sabino Canyon, I ran into the same four/five couples who were hiking on the Phoneline trail (here's another phoneline link). For most of them, the woman whispered to the man, "Didn't we see her?" or something to that effect. One set of two men both went, "Hey, didn't we just see you up there?" and when I said "Yep, getting 16.8 miles today," they said, "Impressive!" One couple I actually passed THREE times - once on the phoneline, once up the road, and the final time as I was running pell-mell down the road. Very cool!

Also - drum roll please - I got more miles than Johnny last week. [!] 32-point-something (Check out the link to my training log on the right for specifics. I'm too lazy to check right now.)

Oh, I just ate a lunch that will kill my gallbladder: chicken breast on focaccia bread with caeser dressing, lettuce and shaved parmesan, plus half of a maple oat scone. Youch!

Need to post on disordered eating...have a draft started, but much more to say, so that's coming up soon.

This week's plan: take it easy. Tuesday through Friday, 2 to 3 mile easy runs with Paki. Wednesday morning, 9 mile solstice run on River Path - hopefully I will NOT get sucked into tempo running. Repeat after me: Recovery. Recovery. Recovery. Good job.
