Feeling Human

I am finally starting to feel like a normal person again.  I don't think I realized how sick I was until I wasn't.  I guess that is a funny way of putting it. 

I brought my running stuff with me to work.  If Kim doesn't have to pick up her baby from the nanny she will 'run' with me after work.  I don't expect to break any speed records, distance either.  I am looking forward to a little bit of movement though.  I am sure it will hurt good, lol.  I feel bad because she is at least 2 minutes per mile faster then me.  But, I haven't ran in 6 weeks so I am sure she understands I am kind of starting from zero.

I looked up the Jeff Galloway marathon training program.  It is 30 weeks so I have plenty of time to train for the marathon in November.  I am both nervous and excited.  I look at the schedule and think I can totally do that.  Of course it is 30 weeks!!  That is a long freaking time.  The biggest obstacle I think will be the heat.  That and keeping the motivation level up over that length of time.  I really wish we had a Galloway training program here that I could sign up for.  Actually, I should check with the running store and see if they would allow someone to train there using the Galloway method.  I know they charge for the program.  I am not a strong enough runner to lead a group like that.  Maybe someday.

I really wanted to get my next tattoo before I started to run again; I want to get "The Journey of a Thousand Miles" along the side of my foot.  Can't really do that and run you need to give it at least a month to heal before you can wear socks.  Who knows when it will happen. 

Eating is kind of off the charts.  My weight was up to 111 this morning, which is where I like to keep it.  It will be hard to maintain without any restriction though.  I have regained my love for fast food.  I am trying really hard to resist as much as possible and keep portions in check if I do give in.  I forgot just how hard it is.  I have an appointment with the gastro doctor tomorrow morning and we can schedule the scope and see if there are any problems with the band.  Once that is done we can start to fill it up again.  I know I won't have it as full as it was but it is better than nothing.   

I feel like all I do now is eat and think about food.  It sucks.  I hope they can get me in to do the scope on Monday so I can get this behind me.  I am stuck in bandster hell all over again.  I would like to be able to maintain with more will p

I completely forgot to show you guys my new geek glasses!!!  I have been wearing my contacts so I haven't had a chance to get a picture of them....

I am totally geeked out today.  My bangs started to get on my nerves, so I braided them back, then my shoes started to hurt my feet so I dug my running socks out of my gym bag.  I am looking like a straight up poindexter!

nothing as sexy as slicked back hair, glasses, leggings, and socks.  Lock up your men folk ladies.
